A toddler who adores horses is melting hearts after helping give her favorite horse a bath, using a bucket of soapy water, a sponge, and a tiny stepladder.
Winter Howley, aged 2, is growing up with horses since her mom and dad, professional showjumpers Morgan Kent and Richard Howley, own and run HK Horses in Wetherby, England, breeding and selling horses. Winter’s favorite resident horse is Mansini Ltd, a top showjumper who was bound for Monaco in June.
Ms. Kent told The Epoch Times: “I was cautious that she was supervised, but it was good to see her want to be involved in the care and looking after of the horses. ... She loves to do anything with them: groom them, bathe them, ride them.”
Ms. Kent recorded the sweet moment as an update on what the toddler has been up to and shared it with the family group.
“Most people have been positive and love to see the interaction between her and horses. I wasn’t expecting it [to go viral],” Ms. Kent told The Epoch Times, adding: “She has always loved them. When she was one year old, she would try to pull herself up on them and got really excited to be around them.”
According to Ms. Kent, Winter loves young horses and foals.
“She’s a character, as all children are at this age,” Ms. Kent said describing Winter’s personality. “She’s outgoing and loves to be outside.”
