Wow! Is there a name for that? Even the horse next to him (or her) seems to looking like, 'uh, what's that?"

She's registered as white but there's got to be a name for it

She's a Dominant White Same as the Shirayukihime tribe, only they're completely white vs this expression of DW. Same Halo over Northern Dancer bloodlines.

There is a horse running at Woodbine named Widmo who has a bald face much like Apache Cat but I could not find a photo of him anywhere.

Oh man, if we're going to mention Sato (who I don't adore - though his color is gorgeous and I hear he's a great dude - but I am HEAD over heels in love with his son, Simba Twist!), then let's not forget pretty much anything sitting over at True Colors:

I'm particularly font of Faux Finish and Nightlight, and their dam.

Not a TB, but stunning nonetheless:



Note from the owner on FB:

Hi guys,
I was just told about this link and wanted to comment.
This is my horse Austin, he us a 4 year old Gypsy Vanner. He is not a grey, he is a chocolate silver dapple...
He turns this light grey with his beautiful dappled in the winter, however in the summer he is a deep chocolate!
It's truly amazing!
He has accomplished so much in the show ring as well. Our main discipline is dressage although he has competed in 3 breed shows doing everything from halter, trail, western, english and jumping ! He has now started driving and he is also my everyday trail horse!
You can see more of him on our website

Thank you all for the wonderful comments,
God Bless

Looks like she doesn't have any hair on her body? Cause she's so "pinkish". The darker spots just look like pigmented areas of her skin.

Just saw this horse, his photos are really amazing, the color changes, he doesn't look like the same horse. He is very striking.

It's not unusual for white horses to look pink when they're sweating--I think it's because the white hair gets slicked down and the skin can be seen through it. I saw a picture a few months ago of a white stallion who turned very pink when he was working...I'll see if I can dig it up, but since I can't remember the horse's name, that might be difficult. Since normal coloured horses have dark hair over dark skin, you don't get the same effect. (And greys that have gone white with age have dark skin, so it doesn't look the same either.)

I assume partial whites like her have dark skin under the dark hair and pink under the white, since the white's pretty much a big white marking. (Sort of like calico cats, who have dark skin under their black patches and pink under their red/white patches. My kitty unfortunately lost some hair on her back this summer due to allergies, and I was fascinated by her particoloured skin!)

ETA: I did some Googling, and stumbled on this thread: http://www.illinoishorse.com/smf/ind...?topic=5889.45, which both contains pictures of a white TB stallion looking very, very pink and his owner explaining it's because he was drenched in sweat.
