Horses are by nature very different from other animals, and their behaviors are much close to that of humans than one would think. They are social creatures and always seek attachment, just like us.
Photo showing a grieving horse in Brazil that smelt his late owner’s casket and emotionally hugged it before breaking down in anguish went viral
Horses are a lot like dogs
Or couldn’t understand why the mean relatives wouldn’t let his owner out of the box.
Would the owner really have smelled like he did when he was alive?
He can’t smell at all..he’s dead.
Oh Wilburrrrr.
Yes they are. I had an appaloosa that hugged me by putting his head over my shoulder and squeezing me against his chest.

Oh, to be saddled with such grief.
The horse shown is an identical twin to a horse my wife, and I had to put down due old age, and unable to stand anymore November 2017. One of the most loving horses of all we have had over the years. She was Andalusian crossed with draft. Ginger was her name while she was on this Earth, and she was pure love. She would put her huge head over my shoulder, and press against me in a hug. She loved to have hugs, be held, touched. A very special horse. Unlike any of our others.
Needless to say when we clicked on the article, and saw the picture of this horse of topic we came totally unglued.
Please, she’s cute as pie.
I lost my best friend, my once in a lifetime horse, 7 years ago, after 11 years together. He had a sudden death while in apparent robust health ( stroke/blood clot most likely) which made it very difficult to accept. Was buried by noon that horrible day. Honestly, I’ve never been as happy as he made me ever again. Losing him with no warning broke my heart. Every horse owner I know has that one special horse during the many years they have horses. I’ve had 10 horses over the years.
I am in tears remembering my special horse as well.
( see previous post)
I see what you did there.
Now stop horsing around.
Id boink her silly
