Every relationship needs love and trust. This is true about all of the loved ones in our lives, including our animal friends. But the need for this healthy bond is especially highlighted in competitions like horse races. Based on the video below, it’s very clear that this is something Anna Ley already understands perfectly. At only 15 years old, she and her horse, Errando, find themselves competing in some of the most prestigious competitions.

This includes the FEI Jumping European Championship for Young Riders, Juniors & Children. This event last took place in the Netherlands, and it offered teens like Anna the chance to show off their incredible skills. While this is certainly something Anna did during her time there, she also showed what it means to care for your horse with genuine care and love. This can be seen in the way she responds to her horse knocking her to the ground. Watch for yourself in the video below.

Based on the commentary, it seems that Errando had been off his game for a minute. Finally, though, he stops short of a hurdle, knocking Anna on the ground. But amidst the chaos, this loving horse still makes sure to not harm his human. This was no doubt a very upsetting moment for both Errando and Anna.

But any disappointment Anna felt over the competition was quickly pushed aside. Instead, she turned her attention to Errando, making sure he felt safe, loved, and comforted during what was clearly an upsetting time for him. As a result, he was able to calm down, and the two of them were able to leave the area calmly.

“Made me tear up because this is what our sport is about,” someone shares in the comment section, with another person adding, “We all have bad days, including animals! Happy that she understood that.”
