Gorgeous Moment A Wild Horse Saves A Young Filly (Horse) From Drowning
He resides in the Tonto National Park in Arizona and this is where the remarkable incident occurred, luckily for us, it was caught by a Park Service Volunteer named Becky Standridge.
” Champ and his family were grazing along the banks of the Salt River when another team of horses showed up on the opposite bank.”
” Among the other group were 2 playful colts.”
” Champ and his household became curious about the other horses.”
” Champ and a few of the horses started crossing the river to greet the other horses, when suddenly the river’s current forced a young filly under the water.”
” She was pulled under the water and came to the surface in a panic!”
” Champ swam over to her and tried to grab the filly by the side of her neck but he was not able to get a hold of her.”
” The filly began to be swept downstream by the current. However Champ did not give up.”
” Champ damaged from the team and swam after her.”
” This time he was able to grab her by the back of her neck.”
” He held her gently and did not let go until she was safely back onshore.”
” When on the river bank, the relieved filly headed directly to her mother.”
” Champ continued on to see the other horses.”
” He met with the stallion of the various other group and the two horses welcomed each other with mutual respect.”
” Afterwards, Champ returned to his family and the herd continued on their way.”
