Watch his upper back! (Video)

On a peaceful stretch of land in North Yorkshire, England, a most peculiar horse was born. Wendy Bulmer owns the territory, a beautiful stretch of green that she uses to operate a horse riding school. As you’d imagine, part of Wendy’s job is to find horses suitable for beginners to ride, so she’s always on the lookout for tame, typically older, horses. She acquired a new mare, but after taking her back to the stable, Wendy realized she was pregnant. “We bought his mother at a sale and didn’t know she was in foal [pregnant] so that was a bit of a surprise,” said Wendy. “Instead of getting slimmer she was getting fatter… Then one day, she produced this little fellow.” It wouldn’t be the last surprise Wendy would have coming from her new horse.

She wasn’t very excited about having to care for another horse, but changed her mind when he was born. “I wasn’t very happy at first, but he is so friendly and the kids love him,” Wendy said. The Cheshire horse was born with two unique skewbald. The one that went viral is a massive mark just on his upper back. Many say it’s an optical illusion. Wendy named the horse Da Vinci due to the piece of art that’s located on his back. Chesnut horses color is actually quite special, Horse Genetics explains. Their reddish recognizable shade may vary even depending on the time of the year or the specific horse’s nutrition.

An Unusual Pattern!

According to what Wendy said, chestnut horses like Da Vinci often have white spots on them, but “Chestnut horses have irregular patches, but they don’t normally make something as recognizable [as this].” Da Vinci is obviously quite special: “He’s even got a little white heart shape on his bottom as well,” she kept on explaining. Wendy says that he is growing into a big, fine, adventurous boy. She and her husband realized that keeping Da Vinci, despite him being unplanned, would be a good experience for the children to see a foal grow up from day one. Watch the video and you will understand why Da Vinci’s skewbald has attracted much attention and went viral!

The white skewbald is shaped like horse, appearing as though it is a shadow or silhouette of himself.

Da Vinci is truly everything you could ask for in a horse, butt-heart and all. May he become the envy of every other horse in the stable.
