A video showing a person in white socks and a white hoodie — not looking like a shepherd — walking into a body of water to help a foal reach the shore has gone viral. According to the caption, the incident occurred along the Bayanaul–Pavlodar highway.
In the comment section, users praised the man’s actions and thanked him for his empathy.
«A herd grazing freely? Where are the shepherds? Bravo to the man! After all, an unfamiliar mare protecting her foal could easily kick. What a brave guy,» a Threads user commented.
Netizens also focused on the mare’s behavior. At first, she seemed worried that the man might harm her foal, but when she realized he was freeing its hoof, she nodded her head several times. Viewers speculated that this was the mare’s way of thanking her rescuer.
