Scott and Jackie Nelson own Down Under Colour Ranch in Florida where they raise Australian and American paint horses. All of their horses and beautiful and special but none as rare as the war horse Medicine Hat filly one mama gave birth to on the ranch.
Even the other horses crowded around to stare and watch in awe as she ran across the area! Coconut is an extremely rare Medicine Hat horse (mainly white body with colored markings on ears and head). Many Native American tribes revered medicine hat horses, keeping them only for chiefs and medicine men.
“They must have a shield on their chest and shield-like markings on their flanks.” And they can only have one blue eye with eyeliner surrounding it.This eye in Indian Mythology is called a Sky Eye. If the Chief or Medicine Man dies in battle then this one blue sky eye will carry their spirits to their Gods,” the owners explained on YouTube.
Watch two-day-old Coconut run and play in all of her true beauty in the video below. She’s one special horse that deserves to be seen by all!
