Today we are going to show you one of the oldest horse videos uploaded on the internet. It was recorded and uploaded on the YouTube platform more than 13 years ago by the horse owner, a user named Robin Cornelius. So far, the video has become very popular and has been watched by more than 92 million viewers, making it one of the most-watched animal videos ever.
Although the quality of the video is not very good, we are still able to spot Gaylord, an old horse who looks like he is the biggest scratch lover out there. His owner wrote that his Horse, called shortly “Gay” gets very itchy because he is very old and is not able to reach the itchy bits by himself.
He needs help to scratch those itchy bits and his owners make sure to be there for him, by giving him scratches very often. As you can see, he makes some very funny faces when he receives a scratch. His full name was Gaylord which was part of his full registered racing name, as he was a racehorse, unfortunately not a successful one.
We must add that he was frequently examined by the vet and was in very good condition for his age. As we can see he looks very old and his owner confirms this fact by saying that at the time of the video he was 35 years old. Sadly, Gaylord is no longer with his loved ones, but his owners made sure that he lived a happy life.
