You would be correct on both counts. A palomino is a color phase not a distinct breed.

"In the United States, some palomino horses are classified as a color breed. However, unlike the Appaloosa or the Friesian, which are distinct breeds that also happen to have a unique color preference, Palomino color breed registries often accept a wide range of breed or type if the animals are properly golden-colored. The Palomino cannot be a true horse breed, however, because palomino color is an incomplete dominant gene and does not breed "true". A palomino crossed with a palomino may result in a palomino about 50% of the time, but could also produce a chestnut (25% probability) or a cremello (25% probability). Thus, palomino is simply a partially expressed color allele and not a set of characteristics that make up a "breed."

A Paint is a recognized breed with an association for them.

I fail to understand why ignorance of easily obtainable facts is endorsed by some in an effort to advance their personal agenda.

Being a keyboard commando and internet bullyboy does not make the man.

Any "larger" 30 caliber from a 300 Savage to a 30-378 Weatherby will kill any big game in the lower 48 if the "nut behind the bolt" is a capable hunter and shooter. Much ado about nothing.
