White (horse)

White horses are born white and stay white throughout their lives. White horses may have brown, blue, or hazel eyes. 'True white' horses, especially those that carry one of the dominant white (W) genes, are rare. Most horses that are commonly referred to as 'white' are actually 'gray' horses whose hair coats are completely white and may be born of any color and gradually 'gray' as time goes on and take on a white appearance.
