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

∙ 11y agoYes. Albinism is a lack of melanin, colour of skin.
True albinism has not been observed in all species. True albinos have no pigment, including in the eye so the eye must be pink. May species do have individuals with reduced or no skin pigment, however no examples of true albinos.

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.
Are white horses actually called white horses?
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.

Where are albino horses from?
They come as a mutation of sorts coming from the sire and the dam as carriers of the albino gene. Answer 2: It should be noted that 'Albino' horses, if it is a true albino, typically die at or just after birth due to having no intestinal tract. A true albino will have no color pigment to their hair or skin and their eyes will appear red. Cremello and Perlino are often confused with albinism in horses. Cremellos have a creamy to whitish colored coat with pink skin and blue eyes, their mane and tail may be the same color as the body or white. A perlino colored horse has the same coat, eye and skin color as a cremello but will have a chestnut or orange-ish colored mane and tail.
