      @@michaelshishido8151 A beautiful story, with such a happy ending. I wish I had had one of these beautiful animals, I was into Pure bred Arabs, beautiful, but very hot, I was also into driving, having started when I was evacuated during WW2, and carried on until the late 80's They are so lovely for both sports, I wish I had my life over again, I should certainly have had this beautiful breed.

He had no idea what he was able to do! “Wowwee, look at me!” Glad there is more than one colt this year so that they can play together when they get older. Thank you so much, Yvonne.

      I think it’s because Uniek understands that she has been gifted this foal after losing her own, and that she has been trusted enough to mother him. Horses are extremely emotionally intelligent animals. The little one also knew that this wasn’t his mother when he first arrived, but his instinct was to nurse..I’m sure by now he was completely forgotten that anyone other than the Queen was his Mum..the bond between them is just beautiful to see.

      @@kookietherapy9398 She'll accept it when he's old enough. Seriously, it's adorable how they've taken to each other - she's truly accepted him as her own, and vice versa. But don't ruin it by projecting human emotions too much on animals. It's natural for young males to leave the herd to create their own when they're old enough. Once the colt is old enough to be independent, she won't dote on him so much, or be heartbroken when he leaves.
      Watch a mother dog doting on her newborn puppies. Keeping them close, nursing and licking them, utterly devoted. But by 6-8 weeks, she's usually worn out, annoyed when they try to nurse, sick of being nipped, chewed on and jumped on, and ready for them to be grown!
      It's a part of nature for young (in most species) to leave their parents when they're old enough to begin their own lives. It's natural for them to be so close and nurturing with a newborn (although unusual here since she adopted him) then to gradually reduce that close attention and encourage independence in their young, even drive them away from home in some species when old enough (lions do this). Don't ignore natural processes and project heartbreak onto animals for your sentimentality. That's unfair to the people and the horses involved here.

      @@deedrole5296 most humans are that way as heartbroken said. Those who have power and influences over the masses (media, entertainment/sports industries, politicians, tech world, corporate institutions) and the out of touch elites are that way. Hence - they project what they are onto others with their long and accusatory fingers. But these horses are a pleasure to watch.
