I recently bought a 8 yr old Palomino Mare. She is very gentle and a finished horse. I am a beginner and i rode her without any problems, an 8 yr old rode her and my friend who is a trainer rode her..

There is only one thing that I am "freaked out" about.. This horse is fast and I don't mean fast i mean FAST!!!!! everyone that seen her "run" is amazed. She will take your breath away if you are on her and she runs. She will slow down when you tell her "easy and whoa" but I need to know if this is a common thing for Palominos to be FAST! The previous owner told me she was fast and he raced her against a thoroughbred (which she won) but I thought he was just kidding. He wasn't

I feel like i need to tell someone who is experienced about race horses because she has the speed unlike any other.

Anyone know anything about Palominos being know for their speed?
