Scott and Jackie Nelson were shocked to learn that Coconut the horse was a native of Melbourne, Florida when they first met her.
Her uniqueness has been admired by over three million people, and the reason for this is that her beauty had to be captured on camera when she was just two days old to be seen by the world.
The pair, who breed horses and operate a ranch called Down Under Color, took her outside for the first time on video when she was two years old.
A YouTube description claims that coconut has extremely rare markings and is also known as a war horse. This horse, which was highly respected in Native American culture, would be ridden by the chief, also known as the medicine man, a traditional and spiritual leader.
To be considered a war horse, they have to have a shield on their chest and one blue eye with a liner around it.
This eye is called the Sky Eye in Indian mythology. If the Chief and Medicine Man are killed in battle, this one blue-sky eye will carry their spirits to their gods. That emphasizes her exceptional qualities. Watch the video below to see Coconut.
Please tell this story if the beauty of this rare foal also captured your attention.
