Question
Is it possible for a mare Horse to accept a human as a colt? The reason I'm asking is because there is a horse in my sister's pasture that is acting very motherly to me. Does she think I'm her colt? Just wondering.

Answer
Hello,

Thanks for your question. I wouldnt think she would be thinking you are her colt. She maybe just a really friendly horse. I have never heard of a horse adopting a human as a foal but Im not saying its not possible. Sounds like you have found a friend though! Have fun and remember to always stay safe.
