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.〔("Introduction to Coat Color Genetics" ''from'' Veterinary Genetics Laboratory, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California, Davis.

==True white horses==
White horses have unpigmented skin and a white hair coat. Many white horses have dark eyes, though some have blue eyes. In contrast to gray horses which are born with pigmented skin they keep for life and pigmented hair that lightens to white with age, truly white horses are born with white hair and mostly pink, unpigmented skin. Some white horses are born with partial pigmentation in their skin and hair, which may or may not be retained as they mature, but when a white horse lightens, both skin and hair lose pigmentation. In contrast, grays retain skin pigment and only the hair becomes white.
White colorings, whether white markings, white patterns or dominant white are collectively known as depigmentation phenotypes, and are all caused by areas of skin that lack pigment cells (melanocytes). Depigmentation phenotypes have various genetic causes, and those that have been studied usually map to the ''EDNRB'' and ''KIT'' genes. However, much about the genetics behind various all-white depigmentation phenotypes are still unknown.
