This chestnut foal is like two horses in one. Born at Flying Hall riding school in North Yorkshire, England, �Da Vinci� has a patch near his mane that looks like the silhouette of another horse. The horse and the�unusual marking�came as a surprise to owner Wendy Bulmer.

�I bought his mother at a sale and didn�t know she was�[pregnant] so that was a bit of a surprise,� she told the Daily Mail. �Chestnut horses have irregular patches but they don�t normally make something as recognizable.�

Da Vinci was so named because of his artistic marking, and he also has a white heart shape on his bottom. The seven-week-old foal is friendly and much loved by Bulmer�s children.
