Horses have always gravitated towards me and taken care of me. After many decades I recently went riding. They said “keep your hands away from Dolly’s face, she doesn’t like it and she bites everyone.” Dolly smelled me. I reached out my hands. The stable staff called out, “oh no, be careful!” Dolly placed her muzzle in my hands then lowered her eyes, and bent her head towards me. They were shocked! 😳 Dolly had never done that before. I said “She’s sweet. She misses what she used to do”. 2 things; 1. Dolly is a retired mountain rescue horse. She misses it. And 2. I found out last year at the age of 63 that I’m autistic. Thank you for sharing this beautiful story with us. I quite love it. ❤🥰

What would the world be like if we understood and respected the animal world, I love this kind of stories, they’re making my day happier.

What a heart, warming story. Such a gentle, kind soul.

Dogs eat grass when their tummy is upset. It s like medicine. To them. 😊

He looks so much like my beloved mare I had when I was a teenager. We had so much fun together. I loved her very much. Enjoy your sweet Rudnik. Have a great day everyone !

I've seen enough to know that there is a certain magic between girls and horses, it's unique to them. There's a certain frequency they seem to be on that eludes the rest of us. I've noticed it time and time again. it's magical and such a beautiful thing to watch. so thank you Rudy for being so awesome!!! 💪❤😊

Horses are amazing intuitive creatures. I wish all horses had the opportunity to be loved and cared for and would never know fear and mistrust of humans.

He is So Beautiful!

What an endearing story, thank you for sharing. The love you have for Rudnick is really awesome, I just stumbled upon your post and I really enjoy it.

A beautiful story. Rudnik’s such a good horse! 👍🏼

I think I fell in love with Rudnik when you told us of his early 😔 sad story being taken from his mom. But here came a sweet beautiful soul and they met each other and said, my human 🥰🥰 And she said, my horse 🥰🥰😘 it still makes me tear up thinking of his early days before you came in and took him home. 🏠 I also love you too, and your fiancé and baby girl to come 💙🇺🇸🥰from an old grandma in the states 🇺🇸💙🇨🇦🍁

I love this story. More please!😄😁😍

In my 54 years of life, if I have learned one thing, it is that it is the horse and not "man's best friend" that are the most empathetic non human species. I am not at all surprised that Rudnik responded as he did.

Reminds of a horse "Eagle" my late wife rescued. He could be a handful with adults but was always gentle with children. It was amazing to watch!

Just like Ridnik to Delight my Heart on Monday🐎❤💯‼️Happiness this June Day: Sweetness is upon Us😁😇‼️ deb in RudnikSugarTownz, SC🐴 06/03/2024🌻🥕

Love from Me to You and Rudnik: Happy June😁😇‼️

Great example of the soul every living creature is born with. I love the wild and have encountered many creatures that if you respect to them they will respect you also.

Thank you 👏

He is beautiful!❤

I would have liked to understand the story here, but the white text on the pale grey background is close to impossible to read.

The universe does strange things on purpose and I guess it knew you and Rudnik needed each other for some reason or another.

I have fallen head over heels in love with your Rudnik. And I am so glad that you are showing him to others. There are some who respect and love horses and there are some that love them-but they know not a thing of how to care or "read" them. There are many who take many rescues only to leave them be and they suffer for lack of food and water. So I am always happy to see a horse family who truly loves. Horses are very intuitive. Some can read not to trust someone but will even show them respect and not hurt them although they know the human could hurt them. I don't know of course, but from what little I have read of Rudnik, I think you bring out the foul in him. That loving curiousity that they can have when by their mommas as she teaches them. What he lacked and missed in his momma, he is feeling with you-I think. Of course I don't know. You know. I am just wondering. Thanks for sharing him. He certainly loves you.

My horse that always gave me a hard time and argued about everything was incredibly gentle with my three year old, I would put her up on him and he would literally tiptoe around me in the pen, when she wanted to trot he would pin his ears and give me the side eye, I could almost hear him thinking "shes gonna fall you dumb human" I recall trying to teach her to use the reins to signal him to stop, unfortunately he had a bigger vocabulary than she did and always stopped before she could signal him. She would brush him from his knees down and ask him to pick up his hooves and try to clean them, I always had to finish them, but he would try so hard to please her.

Awesome! Of course...ALL animals have a higher intelligence than humans! Of course they do!🐎🐴

When I was about 4, we went to a “ranch” for vacation. When choosing your horse, the one my dad chose was “unridable” and dangerous. My dad still chose him. My dad went over, put the saddle on, got up on him and began to ride. No one had ever done that before.

Growing up on a ranch I saw many horses that were basically babysitters, an adult could get them to do anything and go anywhere but put a child on them and they would refuse anything they seemed to view as dangerous to the child, no big creek crossings, no steep hills etc.

What little girl? There were only 2 dogs approaching the horse.

She looks very mature for 7 are you just making itup.

Is it perhaps possible that they were together in a previous life?

I was waiting to see a human child. Didn't realize you meant the dogs. So much of animal communication is via body language, so they'll usually pick up on it as it presents itself, unless there's a past problem. He has probably already Id'ed the dogs from their scent on you, He was already acquainted with them, and was just meeting 2 more members of your herd.

My mistake I apologize

The video wes awesome but couldn't read the white on white words. Im sorry

I wish I could read the text on the screen but all that white just bleeds the words out. It's unfortunate.

White writing on a white sky, not so good. Sorry

Where’s the little girl??

You call the dog a little girl?!?

It’s not a girl it’s a dog

That’s not a little girl that’s a woman.
