OFF TOPIC, but no, not the kind of ‘white power’ that’s been under fire from the nauseatingly ‘woke’ crowd in the past few years. This ‘white power’ belongs to ‘Sodashi,’ a filly who has become a sensation in Japanese horse racing because of her ‘pure white’ color, exceedingly rare in a Thoroughbred race horse.
Horsetalk With six wins in ten races, Sodashi, who has also been labelled the ‘unicorn horse.’ In total she has amassed $4,216,132.31 in US dollars- and looks to have yet more bigger days ahead of her. Sodashi has won her third top-level race in Japan, taking out the Group 1 Victoria Mile in Tokyo which means she automatically gets a spot in the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf at Keeneland in November.
White thoroughbred horses are exceedingly rare: As few as one in 100,000 are considered pure white. To qualify, the horse’s entire coat must be white and cannot have any other colors. Sodashi meets that definition.
Other light-colored horses that you might see at the track are registered as gray (a mixture of black and white hairs) or roan (red or brown and white). Some of these may become whiter as they grow older but still don’t qualify as the rare white horse.

I only like my equines as DARK as they come.
(Just kidding. The first pony during my childhood was as white as a Unicorn. Belonged to my Uncle but I was the one who spent time with it, and we became very fast friends. Sadly he turned epileptic and had to be put down. I wasn’t around in his death time.)

Gee, I had a dog (Miniature Schnauzer) when I was a kid who had to be put down as well because of epilepsy. I wonder if there are animal treatments for it today?

that fifth running gait she has is something to behold looks airborne for three lengths contact on two, would her eyes to match the hooves she would be the rarest of the rare albino … born to run beauty nothing more to add but the mouth and eyes full of dust both left open in awe as she passes
Classy Infidel says
With all the White bashing going around, this white horse story is truly heartwarming. I looked at the video a few times, the horse took its comfortable time and then sped up.
I think it is high time that we, White People, start speaking out against all that bashing we are under from ethnic groups and even among ourselves. We built this country, as well as others, from the bottom up and when we left, countries crashed.

Me too.

Gifts from God indeed! There’s two stories. The first is the longest one. The miracle horse. A strong and powerful undying bond between the girl and her beloved horse.

Mammal animals bond better with humans than humans do among themselves. A great story although a sad state of affairs for humans.
Linda Rivera says
Magnificent! God bless this wonderful, beautiful horse! The rare, white horse has a fighting spirit!
Horses are a wonderful gift to humans from our Precious, Awesome, Wonderful, Glorious Creator!
John Hopwood says
Do you know if the magnificent horse is an albino or ‘just’ a white horse?
BareNakedIslam says
I’ve seen some descriptions as albino, but not all.
Fritz the Cat says
What a beauty! Like something from mythology.

Beautiful horse!
Az gal says
What a beauty, plus she beat out all the others. Let’s hope BLM doesn’t enter the horse world. Looks like she is the best & that’s RACIST.

I thought it stated white powder… Now that I knew about…
