Horse breeders Scott and Jackie Nelson are from Melbourne, Florida. Their American Painthorse piebald horses are in high demand.
They are Down Under Color Ranch’s owners. Many of their critters have won awards and medals in prior tournaments and contests.
The two had been interested in horse breeding for a while, but they were recently surprised when they saw a newborn filly.
Coconut was the colt’s name. The mare Coconut is particularly distinctive. Horses with such an unusual hue are referred to as “pintos.”
Coconut is a truly special horse foal.
People formerly thought horses with such a distinctive hue had magical abilities. These beasts were revered by Native Americans, who gave them the moniker “battle horses.”
According to the International Horse Museum, a horse may only be called a war horse if it is a certain (and unusual) color.
For this, Pinto must be white, but he also needs a tiny “cap” on top of his head to cover the animal’s ears in part.
These “headdresses” were known as “medicine hats” by the Native Americans. A horse with particular extra traits may bring in even more money.
Blue eyes are an essential for a battle horse. Native American mythology holds that the precise horse’s blue eye helps the healer who died in battle cross over to the domain of the gods.
War horses were commonly endowed with magical talents.
According to Native Americans, owning a war horse inside a tribe helped it avoid many dangers.
Native Americans regularly stole these horses from the tribes in the area. After all, as was previously said, the mere presence of such an animal in the neighborhood was fortunate.
War horses were therefore strictly guarded.
Jackie and Scott were really astonished to discover that the baby Coconut is a real war horse. They decided to capture this great event on camera in order to share it with the entire world for that reason.
