You can get Albino Horses, but they are very rare.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 are common in Quarter Horses and Tennessee Walking horses.
The other is 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. They are usually only seen in Thoroughbreds.
Unlike true albinism, both cremellos and white horses are verifiable and reproducible genetic colors.
Though both colors are called "albino" by some people, neither are true albinos. you can get an Albino horse if you get lucky. i saw one once and didn't sell

What is the name for tan and white horses?
Strictly speaking, there are no black, white or black and white horses.
Horses which appear black are just very dark brown and are officially called Dark Bay. This can be confirmed by examining the roots of the coat, which will clearly show brown. Similarly, most horses which appear to be white are actually just very Light Grey and are officially known as such. The only exceptions are true albinos, which lack any pigmentation whatsoever and injured or branded areas of a horses coat, where the pigmentation cells have been destroyed.
That aside, a horse which appears white with black patches or white with black patches is called a Paint, as it looks as if someone has dabbed it with a paintbrush. This is often corrupted to Pinto (paint-o), particularly in North America. In official circles these are both regarded as slang terms, the type being correctly designated Piebald. Where the contrasting colour is Dun or Light Bay, the type is referred to as Skew Piebald or just Skewbald for short.

However, horses that are bred for spot such as show jumping are not allowed to enter top competitions until they at least five years old. This is because the horse's muscles and bones are not fully developed until then and they might injure themselves.
