 2.  The Rhone quarter horse.

 

flashy and popular Rhone's come in every shade from red to black to yellow thanks to the stunning silver color of their bodies you can spot them from a mile away the Rhone jean produces a whitish color pattern over any base color although it is easiest to see on darker colors due to the contrast the white hairs intermix with color hairs across the horse's entire body leaving only the head and legs untouched and giving the body a shiny silvery appearance sometimes a Rhone will even have a concentration of white hairs above the eyes making the horse appear to have white eyebrows.
