When Scott and Jackie Nelson first laid eyes on Coconut, a horse born in Melbourne, Florida, they were astounded by her extraordinary appearance.

Coconut has captivated over three million people with her distinct beauty, which was first documented when she was just two days old, allowing the world to witness her uniqueness.

By the time she was two years old, the Nelsons, who own and operate a ranch called Down Under Colour, decided to introduce Coconut to the outside world through video for the very first time.

Coconut is not just any horse; she’s known as a War Horse, a title that comes with a rich cultural and spiritual significance. According to a YouTube description, Coconut’s markings are exceptionally rare. In Native American tradition, such a horse would have been ridden by a chief or medicine man, who are deeply respected as traditional and spiritual leaders.

To be considered a true War Horse, a horse must possess a blue eye with a liner around it and a shield-like marking on its chest. This blue eye is often referred to as the Sky Eye in Native American mythology. The belief is that if a chief or medicine man falls in battle, the Sky Eye will guide their spirit to the gods, making the horse an essential companion in their spiritual journey. Coconut’s unique features make her an extraordinary representation of this tradition.
