Horse gives birth to rare foal – you won’t believe the markings on her face

When Scott and Jackie Nelson first saw Coconut, they were amazed. They couldn’t believe such a unique horse was a native of Melbourne, Florida.

Over three million people have marveled at Coconut’s beauty. The Nelsons recorded her at just two days old to share her unique appearance with the world.

At two years old, the couple, who run a ranch called Down Under Colour, took Coconut outside for the first time on camera. They breed horses and were excited to show Coconut’s unique features.

According to a YouTube description, Coconut is also known as a War Horse. She has rare markings that make her special. In Native American culture, War Horses were revered and ridden by chiefs or medicine men, traditional and spiritual leaders.

To qualify as a War Horse, a horse must have one blue eye with liner around it and a shield on their chest. This blue eye, known as a Sky Eye in Indian mythology, has a significant meaning.

The Sky Eye is believed to carry the spirits of the Chief and Medicine Man to their gods if they die in battle. This explains why Coconut is so special and unique.
