I've never heard the term "white horses" before, at least as it relates to the topic at hand. Now that I see some examples, I'll see what I have. I know I have a few shots, including last month's offering to the contest.

Sigurd Olson coined the phrase "galloping white horses" to describe the rising, dancing white clouds that form over warm water.

Mine isnt exactly a fog/mist picture but what i believe a "white horse" image is something that you imagine in your dreams and almost seems like a fantasy. and i dont have any pictures with fog :)

Sigurd F. Olson Web Site: Denis Coolican's 1955 Churchill River ...Joining Denis and Sigurd Olson on this trip were Omond Solandt, ..... a small rapids with one or two very large white horses at the bottom of the portage. ...
That's what I thought also. Sorry no pictures either.

Dancing morning mist or white foamy crests? Turns out...it's both.
In "The Singing Wilderness" Sigurd Olson uses the sentence "in the morning when the white horses of the mists are galloping out of the bays". In "The Lonely Land", the term white horses is used in describing the running of rapids.
