Da Vinci was a surprise to Wendy Bulmer, who runs the riding school.

"I bought his mother at a sale and didn't know she was in foal [pregnant] so that was a bit of a surprise," Bulmer said. "I wasn't very happy at first, but he is so friendly and the kids love him."

Da Vinci also reportedly has a white heart shape on his bottom, too.
