Scott
and Jackie Nelson were astonished when they first laid eyes on Coconut, a horse
from Melbourne, Florida. Her extraordinary appearance, captured when she was
just two days old, has fascinated over three million viewers online.
The
Nelsons, who own the Down Under Colour ranch and specialize in breeding horses,
introduced Coconut to the world through a video filmed when she was two years
old. According to the YouTube description, Coconut is known as a War Horse due
to her extremely rare markings. In Native American culture, such horses were
often ridden by chiefs or medicine men, who were highly respected figures.
To
be classified as a War Horse, the horse must have one blue eye with liner
around it and a shield marking on its chest. This blue eye is known as a Sky
Eye in Indian mythology, believed to guide the spirits of the Chief and
Medicine Man to their gods if they fall in battle. This unique characteristic
is what makes Coconut so special.
Watch
the video below to see Coconut in all her glory. If you found this foal as
enchanting as many others have, please share her story.
