just to be picky...

He isn't an albino. He's technically a gray. No pink eyes, right?

note the gray muzzle and how it fades into white as it goes up the nose.

Grays are notorious for skin problems, one reason why military and police horses are generally brown (Bay or Chestnut).

Rereading the story, it appears that the BBC don't claim he's albino, either, just "with a skin condition".

Still.

Horses are very cute.

I wouldn't call horses "cute". I'd call them "noble" or "majestic".

You've never seen a Clydsedale trying to convince you that it's small and fluffy and needs a treat, then.

You're right, I haven't.

I have had a Percheron step on my foot. Though I liked that particular horse, He was not cute at that point in time.

Indeed, horses are cute. I would not own three of the bloody hay burners if it wasn't so. Mine are all chestnuts. (reddish brown with brown manes, sorta all-over redheads)

Not every albino out there has pink eyes. It depends on the amount on melanin in there.
