Equine Behavior Questions and Answers
The Question: Is it a fact that some dark colored horses do not like light colored (gray/white) horses or is it just coincidence and the color has nothing to do with it?
The Answer
Howdy.
Although I've heard many horse people claim that dark colored horses tend to dislike
gray and white horses, I haven't seen any evidence to back this up. In fact, my geldings Elvis
and Jawhari are 'best pals'. Elvis is a dark bay and Jawhari is a flea-bitten
gray. If you look at wild or feral horses, you'll see many different colors of horses
all grazing together.
