The rarest horses of divine color isabella

There is a very beautiful ancient legend that tells us about the name of the isabella horses. According to this legend, the famous Queen of Spain, Isabella Clara Eugene, who at one time was the ruler of the Netherlands, made an interesting vow. Its essence was that she would not take off her undershirt until King Albert of Austria defeated the port located on the territory of Belgium. As a result, if you recall the historical facts, the port of Ostend was under siege for a long three years. But, since the royal underwear was made of snow-white fabrics, during this time she managed to lose her pristine virgin color.

In those same years it became fashionable to start horses that have a delicate color with cream tint. Thus, graceful English horses began to be named after the color of the queen’s underwear, and a little later the name was transformed into the Isabella breed. These incredibly beautiful horses with blue eyes and pinkish hair look very mysterious and mysterious. Isabel color is also interesting in that it is the final result of the cross-breeding of different genes.

In terms of its type, the isabella horse is similar to a light nightingale, since its mane and tail have the same color with the body.

In America, the term “cremello” is used, which is the name of the red horse. We can safely say that cream color is the clearest example of incomplete albinism. As a rule, foals are born white, with delicate pink skin and beautiful blue eyes. And, if the eyes of the growing horses do not change their color, then their hair gradually becomes a certain color.
