Taht is a possibility that occurred much later especially since the horses of Eomer's Eored are greys . I think only Asfaloth the elf-horse and Shadowfax are white as is Gandalf's horse inthe Hobbit if I remember correctly.

Also it stregthens the contrast between the black horses of the Nazgul. Thier darkness and Glorfindel's white light... which Frodo also will acquire ..according to Gandalf in the next chapter.
