It can be blamed on "melano blastoma." "Melan . . .etc.," it should be explained quickly, is a technical word for a kind of tumor which horses get if they aren't careful. The tumors, the AVMA ex plained, come from old age. "As the horse's hair turns from gTay to white, the pigment of the original color becomes con centrated in certain places on the skin or in the organs, and tumors are the result," the association said.
