Horses are a lot like dogs

Or couldn’t understand why the mean relatives wouldn’t let his owner out of the box.

[Trumplican]

Would the owner really have smelled like he did when he was alive?

Oh Wilburrrrr.

Wonder how this one will feel when Bernie Sanders dies?

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.

This is a nice story, from January 2017.

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.

All of us that love animals completely understand this sad event.

About 5 years ago our older horse(PB) ran out of the barn as usual. He fell down and didn't get up. At first we thought he was just going to roll around like he usually does. He didn't. His younger "step- brother" ( Bentley) was out in the field and ran to see what was wrong. He was upset. He started to lick PB's hip. When that didn't work , he grabbed PB's tail and tried to pull PB up. I lost it, then. Sobbed.

That's why I say sometimes animals are more caring than some people.

A horse named Boston was the best. I understood him and he understood me.

Can someone post a link to the video that WORKS?

Horses have a very strong sense of smell

That horse knew his owners corpse was in there same as a dog would

Horses are kind of like cats too

They can be aloof

My Hanoverian loves me.....very affectionate and he’s a monster size wise...a fine majestic bay

My chestnut thoroughbred if aggravated would double back kick me if I took his alfalfa half bale from him

He suffers fools none...but fast as the wind

They are like dogs to me

Beautiful post. When I was growing up I had a pony who was so sweet. Sometimes I would read in the sun sitting with her in the field. She would be laying down and I would be leaning up against her while sitting next to her. Loved her.

Unfortunately, she was poisoned by someone dumping chemicals in the creek she drank out of. I don't know if they ever found out who did it.
