Video of horse's romantic gesture viewed by millions

(YouTube)

One stallion is not horsing around when it comes to making his feelings clear. A male horse has been filmed galloping eagerly across a field to bring his "girlfriend" hay.

In a clip filmed at an equine hospital in Texas, a caring stallion called T exhibits altruistic behaviour, or sneaky wooing, by bringing a female horse called Layla a mouthful of hay.

 

They then eat in silence before he tries to give her nibbly kisses, which she doesn't seem as impressed by.

The video was taken by Jessica Munn, an employee at Peak Performance Equine Hospital in Granbury, Texas, and has racked up more than 7.7 million views on Facebook since going up on 4 September.
