Rare Horse Colors – The Facts
This post was published in 2008 and the information is outdated. Not only have horse genetics taken strides forward, but the information below needs updating and/or correction. We’ve decided to leave this page as is, to show just how complex horse color genetics are and how befuddled online information about them can be. For more accurate information about rare colors, please visit the new rare colors and markings page (the pics are much better too).
My goal is always to represent the horse world as accurately as possible, and as my regular readers know, I’m always asking for help to do that. I spend a lot of hours researching and putting together the articles (and pages) I write to be informative, educational and fun.

Feedback is always appreciated because it never fails to teach me something new and it means that my website is kept up-to-date and accurate.
