When you are born to love horses...

This is a video if a man in hospice care who received a visit from a horse.  Not his horse, just a horse.  Look at his face lighting up.  This is what it means to love horses.

Yep, and it's a hopeless addiction, too. 

I've loved horses (particularly wild horses) my entire life. My mom (who is NOT a horse lover) said I was horse crazy from the time I was a baby. When I was 2, I was put on one of my uncle's ranch horses, fell off and was kicked in the forehead. My mom says that was probably what damaged my brain and caused me to be horse crazy. I think maybe I was just "imprinted".

Me too. (Loving horses, not getting kicked!) As was my grandfather.

That video was so touching here to stay, oh the joy on that gentlemans face🕊 Thanks for the smile & tear.😢

If being horse crazy is a vice, I'm ok with that. There are a lot of worse things to be!

Well, I had to pause that midway through to go and grab a tissue...  So heartwarming...  and the look of utter happiness and joy on that gentlemans face was so uplifting and touching... Horses are very special indeed... I guess, really all of our animal friends are...  Thanks for sharing...

Wonderful, though bitter-sweet, video. That look on his face...that says it all.

After your descriptions, I decided I wouldn't look at the video, big wimp that I am.

I am one born to love horses. Boy! Am I one born to love horses.

I was on a horse as early as i could find a stump to crawl on. raised 3 daughters--along with my horses, never a day went by that i didnt find time to ride. fast forward years--my son was 10, he went riding with my daughter one day, and she said she wished mom was there. she almost felloff when he told her he though mom was afraid of horse !! by the time he came along, life had gotten in the way

I love that video, what joy that horse brought to that man. Only three days before he passed. How blessed he was. I was raised being around thoroughbred race horses. My father owned a few in his lifetime. He was also their trainer and started the raises with his bugle. That was a l long time ago. It was so exciting to go to the track and pet all the horses, with pockets full of carrots. I did ride for a long time, until I took a major fall off of a horse I trusted. I did get back on, but was frightened from that fall. I tried many years later and the horse took off in a gallop. That ended my riding days. I do love horses though🐴
