White horses but can often be mislabeled, here is the run down.

Albino: This does not exist in equines, though some people will argue otherwise, albinism has never been documented in horses.

Grey: This is a color modifying gene that turns a horse 'white' with age, though this is not truly a white horse. A grey horses will have dark skin under it's coat.

Maximum white sabino: Technically yes this horse is white, usually has pink skin and might have blue eyes, but it's really a pinto with no visible color on it's coat.

White Spotting/ White Mutation/ 'Dominant white': Truly white horses caused by a genetic mutation, there are multiple forms of this mutation found in many breeds. Typically these horses have pink skin and brown eyes.

Double Dilution: This is caused by two copies the cream gene, it washes the coat color out to a very pale creamy white color and causes blue eyes. However the horses is not white.

What is the cheepest kind of horse?

Asked by Wiki User

The cheapest breed to keep would be a miniature horse. Typically a equine veterinarian and farrier will charge less for their care and they eat far less than a larger horse or pony. However Mini's should never be ridden, not even by very small children, They can pull a cart with a full grown man though. If you are looking for a riding horse that is on the cheaper side to keep, look for one that is known for being an easy keeper. They tend to do well on basic food stuffs and usually don't require any grain or supplemental feed beside hay and or grass.

A horse in the wild will act in much the same way a horse in domestic situations would. They graze for 10 to 20 hours depending on the quality of the forage, while grazing they will intermittently lay down and sleep, nap standing up, go to the water hole to drink, play with their herd mates, possibly breed with a stallion or mare, and always remain watchful of predators.
