Horse Color Research
There is a lot of research going on today, of many different kinds, all over
the world, into horse colors. This is no doubt partly because of the economic
value of a horse's color, but I know there must also be many like me who just
WANT TO KNOW.
We are not going to document the DNA type research going on; we leave that
for the universities. Rather, we're recording the microscopic and
macroscopic (big enough to see with the naked eye) appearance of horses' hairs
and their colors.
The two links below lead to a page of enlarged hairs and their
identification, and another page discussing different types and textures of the
hair itself.
