The Patchen Wilkes Farm in Lexington, Kentucky, specializes in breeding exceedingly rare white thoroughbred horses. Their horses are raised for racing or sold to those interested in having one of their own.
Barry Ezrine is the manager of the farm, and he remembers when they had their first white foal in 1995. Ever since then, they have bred 13 magnificent white horses.
In a recent interview, Ezrine was presenting a five-year-old white mare named Beautiful Devil. She had given birth to a white foal named Dam. He was her first ever foal.
Ezrine explained that it didn’t matter what stallion the mare was bred with. The white is a dominant gene that comes from the female line. They are very unique and beautiful.
Most people who love horses and horse racing have never seen a white thoroughbred before. That’s how rare they are, and Patchen Wilkes Farm works hard to produce the white horses that everyone loves.
There was a time that the local news station filmed Ezrine with a mare and a foal in the barn. After that, there were calls from all over the world asking about the white horses.
Eventually, Dam will join the other foals and horses since they are herd animals and love to be around each other. There are no other horses in the world like them.
