An albino British police horse is coping with this summer's heatwave with the help of 30 bottles of sun cream every day.
Humberside Police horse "Blue," nicknamed "Sunny," has a rare genetic condition which means that he has no melanin and therefore little or no pigmentation to protect him from the sun.
Mounted officers put out an Internet appeal for help to get Sunny through Britain's current heatwave. A pharmacy donated five gallons of factor 50 lotion in huge drums.
"We have been so worried about Sunny, especially now the temperature is soaring," a police spokeswoman said.
Britain has been experiencing a heat wave, with temperatures Tuesday reaching above 30 degrees centigrade (86.00F) for the fourth day running.

Gee, if they were so freaking concerned, maybe they could just let Sunny chill in his stall until the heatwave subsides. It would have to be cheaper than buying all that sunscreen.
