Everyone loves welcoming a new baby into the world, and it seems like even animals get excited to meet the little ones. But when a barrel racing horse named Bridger tried to be the first one to say hello to the farm’s newest foal, his excitement got the better of him, and he ended up creating the funniest scene possible!
Cayman Fox’s horse had a baby recently, and the entire farm was anxious to meet the little one. Bridger spotted the mom and baby out in the field and rushed over to say hello, deciding to take a shortcut by hopping a fence to reach them… but let’s just say it definitely didn’t go according to plan!
Cayman laughed and shared in the caption, “Bridger trying to meet the new baby LOL! A little too excited.” Hey, it happens to the best of us!
