Have you ever seen markings on animals that resemble them? Here’s one chestnut foal born with the most perfect white silhouette on his back—it made him look like a horse within another horse.
The handsome foal’s unusual white horse-shaped marking runs from his left front leg and up to his mane. The marking on his mane is such a beautiful work of art that he was given a fitting name—Da Vinci.
Called Vinny for short, this foal was born on May 27, 2015, at the Fyling Hall School’s stables in North Yorkshire, United Kingdom.
Bulmer had no idea that Katie was pregnant until after winter when she noticed the mare was rather fat. And on Wednesday, May 27, 2015, Katie finally gave birth to a gorgeous foal.
“The chestnut horses have irregular patches but they don’t normally make something as recognizable,” she said. ”He’s even got a little white heart shape on his bottom as well.”
It goes without saying but Da Vinci has become famous because of his one-of-a-kind markings.
On top of that, the friendly foal likes to interact with school children. With Da Vinci around, the children have “a fantastic opportunity” to learn all about a foal and a mare, and have firsthand experience in handling and caring for young horses.
“The children have been very excited and come to visit and play with him at every possible opportunity. This is good for them and also good for the foal as it is making him into a very kind and sociable animal,” Bulmer said.
Da Vinci’s white birthmark looks truly majestic. We wonder whether the other horses in the stables get jealous of him!
