L'article anterior és molt interessant però necessito llegir-lo amb cura per
a provar d'entendre'l ( una mica ).
Aparentment hi ha 4 mecanismes genètics diferents que poden provocar cavalls

L'article informa de els Camarillo White Horses poden admetre sang forastera
sempre que els poltres resultants siguin blancs.
Queda clar, per tant, que NO són una raça.
