ah well…since my parents wouldn’t let me get a horse and keep it the backyard, I’ve given up on the whole thing…
oh yeah….cause they make a lot of poo…..and eat a whole lot…..
costs more to take care of one….than to get one….especially since I worked there they would have helped me find one pretty cheap but about $5000 a month to take care of one

Halflingers can’t be palomino. If you breed two Halflingers, you get a foal with the same coloring. If they were Palomino, you would get a cremello foal.
Arabs do not carry the creame gene that gives you palomino and buckskins. They do carry chestnut that looks a lot like palomino. Genetic testing confirms chestnut.Beautiful painting!
They may not be palomino by gene, but they have a palomino coloring – yellowish-brown coat, white underside and feathers, white mane and tail. Except for now – because they rolled and are muddy and black from top to bottom. Lovely, now we can wash them off at freezing temperatures.
Also, we don’t shoe our horses. Mostly we ride roads with them, and shoes just make it slippery, especially in the winter time with ice.I hang out in the paint horse world and we would get the same types. People arguing that their horse must be a paint becasue it was so much white on his face and a white spot here and blah blah blah. They would get crazy because they would breed two horses hoping to get an overo and end up with a tobiano. It was fun. I just loved horses…

Welcome to the forum, Phoenix!
yeah we would have people all psycho because when I was there, only so much white was allowed on a quarterhorse….they changed some of the rules now…..but it’s still scary
I’ll take a quarterhorse with too much white any day! I fell in love with paints..the only thing is, they are a pain to keep clean 😕
