Mom captures heartwarming moment little son plays with cute foal

A little boy and a young foal met for the first time and instantly took a liking towards each other, running around and hugging in this adorable video.

According to Horse Spirit, a five-year-old boy and his mom went to the family stable where the mother introduced her son to the new foal. The foal was born last winter but the two had never met.

The mother said that she never expected the two to click so easily and become best friends. She also reportedly said:

"Ever since that day they have become more and more curious about one another."

Then, the boy starts running and the foal joins him, frolicking around in the open space. The cuteness level of the two playing together is off the charts.

In August 2018, a motorist found a young foal who had gotten separated from his mother and was now stuck on the highway. The man relentlessly pursued the baby horse until he could get it over the barrier to the open field where his mother awaited.

A less fortunate story occurred earlier this month. It involved a white horse being covered in paint by the students of the Equestrian Society's Riding School in Brazil.

A teacher suggested that the students pursue the exercise that led to outrage from animal rights activists and a visit from the prosecutors for the Brazilian Institute of Environment.
