In 1918 Caleb R and Hudson B. Thompson purchased a stallion named Old King this horse was used as the foundation for the breed they successfully established the albino breed completely lacking pigmentation in the hair, skin, and particularly the eyes. The albino horses pink skin originally was thought to be objectionable and the eyes were thought to be associated with defective vision. Bear in mind the horses mane, white coat, and tail are not confined to the albino horse. Most white horses have skin that is dark and were gray or some other color when young.
