Horse Gives Birth to Newborn Foal and the Love Is Totally Immediate
A video online might just make you believe in love at first sight. One woman was totally smitten with the newborn Friesian foal her horse birthed. And seeing the woman swoon after the baby horse's birth has people in the comments section so emotional.
Birth can really touch a person, even if it's the birth of an adorable newborn horse.
The woman just had to share the foal's first few moments of life. It hadn't even been cleaned yet, but the little one was just too cute.
"Welcome! Welcome to the world, Beautiful," she said to the baby Friesian in the footage. "Love you. I love you. You're not even dry and I love you," she gushed.

The foal looked so stunned to be on the outside. It was taking it all in.
'I am totally in love," its owner added in the caption. In a second video the woman shared, she explained that she is a foal handler. She also finally got to get up close and personal with the baby horse too.
The animal lover explained that she gets to have special moments like these pretty frequently.
"So in love with this beautiful filly," she explained in the caption. "As a foal handler, I get to fall in love every spring. I have four to take care of and train this year. The most I ever had was 15 one summer," she added.
In another video she even shared the sweet filly's first steps. Go little one go!
People in the comments section were so in love with the filly, whom they've since named Bling. "[It] amazes me how big baby horses are when [they're] born," wrote one person. "Just came into the world, looking around like 'what is all this?' not even knowing how good life is about to be," another commenter pointed out. "It’s crazy how just a few hours ago, that baby had no clue what the world was like," another commenter agreed. "Oh my God I’m sure it took everything in you to not go and hug that beautiful foal," one woman wrote.
Differences Between Foals, Fillies, and Colts
Foals, fillies, colts...what do all these words mean? There are many terms to categorize horses based on age and gender. It's pretty simple once you get a hand of the different terms. All baby horses are called foals. Boy babies are known as colts and girl babies are known as fillies. Pretty simple right?
Eventually these foals will grow up to be adult horses. But in the meantime both fillies and colts are pretty darn cute.
