There are many abused and neglected animals in the world. Some of these poor souls suffer their entire lives in abandonment. Fortunately, some of them are rescued and given a second chance at life. The adorable pony featured in the video below was one of these lucky few. She is called Xanthe and she was rescued by World Horse Welfare. Xanthe has already been placed in a loving forever home. Now she explores the Scottish Highlands together with her loving owner, Ann Raeburn. Ann adopted the precious girl almost 15 years ago from World Horse Welfare. The duo made their very first journey through the hills together in 2009. They covered 50 miles in the multiday trip. Now Xanthe and Ann take multiday trips of over 200 miles together! Xanthe is well trained to pull Ann in a cart, but when she has trouble, she doesn’t hesitate to ask for help either. Ann then gets off and leads the pony up the hill. Check out their beautiful friendship below! What did you think about this? Share your thoughts in the comments section!

Have you ever wished your dog could talk? It’s no secret that most dog owners regularly talk to their dogs…they’re some of our best friends, after all! But imagine a world in which our beloved pups could respond back and keep the conversation going. We all know that dogs can’t talk! But they sure can communicate with humans via physical movements, facial expressions and a variety of intersting sounds. Many of us would love to hear what’s going on inside of our pup’s head, and this dog dad is no different. So instead of wondering, he just decided to create the commentary himself! That’s why this puppy dad decided to film a video of his dog and give the entire thing a hilarious voice-over. It has gone viral and it’s easy to understand why!

Bingwa the cheetah, a 4-year-old St. Louis Zoo resident has just given birth to a record-breaking 8-cub litter. In over 430 litters registered by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, this is the first time a cheetah has given birth to 8 cubs at a zoo. The typical litter size is 3 to 4 cubs. As reported by the zoo, Bingwa has become an ideal mom for her 3 boys and 5 girls.“She has quickly become adept at caring for her very large litter of cubs — grooming, nursing and caring for them attentively,”Steve Bircher, the zoo’s curator of mammals/carnivores stated. Nowadays, Bingwa’s achievement is more significant than ever. The world’s speediest land mammal is running toward extinction. It is believed that just 7,100 of the big cats remain in the wild. The newest cheetah census implies that these predatory fluffs might decrease by an extra 53% over the following 15 years.

Treya’s owner was murdered five years ago leaving the dog to fend for herself. She suffered living on a chain that tightly wrapped around her foot, so she chewed the paw off. She took shelter under a deck where she would remain for five years. Neighbors would feed Treya and provide hay for her to lie on and keep warm, but she needed help in a big way. Stray Rescue of St. Louis was alerted to Treya’s location by firefighters, and that was the moment that would signify her new beginning. Her tail started wagging when she was introduced to a new friend. She was finally starting to come out of her shell. Her heart is now healing and she’s recovering, and it’s great to know she will soon find a forever home

No one can say for sure, what had this little pony named Tobias, but the scars on his body and the sadness in his eyes gave reason to believe that he never knew the warmth of kindness and love. And he had very little chance to find out. Fortunately, now Tobias knows both. Kirk Hance and his family recently moved to a small farm that saved them was the animals a place to roam and play.

Majestic horses are admired by humans for centuries. Some breeds have an immense build and this contributes to their strength and power. Their flowing mane adds some elegance to their appearance. Each breed has its advantages and people learned to use them with regard of their characteristics. Some horses are used for races, others are better for other kinds of work. Sturdy structure of Belgian draft horse is valued much by breeders. Belgian Draft Horse can weigh can reach 2,000 pounds! They are considered to be one of the biggest horses in the world. They also usually have long and thick tails, but as for the horse in this video it has a tail that has been docked. Horse owners do this because the horses often get tangled on their tails. This video is liked by those who admire the horses. Watch how this horse moves and look at its stunning legs. This is the horse with exotic name – Buffalo van’t Zwaluwnest. It features huge and thick body but when it runs it seems that the horse is weightless.

Children are the lights of the world. They are curious but gentle, and they are always ready to play. In a room full of frightening faces, a child’s smile can be a great source of comfort. This dog would have been completely lost if it had not been for her kid companion. Nala is a pit bull who was rescued off of the streets of New Zealand by Christchurch Bull Breed Rescue. Her rescuers had no idea where she had come from or what her story was; they only knew that she needed help. One of the workers, Abbie Van Der Plax, tried everything to get this dog to eat. When she was unsuccessful, she feared that would be the end of the pup’s story. After days of visiting the dog, Abbie had still not seen Nala move an inch. The poor pup was terrified. This already underweight dog was losing more weight fast, and no one could get her to eat. Abbie was at a total loss. “She spend hours trying to coax the distressed dog out from a corner, but [Nala] would just tremble and growl,” the shelter shared with Inside Edition. The worker began to lose all hope that the dog would recover. Then she made a breakthrough. One day Abbie brought her son, Zach, to work with her. The seven-year-old boy made a huge difference – when he was around, Nala acted like a completely different dog. Suddenly she was eager to play, and she even started eating.

If this doesn’t make you smile, you might want to check your pulse. ?

37-year-old Amit Patel lost his sight a couple of years ago. Now his service dog Kika helps him to walk around. The dog is necessary to keep the owner safe out but the man still says that he feels like a scared little boy in the corner. So the person has a condition, when he depends upon the surrounding people. They see the blind man and can help him in this or that way. However, man experienced absolutely different attitude to him. People are not responsive at all. Many people are just indifferent. There were even cases when they mocked Amit or made things even harder for him. The man decided to attach a camera to dog’s harness to let others see it and tell him if the situation is really as serious as it seems to the man. Walking around each day, he recorded secretly what happened around him. When his wife watched it, she was furious and heartbroken. She saw how woman puts her bags on the empty seat not to let the man take a seat next to her, and nobody offered sear to a blind man, how empty taxi cabs passed by without stopping, how man is ignored and so on. The story was shared to attract attention to the problem.

There’s a place in New York, near Saratoga Springs Racetrack, that works miracles with warriors from the race track and our nation’s warriors. It’s called Saratoga War Horse, and it’s a sanctuary. It’s a place where veterans can come to find healing and renew their sense of self-worth. Elizabeth Torres, pictured below, says after her time in the armed services, she became “reclusive, introverted, isolated.” But after working with Whiskey, one of the retired racehorses in the program, she saidshe now feels like she isn’t as empty anymore. “There’s some good left in here,” she says. “There really is!” She feels like Whiskey gave back some of what was taken from her. Founder of Saratoga War Horse, Bob Nevins, himself a veteran knows that, like Ronald Reagan was fond of saying, there is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man. "There's a lot of pain that these veterans have to find a way to let go of, and this seems to be a very effective method,” he says. "The horse responds to that with a tremendous relief, 'oh somebody understands me.' And that's what the veteran is actually saying at the same time, 'oh someone understands me finally,'" said Nevins. "The transformation that takes place, you realize you may have just saved someone's life." Captain C.J. Sealey is another veteran who has found healing at Saratoga War Horse. “I deal with sleep issues and nightmares,” he says. But he has found an antidote in a different kind of mare. He tells people, "Whatever emotions I had, whatever I was feeling, at that time inside the ring, I was able to leave it there. I passed through the gate and I felt that I didn't have to carry it anymore." Nevins may not know how it works, but he is adamant that it does. And if you watch this empowering video below, you’ll be convinced, too.

Rudj Bellini is a magnificent Italian artist who mixes theater, dance, and music, of course, being on horseback. Here is a beautiful video with him and Brezo Aldara, his horse, doing a bit of dressage training for the internet public eyes. Dressage is all about learning to work with your horse and help him achieve greater suppleness, flexibility, and obedience, enhance his natural movements and ability and improve his athleticism. Dressage is a tricky business. They say it takes two lifetimes for a rider to learn how to ride. It’s not only difficult for us riders, but it also takes a very special horse to make it all the way to Grand Prix. It usually takes around five years to train a horse to Grand Prix level, assuming that you don’t suffer any setbacks along the way. That’s how long it takes for the horse to develop the physical and mental strength that he needs to be able to perform the movements required at that level. Dressage is probably the safest discipline in the sport of equestrian. You aren’t jumping over barriers, or over natural obstacles. But, all equestrian sports have a certain level of risk much higher than other sports due to the involvement of horses, which are sentient beings. So it takes a great rider to make it work because dressage riding is a complex process that requires effort, hard work, commitment, discipline, and dedication on the part of the rider. Great dressage riders aren’t just born that way. The most successful and talented dressage riders spend a lot of time in the saddle. That time can be spent having coaching, practicing the movements that they find most challenging, or schooling their horse along the scales of training to build a firm foundation for the more advanced work that is to come. The best dressage riders are also humble enough to admit that they still have much to learn. They’re also curious, never missing an opportunity to learn from their peers. Loving and respecting horses as magnificent, empathetic animals is what brings most riders into working and living with horses in the first place, and that’s a crucial thing to remember.

They almost euthanized this cat, but when they brought home some foster kittens, he doesn’t understand what they are for – until they start snuggling… This story brought tears to my eyes, it just touched my heart. When this poor old cat who could hardly stand to live any longer saw the kittens, the most amazing and remarkable moment happened and it brought tears flowing to my eyes. Towards the end, you won’t stop smiling!
