Well, here’s an example that horses would do anything for another horse. As we can see…
What do you think? Will this foal become a professional dressage horse when he will grow up? As we can see, he looks very graceful already, moving confidently, with his head up and his posture straight. I’m sure he would be great for dressage shows.
