Did You Know?
There are less than 30 of them worldwide.
They carry a specific gene mutation that prevents the coat from expressing color.
They are born white, unlike grey horses that are born dark and lighten with age.
The breed became known in California as a flashy parade and performance horse.
The Camarillo White Horse was also featured in my rare horse breed article on Horse Rookie.
