Most if not all white horses are actually grey. Most grey horses are not white. If you are hoping to display a mounted Henry IV then use any colour of horse you desire. |

@all LOL,"Blanc" was his name, he was bay. |

Perhaps Jim. Based on years of experience watching my daughter's riding classes, from a distance they can appear white. |

Perhaps Jim. Based on years of experience watching my daughter's riding classes, from a distance they can appear white. Thanks Bill I spent many years working in an educational establishment which had its own Equine Hospital along with world class staff. Horse terminology was such that a horse that appeared to be white or mostly white was still a 'grey' in their eyes. There being no such classification as a 'white' horse. As a wargamer I am happy to use 'white' or 'grey' as appropriate. Nowadays I only paint a white horse just using white paint when I'm in 'old school/toy soldier' territory and several shades of grey paint with a final drybrush of white when in my top quality commission paintwork.
