“When Your Horse Gives Off Major Golden Retriever Vibes”

Is this a horse, or a golden retriever with hooves? One equestrian in Australia finds herself asking that question constantly about her pet, Oakley. Sometimes, this fun-loving animal acts more like a big, goofy dog than anything else! His owner caught some hilarious footage of him playing outside.

In the clip, Oakley was going for a walk with his mom when he got a serious case of the zoomies. Thankfully, the woman wasn’t riding the animal at the time! Instead, the two were enjoying a stroll in the grass side by side. At least, they were until the horse started running around like a loose golden retriever in a spacious backyard! Judging by the look in his eyes, he really wanted to play. However, every time his owner whistled for him, he came back to her. What a good boy!

Not only does this horse act like a golden retriever, but he kind of looks like one, as well! Oakley’s coat is just about the same color as one of these fair-haired pooches. One commenter jokingly called him a “field puppy.”

Oakley and his owner have a very special relationship. In her caption, the woman explained that they’d been together since the horse was born!

“Having him from birth and just winging everything has been the best thing ever!” she wrote. “Sometimes we get it wrong, but sometimes we get it right.”

If you thought that this horse was acting like a golden retriever in the previous video, just wait until you see this next one. Oakley’s mom caught some hysterical footage of the animal rolling around in the grass in the middle of a walk. He’d chosen a slightly inconvenient location for this break, too: the side of a hill. His owner couldn’t help but laugh when she saw him sliding downward, but he didn’t even seem to notice!

“Oakley is the most entertaining little horse I know,” Mom wrote in her caption.

We’d have to agree with that!
