  1. The great majority of them are, and they turn grey and then white as they age and reach maturity. However, there are also bay and chestnut Lippazzaners. I once knew a filly of this breed, and she was a chestnut, NOT a grey.

    There is also a breed known as the American Albino horse- these animals are pure white, and have normal dark skin and eyes. They are bred for their white color, and are often seen at parades and other public events, because they are very flashy and pretty to look at.  TRUE ALBINISM, which is a genetic mutation, results in the horse being born with white hair, pink eyes, and pink skin. That mutation is relatively rare, but it can occur in all mammals, INCLUDING PEOPLE. When I was in college, one of the horses I rode was a true albino mare- she had the classic pink skin and nose, etc., and the white hair. She was perfectly healthy- contrary to popular belief, the albino gene is not always fatal-and I enjoyed riding her.

    That answer your question??


  2. YES AND NO !!

    Not a true BLACK,, But very close to it , so I might as well say yes,, and as the horse ages he does turn grayer and more dappled ,,

    Then when reaches about 9 -13 his dabbles start going away , and become more of a  flea bitten gray  ..



    Black Lips do come in pure black .. very rare and the

    do not know how many Black Lipizzaners are out there ""

    But they are Prized == Rare,,

    Now as to a true white horse ,is called a albino Because of the pink skin underneath ,, and pink around eyes, lips etc..

    And to your question ,, not all Lips that are born,,

    are Stallions""

    That includes the mares also ,,

  3. Aside from the rare solid-colored horse (usually bay or black), most Lipizzans are gray. Like all gray horses, they have black skin, dark eyes, and as adult horses, a white hair coat. Gray horses, including Lipizzans, are born dark—usually bay or black—and become lighter each year as the graying process takes place. Other than the rare individual who does not carry the gray gene, Lipizzans usually gray quickly. They usually have a completely white hair coat by the average age of seven, though the range varies from six to ten. Contrary to popular belief, Lipizzans are not actually true white horses. A white horse is born white, has pink skin and usually has blue eyes.
