A wild horse thanks his friend’s savior in a peculiar way.
You may have heard of wild horses running through the plains in some countries.
The wild horses in Romania are very similar to their North American cousins in this way.
Unlike their North American cousins however, the people used metal chains to tie around the horses’ legs to prevent them from running away. But these metal chains are often dangerous to these horses as they will cause deep cuts on their legs.
For one wild horse, he was unlucky and could not move as the chains were tied to his legs. Even his herd could not help him, but his savior soon came to his rescue.
A veterinarian with Four Paws International named Ovidiu Rosu came across the herd and immediately decided to help him.
When the chained-up horse saw the veterinarian approaching, he tried to run away from him as he did not trust humans. Rosu saw his reaction and approached the horse slowly to show that he is here to help him.
The horse eventually stopped struggling against the chains and allowed Rosu to cut off the chains tying his front legs up. When Rosu had successfully freed the horse, another horse in his herd approached him and touched his nose to Rosu’s in gratitude.
Four Paws International have been helping the wild horses of Danube Delta in Romania for many years. They prevented the method of killing the wild horses to control the population and instead, provided contraceptives for the mares to reduce the birth rates.
Over the years, Four Paws International have vaccinated many mares and also helped to free chained-up horses like this one.
