My 2-year-old daughter loved playing with the neighbors’ horse and could spend hours with it – but one day we found out something terrible about this horse 😱😱
My daughter was only two years old when she first became fascinated. Our neighbors kept a real horse at their home. For a little girl, it was like a miracle: she could spend hours next to this big, calm animal.
She hugged its neck, pressed her cheek against the soft mane, and patted its warm back with her tiny hands. Sometimes they played together in the hay, and it even happened that my daughter fell asleep right there in the straw, beside the horse – as if it were her best friend.
We laughed while watching them, but deep inside we sometimes worried — after all, a horse is a large animal. Yet from the very first meeting it was clear: the horse was incredibly intelligent and gentle, almost as if it understood that it had a child before it, one who needed special tenderness.
This went on for months. Our daughter became more and more attached to the horse, and the neighbor’s beloved pet returned her affection. But one day, our neighbor knocked on our door. He looked unusually serious.
— “We need to talk,” he said as soon as he came in.
— “Did something happen? Did my daughter do something wrong?” I asked anxiously.
— “No,” he shook his head. “But this is about your daughter. You must absolutely take her to a doctor.”
My heart tightened.
— “Why? Is something wrong?”
And then I learned something terrible 😨😱 Continued in the first comment 👇👇
