No, albinism does not exist in horses. The lone rangers horse (in the tv show) was a cremello. A cremello is a chestnut horse with two copies of the cream gene. This dilution causes the coat to turn nearly white, the skin becomes pink, and the eyes turn blue.
In the new Disney movie the horses used were dominate whites. This is a genetic mutation found in certain breeds and family bloodlines. Dominate white horses have white hair, pink skin and brown eyes.
The term albino is still used by horse people or non-horse people who do not know any better to describe a horse of pale color with or without blue eyes.

What does an albino horse look like?
There has never been a genetically verified albino horse. The albino gene does not occur in horses. There are two colors that appear albino. One is Cremello, which is caused by two copies of the gene that makes a horse palomino or buckskin. They have pink skin and blue eyes. Cremello coloration is common in many horse breeds. The other is dominant white. The horse is born white, unlike a gray horse that is born any other color and turns white with time. They have pink skin and can have blue or brown eyes. This color is a founding characteristic in the American White Horse, and the Camarillo White Horse. It is also seen in Thoroughbreds, Quarter Horses, Frederiksborg horses, Icelandics, Shetlands, and Franches Montagnes, and Peruvian Paso horses. Although, since it is a mutation it can occur in any breed or individual horse. These horses are not always necessarily completely white; they may resemble high-white sabinos in rare cases with fewer than 10% of any other coloration on their bodies - the coloration usually occurs over the topline, on the ears, in the mane, and in hoof striping. High-white sabinos, overos, and tobianos are sometimes confused for albino, even though they are not. Unlike true albinism, these horses are verifiable and reproducible genetic colors. Althought the colors are called "albino" by some people, none of these are true albinos.
What cowboy had horse named paint?
According to my childhood memories, there was an old show with a horse named "Paint.". My father has an old expression that he repeats constantly: "Okay old Paint, let's get where we ain't." According to the website: www.fiftiesweb.com/horses.htm, "Paint" is one of 3 names used for Tonto's horse in "The Lone Ranger" series. It says that the horse's name was "Scout," but that he was also called "White Feller" and "Paint." Hope this helps.
