palomino

Golden-coated equine

A palomino is a horse with a golden or tan coat and a white or cream-colored mane and tail.

The coloring appears across many breeds and is prized for its striking appearance: She rode a palomino in the parade.

The term comes from Spanish and evokes the romanticized imagery of the American West.
