The Most Beautiful Horse Ever Seen

Описание: The Albino horse has the distinct characteristics of an animal with albinism, though it is not a true "albino." The biggest distinction is that its pink skin shows through its white coat, that has no grey or cream tint. Possible breeds that may possess these genes include Thoroughbreds, Arabs, Morgans, stock horses, Paint horses, and saddlers. The International Americal Albino Association Inc. (IAAAI) allows horses with a few small colored spots of hair only, not skin, into their registry.

Many experts believe the American Albino breed began with a single white stallion named Old King. This white horse sired many white-coated foals even when the mothers of such foals were non-white mares. Old King was purportedly of Arab Morgan extraction, although there are no records to verify this; his lines, size, and proportion, however, were typical of this breed.

It is Old King’s white-coated progeny that the AAHA (American Albino Horse Association), now the IAAAI, accepts in its registry. The modern Albino horse is still mainly used for riding and performance today.

The coat color of a true white horse is always a pure white color. There will be no dark markings, spots, tints, or speckles found anywhere in the entire coat. These horses should always have a spotless coat that is often seen with a pearl-like shine.

Skin Color

Horses that are truly white or albino in color will ALWAYS have pink skin. There are many horses who will have a white coat and pink skin, but can’t be considered truly white or albino because they have dark speckles and mottled skin. All albino horses or white horses must have pure white skin from their muzzle to their tail or else they can’t be considered white.

Eye Color

Because these horses have no pigmentation, this means that the color of their eyes is also diluted. The average horse has brown eyes, but horses with albinism, have pale blue, white, or pink eyes most commonly.

Mane & Tail Color

Like the coat color, the mane and tail of the white or albino horse must be white to be considered white or albino. Any existing pigmentation in the horse’s tail will automatically make it not able to be considered white.

Hoof Color

As you might notice in horses that have white socks or other white leg markings, the hoof on that leg is white. This is true also in albino or white horses as their whole body is white. The hooves of these horses will be white in color and carry no dark markings because of the absence of pigmentation in the horse’s body.
