Name: LWS
Other names: white, LWS,LWO

Quick note the reason im putting this here is cus I'm tired of argueing with people over it and of the not doing reaserch.

Discription: A true white horse has pink skin, blue or brown eyes and is completely white. This is also known as LWS or Leathal white syndrome. LWS is caused by two dominante genes that carry the white factor, this causes LWS. Its extreemaly rare for a foal with LWS to live at all, the reason being that LWS causes weaked digestive and immune systems. LWS foals are almost always humanly eythinized or die on their own.
