Sweet Horse Running Over to Greet 'His Girl' Couldn't Possibly Be Sweeter

Horses are incredibly intelligent, loyal animals who always look after their people. One horse named Tully knows this to his core as he looks forward to seeing his favorite person, a little girl, every single day.

In an adorable TikTok video shared by Aplenty91 , Tully's reaction to seeing the little girl is too pure for words and it will warm your heart. Take a look and try not to melt over the sweetness!

In the 22-second video captioned, "Tully and his girl," the excited horse spots his favorite person, an adorable little girl , and trots over to her as fast as his hooves allow. Once Tully reaches the girl, the two share the purest moments together as she lifts her hand up to pet his nose, then climbs through the fencing to spend more precious time together. Every time the girl moves, Tully is close behind.

Clearly these two are the best of friends, prompting many to offer words of praise about their beautiful friendship.

"This is the most precious thing I’ve ever seen," one person wrote. "That is the type of bond that is priceless," another remarked. "Can’t express how much I love the visual of this EXPERIENCE your little one just had," another added.

What's The Best Age For Children To Ride a Horse?

The girl in Tully's video has obviously been raised with horses and likely knows how to interact safely but Dana Surrusco, owner of HorseSense Riding Academy in Ellijay, Georgia tells Vet Street that knowing if your child is ready for horseback lessons is less about age and more about balance, coordination and both physical and emotional maturity.

“Balance is probably as important as anything else," Surrusco says, adding that, “If you have to tell the kids to put their heels down over and over again, it may be because they don’t even realize they have heels!”

Other factors that determine a child's readiness include having hand and leg strength to balance and communicate with the horse, having a good attention span and good listening skills as well as a lot of patience.

Some of this can begin learning the basics of horseback riding between the ages of four and seven, though much of their skills will develop the the longer they're in the presence of horses where they can understand what it takes to ride them.

With a little time and practice, your child can have a special relationship just like Tully and his girl (that's the dream)!
