This horse resides at a stable of show horses. He is high strung and yet, docile and sweet to be around. I captured this image while he and others were running in the pasture on a windy day. His mane is really long and it is believed he has a lot of Arabian horse genes. As for the white, he is probably originally a gray color and has turned white with age I used the photo of him and then painted a background and base, then added stroke work and digital painting in corel, topaz and or photoshop with an array of brushes, some I did not like and had to go over this one some.. White horses are born white and stay white throughout their lives. White horses may have brown, blue, or hazel eyes. "True white" horses, especially those that carry one of the dominant white (W) genes, are rare. Most horses that are commonly referred to as "white" are actually "gray" horses whose hair coats are completely white and may be born of any color and gradually "gray" as time goes on and take on a white appearance.
