A beautiful but “terrified” horse, to be sure. Anyone who knows the body languange of these animals knows the albino is seeking comfort from his “pony horse” by trying to lean into the bay horse and hang his head over the neck....this is what horses normally do to seek comfort when they are fearful in the herd. I have been around horses all of my life. It pains me to see the misunderstanding and misinterpretation of the normal, natural behavior of horses. The white horse is operating on pure adrenaline. If it wasn’t “challenged” in the field, before or during the race by an “alpha” horse’s body languange, it was able to use the adrenaline to it’s advantage and run a winning race. Those humans looking to place bets and be “winners” as well would benefit by studying equine body language and learn what makes a horse “ready”, “sharp” or a “loser”. I own a Thoroughbred who did his track time. He has the pedigree of a champion and the heart of what some would call a “loser”. I like him and he spends his time happily, with me and his buddies on our farm......who could ask for more??
