Yes, white does exist in horses. It is called 'Dominate White' and is a genetic mutation of the Kit gene. It causes a white coat, pink skin, and brown eyes. There are also other forms of white caused by the Sabino and Splashed white genes (this can also cause blue eyes instead of brown) .
White is not to be confused with Grey where the horses coat turns white over a period of time. (They have grey skin under the hair.) Or Double Dilutes, such as cremello, perlino, and smoky cream. These horses have pink skin, blue eyes and an off-white or creamy colored coat.
It depends. There is the color "white" that is usually to categorize horses, but there is also pink or red-eyed albino, along with blue or wall-eyed albino.

white horses
well...white horses are actually called greys, if thats what you mean Answer 2: There is no specific name for a white colored horse unless you are referring to the color itself. There are two basic types of white. The first and most common is called 'Maximum White Sabino', this is where a Sabino marked horse comes out with no color in it's coat, they typically have blue eyes. Then there is 'True Dominant White' which is a mutation of the KIT gene and allows the horse to come out pure white. Grey horses who's coats have turned white with age are often misidentified as white due to a lack of color knowledge. The old and very persistent rumor that there are no white horses is just that, a rumor.
