Here’s a question for everyone who has watched Colton and Maple grow up together…
Some people believe animals can form bonds that are just as deep as human friendships. Others think we sometimes give animals more human emotions than they actually have.
Where do you stand?
Do you believe Maple truly sees Colton as a special companion, or do you think we’re simply interpreting her behavior through human emotions?
Let’s hear both sides. 👇

Horses not only have pure souls but they know a pure soul when they see one

I love seeing these 2 together. I miss seeing their videos but respect the mom's decision to take Kolton off of social media.

She is your dream horse
She loves your child and will protect him
He'll always be safe with her around
So you did get your dream horse
Become family

This would make a beautiful children’s book!

The boy is living a magical childhood. He will remember this forever.

She is teaching him how to be gentle and loving. What a beautiful picture, a boy and his horse. ❤

These two souls knew each other in another time and place. Not a doubt in my mind. Beautiful. ❤❤

Colton is a natural horse whisperer.

Maple absolutely knows Colton is your foal, & has formed a bond based on her bond with you.  The foals are always especially loved & cared for…

So sweet. Kids who grow up around animals and pets learn responsibility, empathy, and unconditional love.

Some horses are smarter than others, this one has very intelligent eyes—it shines right out of her. She knows her people, she knows that this boy has the finest nature.

My husband was on a business trip.  While away we brought home a chihuahua puppy.  My husband like big dogs, he walked in the door, she ran over fell at his feet and that was that.  They were inseparable.

This is the best happiest story I have read or watched in a long time! Thank you for posting it! We need a little bit more joy in this world, and this story brings it for sure!

Horses are SOOO amazingly gentle with little kids. It's as if they KNOW they have to step and move carefully around them. When a horse 🐴 chooses a kid - well - THAT is absolute MAGIC! ❤❤

I love to see your son call, “May May”.  It’s so sweet.

Mares will do absolutely anything for their favorite human! Being chosen by a mare is so special.

So sweet!Even the dog looked so happy to see Maple.❤😊❤

I've been watching your videos since I saw the first one with Colton as a toddler calling "MayMay".  Heartwarming then and heartwarming now.

What a beautiful life you are providing for your child and your animal I wish the best for you and your family.
