United States
History
While the „albino“ is a colour and not a breed, the Albino, or white horse, has been given a registry in America. In days of old, white horses were reserved for queens and kings, the bravest knights, Indian chiefs and so on. Riding a pure white horse was a sign of high position or affluence. White horses were described in folklore and portrayed in early art as animals of tremendous endurance and beauty.
The American Albino Horse Association represents horses that are white. It was started to recognize offspring of a single white stallion named Old King, who had the reputation of producing many pink-skinned, white foals from solid-colored mares. Old King was purchased in 1918 and taken to a ranch in Naper, Nebraska. It was assumed that he was of Arab-Morgan ancestry, due to his conformation.
From 1918 to 1936, Caleb and Hudson Thompson, his owners started their venture with a herd of Morgan-bred mares to produce a breed of all-white horses. In 1936, they realized the need for a recording system wherein breeding records could be maintained for future guidance in their breeding program.
In 1937 the American Albino Horse Club was formed at the White Horse Ranch in Naper, Nebraska. Its object was to collect, preserve, and verify the pedigrees of the American Albino and to promote interest in the various types of the American Albino.
Description
The American Albino is described as beautiful, intelligent, and good in every instance where the horse is used to entertain the public. It has an excellent disposition and shows a willingness to tackle any job. Generally, the white horse exists in nearly all breeds.

Ambsa as raças Mangalarga Marchador e Campolina são reconhecidas por produzirem animais que proporcionam extrema comodidade ao seu cavaleiro, pois possuem um passo que chamamos de marcha em que há o trÃplice apoio, sempre três patas do animal devem estar no solo não havendo elevação e causando grande conforto para o cavaleiro durante o andar, contudo deve a marcha ser avante e render para que o animal consiga enfrentar longas cavalgadas. O Mangalarga Marchador é um animal de linhas suaves e tem na Marcha sua principal caracterÃtica, o Campolina também marcha e costuma ser um animal mais alto que o Magalarga Marchador, visando obter o melhor das duas raças muitos brasileiros fazem o cruzamento entre elas, originando um lindo animal que costumamos chamar de Mangolina.
A Arthemis, nome de minha égua é um fruto deste cruzamento e que saiu da cor albina pena que não posso registrá-la porém é um lindo animal albino e excelente para montaria, já fez várias cavalgadas, chegou andar mais de 100Km em apenas um dia e todos os mitos do cavalo albino ela contraria pois encherga e ouve bem além de demonstrar muita resistência.
Foi um prazer escrever para voveis e aguardo resposta.
