One of the purest bonds in this world is the bond between a pet and his parents. Let's face it, we get really attached to animals much more than the humans around us. This woman proves this fact and it is extremely emotional to see to say the least!

Love For Pets

I don't think there will be anybody out there who will disagree with the fact that pets hold the same importance in the family as any other family member does! This is a story of an extremely strong between a pet and his mother! And the pet in this one is a horse!

Nicole Graham!

This one is about Nicole Graham who desperately clung to her 17-year-old show horse Astro for three hours to save him from drowning in mud. She gave everything that she had to keep her horse calm and above the deadly quagmire mud as the ocean tide came dangerously close.

The Ride!

Astro weighed 900 lbs and got stuck in the mud on an afternoon ride in Melbourne, Australia. Nicole’s daughter Paris had joined her on her ride and her horse had also got stuck. Nicole was able to free Paris’ horse but not the larger horse Astro.

The Real Problem!

The problem is that Astro was stuck in mud and every effort taken to drag him out resulted in him getting stuck even further. Paris was able to call for help and Astro was sedated while a harness was attached to him so a tractor could pull him out.

The Video

It took 3 hours for rescuers to pull Astro out safely. Nicole, who owns more than 10 horses said, “It was terrifying. It was also heartbreaking to see my horse exhausted and struggling.” She added, “I’ve been riding here for 20 years and never had a drama. I’ve never seen any signs and didn’t realize it was so boggy.” Thankfully Astro suffered only dehydration and some muscle soreness.
