Scott and Jackie Nelson, horse breeders in Melbourne, Florida, were amazed when Coconut, a unique addition to their ranch, was born. Sharing her beauty on YouTube, the video has attracted over 3 million viewers.
At just two years old, Coconut, showcased in a YouTube video by the couple’s ranch, Down Under Colour, boasts extremely rare markings that classify her as a War Horse. In Native American culture, these horses were deemed sacred, reserved for chiefs or medicine men, prominent spiritual leaders.
A distinctive feature required for War Horses is a shield on their chest and one blue eye with liner around it. The couple explained in the YouTube description that the blue eye, known as a Sky Eye in Indian Mythology, holds significance. If the chief or medicine man falls in battle, the horse’s single blue sky eye carries their spirits to the Gods.
Coconut’s captivating appearance aligns with the traditional beliefs surrounding War Horses. The couple highlighted the rarity of such markings and the cultural importance tied to her unique features. With Coconut’s story spreading online, the horse’s extraordinary combination of markings has captivated viewers worldwide, making her a symbol of rarity and cultural significance.
