Adorable baby miniature horse joyfully chases a man like a puppy
Horses are majestic and strong creatures that’s why they are chosen to carry mighty soldiers and royal people. Their big build also makes them perfect for transporting goods, people, and a whole bunch more.
To put it simply, horses are all about strength and beauty.
However, if you are someone who spent most of your life in a busy city, it must be your first time knowing about miniature horses.
Small but terrible!
Just like an average-sized horse, miniature horses are also packed with strong muscles. According to Horse Rookie, “Similar to their larger counterparts, mini horses can safely carry around 20% of their total body weight. As an average mini weighs between 250 and 350 pounds, they could safely carry between 50 and 70 pounds.”
“A miniature horse is a breed or type of horse characterised by its small size. Usually it has been bred to display in miniature the physical characteristics of a full-sized horse, but to be little over 100 cm (40 in) in height, or even less. Although such horses have the appearance of small horses, they are genetically much more similar to pony breeds such as the Shetland,” added by Wikipedia. “…They are commonly kept as companion animals. Some are trained as service animals, and others for sporting activities such as driving and other competitive horse show events.”
They seem to be really perfect for being companion animals and this video will prove it.
A baby miniature horse or a puppy, you choose.
In a video shared by a YouTube channel called Animal Guy, a young and innocent miniature horse totally forgets that he’s not a puppy. The 1:47-long video shows a baby miniature horse playing with a man inside a fenced area inside a farm field.
There, the man (named Sterling as heard in the video) decided to play what seemed to be the game tag against the miniature horse who happened to be just 3 days old. The man ran back and forth across the field and the baby miniature horse just followed him in whichever direction.
What’s amazing about the video is the little creature’s attitude throughout the video. It was his innocence and energy that made the video adorable. His tail was also wagging non-stop and he almost looked like an overjoyed puppy.
The baby horse also loved it whenever the man pets him, a very distinguishable characteristic of a dog. Although the man made sure he was extra careful since the mama miniature horse was just nearby watching them.
The less than two-minute video went viral and amassed over 12.6 million views.
Is it too much for such a short video? I guess most of you would agree with me if I’d say it deserves such a huge number of views. In this world full of negativity, we badly need sources of happiness and joy that could be found in videos like this.
Particularly today when mental health is becoming a serious topic, you’d never know if someone is going through something. A simple smile and good vibes could go a long way for someone who is fighting their own battles alone.
It looks like this viewer agrees with me, “Such a lovely video. It’s good to see something beautiful and cheering for a change. This little horse running reminds me of my Pommies when they were puppies, how they pattered along with their tiny paws. Hope this foal grows into a mighty horse.”
