I have an arab mare w/3 black feet and 1 white foot. The black feet gave
me more problems than the white foot and the white foot always grow faster.
Go figure?????

Anyway the reading that I have done on what research has been done
indicates that white feet aren't any different than black feet except for
pigmentation.(somewhere on internet -- I think the anvil sight)

Since I have put my mare on Source I haven't had ANY foot problems. Also
have a Gelding with 3 white and 1 black. He has great feet except for the
problem with white line disease we've had this year and the white line
didn't care whether the foot was white or black. He has also been on
Source since I bought him -- All his feet grow really fast!
