Now THAT'S a horse of a different color

This is a horse I started under saddle in 2003. He was 2 years old when these first pictures were taken. Some of you might already know that white (called "grey") horses don't start out white. This is Cole, who was born black, then went to dark bay, then to grey, and now he's almost white. Compare these pictures I got of him when he was 2 with the ones I took of him yesterday as a 7 year old. In another year or so he will likely be all white with some small brown flecks (called "fleabitten grey").

Full body picture as a 2 year old

You've never met horse lips as investigative as these.


If you believe me that it's really the same horse...
