Brindle coats, curly coats, spotted coats, shiny coats... I've seen them all. However, I've never seen a hairless horse before! While it's more common in cats and dogs, hairless in horses is quite rare. Part of this is because the mutation that causes hairlessness in horses tends to be fatal.

No, this is not a 'shopped* photo. This is an actual horse, who is actually this beefy. Meet Kids Classic Style. "Bucky" is an 1800 pound, 16 hand American Quarter Horse. He is also HYPP N/H.
