Can't get your neigh-bour off your back? Spare a thought for Da Vinci, the foal born with a patch by his mane that looks like ANOTHER horse
- Chestnut foal has a unique marking which runs up his left flank and neck
- Pattern is such a work of art, his owners named him Da Vinci (aka Vinny)
- Born in May at Fyling Hall riding school at Robin Hood's Bay, North Yorks
- He also has a white heart shape on his bottom (not pictured below...)
It looks like an optical illusion but this chestnut foal was born with his own perfect white shadow.
The unique marking is the profile of another horse which runs up his left flank and neck.
It then merges seamlessly from white to black into his mane.

Ever get the feeling you're being foal-lowed? This chestnut horse was born with his own perfect white shadow
You'd think it would be a bit of a 'white-mare' - but it's not so bad as I like the attention: The pattern is such a work of art, the foal's owners have called him Da Vinci, or Vinny for short
The pattern is such a work of art that the foal's owners have called him Da Vinci, or Vinny for short.
He was born at the start of May at Fyling Hall riding school at Robin Hood's Bay, North Yorkshire.
Wendy Bulmer, who runs the riding school, said: 'I bought his mother at a sale and didn't know she was in foal [pregnant] so that was a bit of a surprise.
'I wasn't very happy at first but he is so friendly and the kids love him.
'The chestnut horses have irregular patches but they don't normally make something as recognisable.
'He's even got a little white heart shape on his bottom as well.'
