The only way they could be full body grey or white is if they are mixed with another breed (like Andalusian--which makes a Warlander). There is no purebred white Friesian.
I found something! The only way a friesian can be white is if they are albino!The only way they could be full body grey or white is if they are mixed with another breed (like Andalusian--which makes a Warlander). There is no purebred white Friesian.
The only white you'll see on a purebred Friesian is a star or sock. And this is quite rare. But it can happen.
Maybe that's what my mom meant and just didn't bother to specify it was a mutation
Yeah maybe
Correct. Albinism does not occur in horses.Well, I have never heard of an albino horse. So, I did a little research and turns out, horses cannot be albino:

Now, you will see colors such as cremello and perlino, but those horse's will have pigmented eyes. Albinos have no pigment. Back before genetics were studied and known, these horses were called "albino" but genetically were not.
Horse pictured is not a Friesian, looks like a draft pony breed in cremello or perlino coloring.
If a Friesian is colored like this, it has to have the cream dilution from another breed--therefore it wouldn't be a purebred Friesian.
Mine is probably quarter horse or thoroughbred. I’m pretty basic lol. My horses are quarter horses but I really like the conformation on thoroughbreds.
Exactly! Great choices. I like all of them too!!Friesian would be my number 1 favorite breed. Breeds that I really like or would like to own:
Gypsy Vanner
Icelandic
Barock Pinto
Andalusian from the Cartuja Stud in Spain
Lusitano
I actually like all breeds of horses. They all have their place in someone's heart and I think it's wonderful that we get such a great variety!
