     The old time favorite song, “She’ll be coming around the mountain,” was a classic.  It’s lively, buoyant music lifts your spirits and adds bounce to your step.  The song tells about a lady coming home.  The second verse of the song describes the color of the lady’s horses. 

        “She’ll be driving six white horses when she comes…” 

   

      If she was driving quarter horses that verse just ain’t so.  There’s no such thing as a white horse.  According to the American Quarter Horse Association, the lady was driving grays.  The AQHA recognizes 13 distinct colors and white isn’t on the list.

 

This column discusses the 13 colors recognized by the American Quarter Horse Association and the variations in different color categories. An informative column that is helpful to all horsemen.
