The horse, Blaze, seems to enjoy having the baby around and even tries to keep her entertained by nudging her with his nose. It’s amazing how animals can have such a calming influence on babies – proving that they really are therapeutic!
Stacey and Ruby were feeding the horses carrots from a bag when one of the animals reached its head out to nuzzle them. They both giggled with delight at the contact, proving that there is nothing quite like bonding with an animal for some good old-fashioned cuteness.
The little girl’s mother was about to comfort her daughter when she saw the horse nuzzle up against the child and gently touch its nose to hers. It was a heartwarming moment, and it completely stopped the little one from crying. The mother thanked Red for his kindness, and both girls were quickly able to resume their visit.
This story warms my heart! I’m so glad the mother was patient and persisted in getting her daughter close to Red, the cow. It’s amazing how a simple act of kindness can change someone’s outlook on life.
Yes, I absolutely want to bring my children up to respect animals. I believe that having a respectful relationship with animals teaches our children important life lessons about empathy and compassion. It’s wonderful to see how much Ruby enjoys playing with Red, and it makes me happy knowing that they have formed such a strong bond.
