Answer: No, there is no albino gene in horses, though some may argue this case.
http://www.whitehorseproductions.com/white.html wrote:Albinism is caused by a recessive gene, meaning an animal must carry 2 copies of the gene, one from each parent, in order to express the color (or rather, lack there of). One copy of the gene has no effect on coat color. Because of this, 2 albinos bred together will always produce an albino, this simply does not happen in horses because no white horse's coat is caused by a recessive gene.

Answer: Yes they do, BUT they are extremely rare and are very hard to breed, most of the horses aid to be "albino" are not pure albinos, but Perlinos, Creamellos and Smoky Creams.
