There’s an old Arabian horse legend that goes something like this: Praise the red horse for his speed for if you see a red horse flying than believe it for his feet don’t touch the sand when he gallops. Praise the bay horse for his courage and strength ,if you see a bay horse fall from the highest mountain and is safe then believe it for the bay horse is fortunate and strong. The white horse is the mount of kings, for on the head of the rider is a crown. The black horse is the mount of death except for the horse with 3 white socks and the right fore clear he is the most precious of the blacks.
So white horse is mount of kings. ( these are greys by the way, technically a white horse has pink skin and pale eyes).
Upvote for knowing the difference between a white horse and a grey, lol
These are sure beautiful. Another story said they are Fell ponies, which are usually black - ? I've never seen a grey Fell but I know the Queen was fond of the breed.
Horse colour genetics is a bit of a hobby of mine. Don’t often see grey Fell ponies but they sure look like Fells, you are correct they’re mainly dark colours. Genetically greys are interesting. You need 1 grey parent to throw grey so one or both parents of these would have to be grey too,I wonder if she bred or bought them. Thanks for the upvote :)
So the true question is:
Are horse girls as nutty as the media portrays them?
Yup ,stark raving mad.lol
Also:
Four white feet and a white nose,
Cut off his head and feed him to the crows.
It was believed that white feet weren't as strong/sturdy as darker-colored feet.
Oh dear! We would never have had beautiful California Chrome!
I’ve heard the 1 foot buy him ,2 feet try him and so on saying , but not that one. I’ll have to remember it. :) There’s no difference in white and dark coloured horn but I know lots that will steer clear of white feet and believe that. My best footed horse is actually a Perlino with white feet , his feet are as tough as nails.
Also: "A good horse has a good color"
Article says it depends on the culture.

REVELATION 6:8
“And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.”
