The Camarillo White Horse is a rare horse breed less than 100 years old known for its pure white color. It dates back to 1921, when Adolfo Camarillo, one of the last Californios, purchased a 9-year-old stallion named Sultan at the California State Fair in Sacramento. The California White horse was owned and bred by the Camarillo family until the death of Adolfo Camarillo’s daughter Carmen, in 1987.

“The flame o’ th’ taper
Bows toward her, and would under-peep her lids,
To see th’ enclosed lights, now canopied
Under these windows, white and azure laced
With blue of heaven’s own tinct.”

In a slow silent walk
With an old horse that stumbles and nods
Half asleep as they stalk.”
