Had to check. It depends on which angle you look at :') 1 would say 2 dark (the front) 1 white and one half and half on the back:')
When I first started bathing him I couldn't get him white. I would scrub and scrub trying to get the spots off. (His spots are actually big freckles).
A little girl about 10 brought her horse up to me a few days ago. She was really upset. She found some "grey" hairs in her horses poll hair and upset he was getting old (made my day. Thank goodness for high lighters:'). I showed her that Okie has 4 differnt colors in his mane. That perked her up a little. She told me , "you won't be able to tell when he starts to get old".

I had a white (very light grey) stallion when I was showing in high school. They make special shampoo now for white horses, but you know what is cheap and gets them white? Laundry bluing. It is hard to find sometimes, because only old ladies still use it in laundry, and in their hair ;~D
But it would whiten yellow stains, particularly in their tails. Just add a bit to water and sponge it on him, let it sit and then rinse. For my stallion's tail, I would just hold the bucket up and soak his tail in it.
