Colour changing foal born.
« on: August 25, 2007, 10:05:17 pm »
A rare foal has been born in Suffolk to the UK's only breeding herd of colour-changing horses.

The horse is black at the moment but by the time he is four he will have become completely white.

The famous Camargue horses, bred at Valley Farm Riding Centre in Wicken Market, are born black or brown to help the young foals absorb the sunlight.

But they then shed their coat every autumn and it comes through a lighter shade each year.
