About The Breed
In 1921, Adolfo Camarillo purchased a pure white stallion at the Sacramento State Fair—a horse that would become the foundation of a new breed and the beginning of a family tradition. These horses carry a unique genetic mutation that prevents their coats from expressing color, a trait found only in the Camarillo White Horse. Unlike gray horses, which are born dark and gradually lighten with age, Camarillo White Horses are born white. They are extremely rare, with fewer than 30 believed to remain worldwide.
Beyond their unique coloring, the breed is known for its calm temperament and intelligence. These qualities make them eye-catching parade and performance horses while also allowing them to participate in a wide variety of disciplines, including ranch sorting, jumping, and dressage.
