Re: Re: White hairs on a chestnut

Maryanne,
That's fascinating.  Not the climate, I'm sure.  Maybe the breeding, but I
used to ride arabs in Libya and Pakistan and did not see that phenomenon.
You'd think arabs in those not-too-distant countries would have similar
breeding although I didn't ever see a pedigree so I don't know.
