Do you remember what it was like as a child to play in the snow? The excitement about the first snowfall of the season. Running out your front door, in pure happiness, to play and run around in the snow. If you don’t live in the snow, you might remember the glee you felt as a child to look out at the snow while driving into it.
Bentley knows exactly about that feeling, but the only thing is, is that Bentley is a horse. Snow days are fun for all, not only children.
Bentley is a horse from the Windermere Farms in Spring Mills, Pennsylvania. Windermere Farms was established in 1962, by Abraham and Mary Allebach, as a dairy farm. It did not take long for Windermere farms to start breeding Percheron horses.
Windermere farms is known worldwide and “…has produced many National and World Champions. The name has become recognized in high quality Percheron breeding and show stock.”
Bentley is one of the current Percheron horses that Windermere is currently breeding. Windermere Farm had snowfall come in January and no one was more excited than Bentley. The moment he was let out into the snow, he was on a mission to have fun. Bentley started skipping in joy.
Watching Bentley will bring out the kid in everyone, he is having so much fun.
Bentley does not only skip around in the snow in glee, he started to roll around in it. The snow is real and Bentley wants his entire body to roll around in the cold fun.
It does not take long for two dogs to run to Bentley on the other side of the fence. These dogs understand how Bentley feels. These dogs run to Bentley as if to say, “isn’t it great!”
Bentley answers to the two dogs excitement by running around even faster. Bentley even starts to do some high jumps in excitement.
There is nothing greater than a day in the snow for this horse.
Windermere Farm knew that Bentley’s joy was contagious, so they videotaped Bentley’s fun romp in the snow. They posted the video to Windermere Farm’s Facebook page with the message,
“Everyday we realize how blessed we are to be the caretakers of these magnificent creatures, but today as we watch Bentley enjoying himself playing in the snow, we feel especially thankful. Have a wonderful Sunday with your family and friends.”
A joyful Bentley would make an employee feel more grateful about their job. It would be a good day’s work to watch your animal hop and skip around having the day of their life. The video ends with Bentley running fast around the entire gated area. Bentley’s energy kept growing in his happiness.
Windermere Farm was right in their assumption that watching Bentley playing in the snow would even make strangers smile. The video has been shared on Facebook and has already gathered over 2 million views.
A few of the commenters had to say,
“I LOVE THIS VIEDO! I don’t know anything about horses but I couldn’t stop watching this big guy! All attitude.How beautiful he is. I kept waiting for him to jump that fence and run into never never land.”
