they're both beautiful. i know that when they grow older, they turn white but why are they born dark anyway?

Even though they turn 'white' they are technically 'grey'. Most grey horses have the feature of being born a darker color in part due to the skin being mostly black. As they grow older the dark coat hairs are slowly replaced by whitish hair.
