SWEET!! 😀 Wow I think she turned out totally awesome!! I’ll buy her from you if you actually want to sell her…She’s so pretty! The color really shows all the detail Melody sculpted into the face…the veins and wisker bumbs and everything…very nice!

-J R R TolkienAwww…thanks guys! She actually already has a new home! I decided to gift her to a friend who digs horses. Dont know if she’ll be fond of the unicorn thing, but we’ll see!
I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that I like her better then white or black unicorns. I think the color suits the sculpture detail much better. She looks like you could pet her and she would feel like a horse!
I had a palamino pony when I was a kid, her name was Goldie(I was 6). If you change your mind about gift giving, she would have a very special home here with me…*crossing fingers*
Thank you! I think her head came out best, but I cant take all the credit. I pretty much left the original grey shading. I just mailed her out, so homefully her new owner will give her some lovin! Im glad you liked her, though I felt kinda silly after I painted her!! A palomino unicorn 🙄
And why should there be no palomino unicorns? Just because them medieval naturalists didn’t know what the palomino color was because America wasn’t discovered yet… doesn’t mean there were no palomino unicorns! 😉

Palomino isn’t an American thing, precisely…. all horses in the New World originated from horses that were brought over from the Old World (Eurasia) – by the Spanish, though there’s the possibility that horses COULD have been brought over the Bering land strait too…
Granted, at least Arabian horse people seem to call genetic palomino “Chestnut” and deny the existence of the creme gene in Arabs…
But a golden palomino-coloured unicorn is certainly within the realms of plausibility… just as much as a blue-eyed white animal (which, incidentally, would be a double dose of the creme gene, Cremello – which you get if you cross two palominos together!)

actually depends on what color the parents and grandparents were…..
you can always end up with a red dun…or just another palomino…
cremello’s and purlino’s are not considered natural colors….they are considered birth defects….
at least in the quarterhorse world
You’re right, S. Just, if I’m not mistaken, “palomino” is an American word. There are European breeds that have palomino coloring – I’ve got two representatives in the barn. 🙂 I think Haflingers are a very old breed, but at least in German they’re called “brown” or “creme”, not chesnut or palomino.
