A sad video of a horse playing by himself because “none of the big horses like him yet” has received millions of views on TikTok.
The video shared by TikTok user @heatherrrr.979 shows horse Flynn playing with a giant ball, happily roaming around a forest by himself. But while the horse seems content enough, his owner confirmed that he’s alone due to the other horses not liking him.
TikTok users hope Flynn the horse finds friends soon
The TikTok video has attracted a lot of comments from upset viewers, but Flynn’s owner has assured everyone that he’s okay.
“He’s the ‘new kid’ and horses are slow to accept new horses into their herds,” Heather explained. “He’s also super young and can be a little obnoxious trying to play with them. They’re not mean to him and don’t chase him away or anything, they just don’t pay him any attention so he usually goes and does his own thing.”
Watch the video below:
Flynn is a yearling colt, which typically means a male horse aged between one and two years old that has yet to be gelded (castrated). Yearling can also be used to describe a young female horse.
According to Heather, the horses have yet to take kindly Flynn, though it’s hoped that he will be able to integrate better into the herd when he gets older.
