When you hear a good song, sometimes you just have to get down and get funky. And that doesnโt just go for humans.
Animals got rhythm and soul too and, sometimes, they just want to dance.
Well, at least Melanie Kesslerโs horse does. But only when her daughters are dancing with the horse.
She posted a video of her two girls dancing to Silentoโs popular dance song โWatch Me,โ also known as the Whip/Nae Nae, next to a horse at the San Antonio Rose Palace, which is an arena located in Leon Springs.
She captures some video of her girls doing all the popular dance moves to the songs. She videos them while they โduff,โ โbop,โ and โwhipโ around and itโs absolutely adorable.
But itโs their horse that steals the show.
The horse starts swaying and bopping about, seemingly trying to imitate the girls. The music is too much for him and he is captivated by it.
โActually the horse doesnโt do it all day and night long, only when that song plays and the girls dance w Her,โ Kessler wrote on Facebook. โIโve never see a horse do it and I for sure donโt know how to dance. The girls got her to do it and no she is not scared of kids because my daughter in the pink jumped up on her and rode her off right after the video.โ
As it turns out, horses love music.
โPlaying music helps balance equine behavior because it helps mask outside sounds and vibrations, such as tractor engines, high-pitched tools, thunder, and other intense sounds,โ Equine Wellness Magazine reports. โIโve discovered that horses respond best to music with short melodies and strong rhythmic patterns. If youโre looking for a style that fits this criteria, classical or country played at a low volume will have a positive effect and help calm horses while theyโre resting, eating and being groomed in the barn. Itโs not so much the style of music, but its frequency and volume that are most important.โ
The video got an overwhelmingly positive response online. Kesslerโs video got more than 5 million views on Facebook and tons of positive comments.
โThatโs gettinโ down with they funky self,โ said one person.
โShut up! That is hilarious! That horse!โ
โFor sure they got rhythm.โ
