Four-year-old horse named Shiner will lend you his sympathetic ear whenever you need it. Recently, his owner, Shania, undoubtedly needed some consolation, and the Chestnut horse was there to provide it.

In the endearing clip, Shiner prods Shania toward her for a hug as she sobs. ‘I was going through a divorce and moving out that day,’ Shania wrote. When I work with my horses, I always set up my camera.

My horse Shiner sensed that I was trying to run away from my emotions, she said. He simply took me into his chest to let me cry it out while reassuring me with his touches because he could feel my pain.

It’s a heartwarming scene that highlights the value and uniqueness of animals in our life. Horses are able to take our emotions away from us and just let go because they feel our feelings and are excellent at living in the moment, continued Shania.
