What bugged me about Hidalgo was the scene(s) where Viggo is supposed to be riding bareback and the saddle is clearly visible.
Xander: Just once I'd like to run into a cult of bunny worshippers. Anya: Great. Thank you very much for those nightmares.

Not all Belgians are palomino, but the breeder near where we lived in NC bred for that coloration.
Most of them are light chestnut. I considered mentioning them, but decided against it.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
You plant people know you're the only ones who have the slightest clue, right? The rest of us just go "flower!"
You don't know the half of it. My entire interaction with the boards is made up of me sitting at the computer and shouting "actor!" "dress!" "cat!" "nun!"
I think you'll agree, my voice recognition software is top-notch.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
There used to be a whole big run of young adult horse books that featured palominos.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I'm for damn sure there's a palamino somewhere in a Sweet Valley High book. Palamino = favorite horse of oung girls not Plei or Zen or Aims? Funnily enough, I love appys and percherons.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
And now I'm giggling at Plei's horse posts, given her current tagline.
And I thought the cream-to-platinum mane, tail, and points with a medium-to-pale chestnut coat defined palomino--do I have that wrong?

There's a champion Belgian breeder back home in my area of Pennsylvania. I loved going to the country fair so I could get up close and stare at the big, mellow horses. Such a gorgeous color.

Genetically different. The palomino is a chestnut with a single dilute gene (double dilute gives you a cremello). Belgians are generally undilute light chestnuts with flaxen manes and tails.
(ETA, I had TOTALLY forgotten this was my tag. HA!)

Yeah, I noticed that about the foal too. (Perhaps whoever cut the trailer got the wrong foal- here's hoping.)
Of course, the foal could still have been very, very wet.
