Lesson 2 True White

This is less a lesson because I want to teach you the ins & outs of creating a white horse & what a white horse is, & more because of my love for the color & how I get mad when I see a horse mislabeled white.

A true white horse is not a grey that has whitened with age its very different. a grey horse is born it's true color (bay, black, chestnut, palomino, buckskin........) & then as it ages turns white. A grey horse will have dark skin except under white markings. A white horse is born white the color never changes. White horses have pink skin, the eye color may very but is normally brown or hazel & can sometimes be blue although I believe that a blue eyed white is rare. Some of you may think I'm talking about albinos but there no albino in horses, any horse called a albino is in fact a mislabeled white. White or Dominant White horses can in fact have color similar to a extensive sabino but genetically they are White. For the Sims I would suggest that you keep Dominant White horses white as using the sabino patterned White may get a little messy when breding & so that you wont have problems getting a White registered.
