Is there anything more jolting than being surrounded by a pack of hungry wolves?
Knowing their capabilities, and their hunger, it would be hard to keep your cool in a situation like that, right?
And if we’re talking animals, seeing one in the same situation is bound to make your anxiety skyrocket on their behalf.
But this horse is a different story.
It was a snowy day out in the wilderness, and the wolves were on the hunt for some food.
That’s when a gorgeous horse galloped into the middle of the scene.
The beautiful creature began grazing on what little vegetation was left, paying no mind to the wolves that surrounded him.
The men watching, however, were mortified.
These onlookers were certain that the horse was about to become lunch for this group of Italian wolves, and they dreaded the moment the fight would finally break out.
But the horse played it cool.
As the horse continued to graze, however, something bizarre happened. Rather than gang up to attack, the wolves watched in wonder as this intruder casually strolled about.
A few of the wolves backed up as the black and white horse strutted up to another patch of land.
Even the wolf who had been practically under his feet was quick to get away. Some of the predators who had been sleeping in the snow sat up the second the horse got near them.
The wolves seemed worried that this big horse would attack them. After all, it could easily kick or trample them with its hooves. They watched and waited, trying to figure out the best plan of action.
As the men recorded, the horse got closer still.
It slowly walked into the ranks of the wolves, who stared in disbelief.
The horse kept its nose to the ground the entire time – it didn’t want any trouble, only food. Just as the anxiety of the onlookers was at its highest point, the horse did something incredible.
It turned around, standing right in the middle of the pack. Then, slowly, it lowered itself to the ground.
The horse played in the snow like a puppy!
“No!” the men shouted in disbelief.
Here was the horse, rolling on its back in the snow, kicking its feet every which way, and having the time of its life.
It even swept up the snow with its tail. This horse did not care that the wolves were there, and no one could believe it.
Even the wolves were bewildered.
The horse rolled this way and that way, and the wolves just stared. They couldn’t figure out why this creature wasn’t afraid of them.
Clearly, the horse thought of himself as the alfa of the pack, and he proved himself to be so.
He shook the snow off of his coat as he stood up. The wolf closest to him jumped as it was doused in a shower of snow.
All eyes were on the horse. The wolves stood with their ears perked up, but they realized that this great beast was no threat.
