* Palomino: This is the most common term used for a golden horse with a pale mane and tail. The coat color is typically a golden yellow to light chestnut, and the mane and tail are white, cream, or flaxen.
* Buckskin: This term is used for a horse with a golden-brown coat, often with a black mane and tail. While the mane is not typically pale, it is possible for a buckskin to have a lighter, flaxen mane.
* Dun: This term refers to a horse with a base coat color of bay, chestnut, or black, and a dorsal stripe, often with zebra-like stripes on the legs and a primitive marking on the forehead. Some duns can have a golden-brown coat with a pale mane and tail.
* Golden Champagne: This is a rare color variation where the coat is a golden yellow with a light mane and tail.
Ultimately, the best way to describe a golden horse with a pale mane is to be specific about the shade of gold and the paleness of the mane and tail.
