Have you ever wondered if animals can form lifelong friendships?

A curious woman decided to put this to the test by reuniting three horses who had shared a close bond as young foals.

She reintroduced a horse she had parted with four years earlier to his old companions in a field, not knowing the incredible reaction that awaited her.

Sue Blagburn, the woman behind this touching reunion, had raised three horses named Arthur, Harry, and William in Mustons Field, England.

These horses had grown up together, forming an inseparable trio.

However, as Sue’s career shifted towards equine facilitated learning and therapy, she had to make the tough decision to give Arthur up.

For the next four years, while Arthur lived a life of high-class private competitions, Harry and William traveled across England with Sue.

As Sue’s business flourished, Harry and William found themselves among many other ponies.

Eventually, Sue settled in Firle, East Sussex, and felt it was time to bring Arthur back.

She repurchased him and brought him to the field to reunite with his old friends.

Sue had a hunch that the horses would recognize each other, but she was unprepared for the depth of their reaction.
