There’s no doubt that having animals around can be healing and rewarding, but let’s be honest, it can be entertaining, too! Whether it’s a dog who has the zoomies or a farmyard friend calling out to say hello, animals big and small have so many ways of making people smile.
Even if you don’t need any proof, you’ll want to take a minute to watch equestrian @katievanslyke’s priceless April 25 TikTok video. The horse owner was delighted to watch her smallest resident–miniature horse foal Squirt–learn how to roll in the dirt.
After all, a horse has got to learn how to scratch an itch! The baby’s tiny legs make this movement feel less than natural, but it’s not long before he gets the hang of it.

OMG–We can’t stop laughing! Poor little Squirt looked like he was just flailing around at first, but he really did master the art of rolling after a minute or so. But now it has us wondering how long this baby horse has been trying to roll over and scratch an itch!
It can be so frustrating not to reach an itch, but this resourceful little lad figured it out for himself. Good job, Squirt!
