There’s a universal truth that sometimes, we all need a bit of motherly advice, regardless of our age.

This isn’t just a human phenomenon; animals experience it too.

Take, for instance, the young colt in a heartwarming video that’s been making rounds on the internet.

This little guy found himself in a bit of a pickle when he couldn’t muster the courage to jump over a wall.

The story unfolds on a farm where the colt is enclosed within a fenced yard.

He appears restless, pacing back and forth along a white wall that’s been constructed on the grass.

It’s evident that something’s bothering him, and it’s not just the wall.

The mystery unravels when it’s revealed that his mother had effortlessly jumped over to the other side of the wall.

Naturally, the colt wanted to follow suit.

But, despite the wall not being particularly high, it posed a daunting challenge for the young one.

Equisearch, a source on equine matters, notes that horses often find everyday objects, ranging from rocks and farm equipment to jumps and buildings, quite intimidating.

Observing her baby’s predicament, the mare couldn’t just stand by.

She wasn’t about to abandon her young one in his time of need.

Whether it was fear or simply a lack of knowledge on how to jump, it was evident the colt needed some guidance.

So, in a touching display of maternal instinct, she jumped back over to assist him.

The lesson began with the mare leading the way.

She trotted towards the far end of the yard, with the colt eagerly trailing behind.

The objective was clear: she was about to teach him the art of “hopping fences.”

It’s not as simple as just standing next to a barrier and leaping over.

Demonstrating the technique, the mare, with her colt by her side, began trotting back towards the brick wall.

Using the momentum she’d built up, she effortlessly jumped over the wall.

And thanks to her lesson, her colt followed suit.

The mare’s actions speak volumes about the bond between a mother and her offspring.

The mare came back and got him. She even showed him how to gather speed to make it up the wall. It was beautiful to watch.”

The video has since resonated with many, garnering a plethora of positive comments.

One viewer aptly dubbed the mare as the “horse mom of the year,” a title that’s undoubtedly well-deserved.

Another viewer succinctly summed up the sentiment of many by stating, “You can always count on Mom!”
