Horse Hears Banjo For The First Time And Bobs His Head Along With The Music (PART 1)
Samson is my once-wild mustang that I adopted. One day I was practicing my banjo and thought, "I ought to go play for Samson. I bet he'd really like it!" So I go down to the barn and start playing for him for the first time. He turned towards me, walked up to me and listened intently. As he decided he liked it, he started bobbing his head along with the music! What he did after this is even more wild! He started playing it with his lip! You'll have to check out my channel to watch part 2!

Once-Wild Mustang Plays Banjo With His Lip
People that get to keep a pet of a few should consider themselves lucky. First off all, no idle hands there. Pets are a handful, they need constant grooming and feeding and general taking care of. All of that aside, animals are capable of showering their owners with the deepest, most pure and sincere form of love that ever existed.
No matter if they are dogs, cats (yes, even cats!), rodents, birds or horses, when an animal feels loved, respected and secure around their human companions, they are able to love them unconditionally for the rest of their existence. Not to mention their capabilities to teach us a things or two in life. No, we are not talking about stuff like compassion, fair play, and personal space. Sometimes, our pets can teach us some pretty incredible stuff. Like, how to properly strum the strings on a banjo!
Heidi Rosanne Queen is the proud owner of a gorgeous Mustang named Samson. He is quite a handsome fella and very lovable too. You would think that thehorsewould like nothing more than to run all day, munch on his carrots and stay still while his owner is grooming him. But when one day she visited him with the intent of entertaining him, he took things in his own hands. Or should we say, his mouth. It seems that there is more than meets the eye when it comes to this raven-haired, regal-looking guy.
“This is my Twin Peaks mustang, Samson! I went to play some music for him because I thought he would like it and it would brighten his day,” Heidi wrote. “He started bobbing his head and then reached over to teach me a lesson or two! He’s got both the pickin’ and the grinnin’ in the bag.”
“I wanted to take my banjo down to the barn and play for Samson. I figured he would like it and he sure did! This was actually the first time he ever saw or heard a banjo. He started bobbing his head while I played then he reaches over and starts playing it himself with his lip!”
Suffice it to say, Heidi was just as surprised as we are when she noticed her big, handsome horse was trying to play some of his own tunes on the instrument. What is even more surprising is that the horse seems to know what he is doing. And it sounds pretty good too.
Samson was born feral at the Twin Peaks Herd Management Area of California. "The night I met him, he clung to my side and stayed right next to me," Heidi said in an interview. "Our bond was instant." Sounds like a true love story.

Horse literally smiles when introduced to puppy
Samson is a once-wild mustang. He surprises his caretaker every day at how gentle he can be, and this is one of those times. His caretaker let him meet a puppy up close and personal and he let out the biggest grin that had the rest of us smiling from ear to ear as well!

Wild Mustang And Dog Play With Each Other
My mustang, Samson, was gathered from the Twin Peaks HMA and I adopted him. He and my cowdog, Bear have a silly relationship. They get salty with each other more than anything but they have their days where they set aside their differences and play hard with each other!

Dog's Priceless Reaction To Best Pal Asking If He's Ready To Eat
I had all the dogs out and it was close to feeding time. When I asked him of he was ready to eat he got so excited and cut me off with, "Huh?!" before I could finish the question and I had to repeat it. This is Bear, my old man cowdog. He's been by my side for the last 12 years through EVERYTHING. He kept me alive. Also featured in this video are our other dogs, Rain and Wrangler. I love our babies.

This is River. She thought she could catch the water dripping from the faucet. She succeeded a few times and proceeded to lick it off her little paw. She looks so perplexed too which just makes it all the more funny!

Dog Who Never Got To Be A Mother Cuddles And Cleans Adopted Kitten
My husband rescued this kitten after it got trapped under a house. It was hanging by the neck from exposed plastic for 2-3 days. We took her in and we are happy to report that our little Kitten, Half Hangit Maggie Dickson (look up the woman's historical story, this is who she is named after) is strong and has a full belly and all the love she can stand. My service dog, Rain, came to me already spade so she never got the chance to be a mama. Well, she has taken this baby as her own just as she did with our other cat. They are in love with each other and it's adorable. They play, cuddle, groom each other, nap together, etc.

Cat Is Concerned With Baby Chick Who Hurt It's Neck
One of my chicks was cold and lifeless with an abnormal neck in her coop after a big storm. Being an EMT, I rushed her inside, crafted a C collar out of a toilet paper roll, gauze and tape and used a hair dryer to warm her while I stimulated breathing by rubbing on her. It actually worked! She came back and with some TLC I'm happy to report she's a fully functioning adult today. That day, however, our cat, who is so incredibly gentle (especially with babies) was very concerned and tried to give comfort. She had an "I don't know what to do with my hands" moment in there too. 😂

Corgi Hates Being Asked About The Size Of His Behind
He's got such a big personality as do the rest of our animals here at our little homestead. He's okay if we ask him about his "tiny hiney" but he doesn't like when we ask him about if he has a "fat a$$".

Speaking of love stories, another horse seems to have also found a connection with an instrument - a digital piano. Sapphire the horse has an extremelysurprising talent. She is a genuine virtuoso when it comes to playing the keyboard. And it doesn’t matter AT ALL that she doesn’t have any hands or fingers! She can still play a lovely sonata.
