The video of the foal went viral on the internet.

Tens of millions of netizens saw the video of the foal’s mother passing away.

Many people felt particularly sympathetic towards the crying little horse, so quite a few started following Jiang Feng’s account to keep up with the foal’s situation.

After the foal’s mother died, it became somewhat panicked.

Perhaps it was because Jiang Feng held it at the time that the little guy started becoming closer to Jiang Feng.

Every time Jiang Feng came over, the foal would approach him on its own.

It’s only four days old now, with a weak body, so Jiang Feng prepared a separate pen specifically for it.

Jiang Feng saw over 100,000 viewers in the livestream room and said:

"Now we have to raise this little horse separately; we can’t mix it with other horses."

"Horses don’t take care of each other’s young, and they might even harm the foal."

"So, until the foal grows up, it has to be raised alone."

"I’ve given it a name, ’July.’

Because it was born in July."

Jiang Feng stood outside the pen, and Little July immediately ran over to him, approaching Jiang Feng through the fence.

Jiang Feng held a bottle of horse milk in his hand and handed it over to feed July.

At this age, the foal already has feelings. Even though it’s very sad that its mother died, it forgets quickly.

With Jiang Feng’s proper care, it became a lot more stable.

The little guy tilted its head up, quickly finishing the bottle of milk.

Most of the viewers in the livestream room were there to watch July.

[Host, take good care of the foal!]

[From now on, I’m a fan of July!]

[I want to watch this horse grow up!]

[It’s really well-behaved!]

Comments continued to flood in.

There are many kind-hearted people, moved by the video showing the mother horse’s final feeding, and touched by July’s tears. They hope July can have a happy ending by coming to the livestream.

Seeing July grow up healthy and happy now, everyone felt much more relieved.

But this is just the beginning.

Foals can easily perish.

Having lost its mother just four days after being born, this little foal will find it hard to survive.

But since Jiang Feng decided to take care of it personally, the problem isn’t a big one.

"July is still very weak. I need to keep a closer watch on it these days to develop its ability for independent living."

"I’ve also found it two friends."

"This can temporarily ease its loneliness."

After finishing feeding, Jiang Feng gently stroked July’s head and spoke softly.

The two friends Jiang Feng mentioned are two Little Donkeys.

Honestly, even though July is only four days old, it’s still a horse after all.

The Little Donkeys are already a year old, but they are, after all, mini donkeys.

The two donkeys aren’t even as tall as July’s legs.

The greatest advantage of mini donkeys is their simple, honest nature and their ability to befriend other animals.

They always seem to smile, making people feel good just by looking at them.

Jiang Feng led the Little Donkeys into the pen, and July immediately hid to the side, curiously watching the two Little Donkeys.

("July, come here."

Jiang Feng called out.

July knew its name. This horse is very smart. Upon hearing Jiang Feng’s call, it immediately hopped over.

"This is your Uncle Donkey and Aunt Donkey."

Pointing to the two small Little Donkeys on the grass, Jiang Feng added.

The livestream scene was already very heartwarming.

Jiang Feng’s comment about Uncle and Aunt Donkey was too much for the viewers!

[Hahaha, these two Little Donkeys aren’t even as tall as July’s legs, and you call them uncle and aunt?]

[Short in stature but high in seniority!]

[Host, you really know how to rank by age!]

[You’ve got me laughing!]

July is too young to socialize with other adult horses, but it can totally interact with Little Donkeys.

These two Little Donkeys are completely non-aggressive.

The Little Donkeys also proactively moved closer to greet July.

This is the time to provide warmth to the little foal.

July lowered its head, looked at the little donkeys, and seemed to be less afraid.

Jiang Feng took the chance to pat its head and calm its emotions.

"From the looks of it, July’s condition is quite good, seems to have come out of its sadness!"

"As long as we don’t let it dwell in its grief, everything will be fine."

Jiang Feng said with a smile.

Then, Jiang Feng tried to teach July how to run.

The method was simple: Jiang Feng ran forward seven or eight steps, then turned around to call the foal.

Seeing Jiang Feng run, the foal would immediately follow, then stop.

When Jiang Feng ran again, the foal would also follow.

Even the two Little Donkeys joined in the fun.

From the horse and donkeys, the viewers sensed a cute vibe.

Everyone laughed happily.

Gifts from viewers supported the livestream constantly.

A lot of people already like July. Those few short moments of true emotion touched people’s hearts.

Jiang Feng played with July for a while, and after the foal calmed down, he left the pen.

Though Jiang Feng could spend more time with the foal, the foal also has to learn to live on its own.

Especially at night, it can only sleep by itself.

At night, Jiang Feng would take July from the open pen to the stable, arranging a separate stall for it, away from other horses.

This way, the little horse’s safety is ensured, and it won’t feel too lonely either.

Then early the next morning, Jiang Feng took the little horse along with him.

As long as emotions are invested, the little horse will respond to Jiang Feng.

The next day of shepherding, Jiang Feng didn’t follow on the Red Rabbit Horse, but chose to walk.

He walked slowly with the little foal.

Xiaojin Hua and Coal Ball were shepherding in front, they were quite interesting, always herding the sheep for a while and then turning around to wag their tails and smile sweetly at Jiang Feng.

Sometimes they would even run over asking for a pat.

Border Collies are naturally quite active and love to move, so they don’t get tired of running around.

Mongolian Mastiffs usually don’t exercise vigorously, but with Xiaojin Hua, the "king of cuteness," Coal Ball has to run back and forth too.

Each time the two dogs ran over, the little foal would retreat, staying far away.

They’re all cute creatures, looking very amusing.

The condition of the foal gradually improved.

It began to willingly approach Jiang Feng proactively.

Netizens watching the livestream saw a handsome, sunny young man strolling leisurely across the endless prairie, wearing shorts, a vest, and a straw hat.

With the companionship of the foal and the dogs, the sight was always soothing.

Jiang Feng didn’t quite look like a prairie person, because prairie people are usually fully equipped, even when the weather is hot, they at least wear long pants.

But Jiang Feng looked like a tourist on vacation.

There are still many flies and mosquitoes here, but Jiang Feng isn’t worried at all.

Netizens seeing the joyful appearance of the foal also felt happier.

[Seeing July so healthy and happy, I’m relieved!]

[It must grow up well!]

[I once raised a foal too, the mother died on the second day after it was born, we accompanied the foal to sleep every day, but it didn’t survive for many days either, I cried terribly!]

Jiang Feng occasionally glanced at July.

It is indeed as netizens say, the mortality rate of foals is very high.

It’s not easy for life to continue.

Therefore, Jiang Feng needed to pay more attention to July’s condition.

"Currently, July’s state is very good."

"Animals are also born with talent; different animals have different personalities when born."

"The ranch has another foal, named June."

"That foal is quite disobedient, and troublesome, and likes to kick people."

"It’s born with a rebellious streak."

Jiang Feng stroked Little July and smiled.

[Are there other foals?]

[Why isn’t it on the livestream!]

[Let me see what June looks like?]

[Rebellious streak? That sounds interesting!]

The bullet chats poured in immediately.

Once the herders enclosed the pastures, horses and camels are generally free-range and occasionally called back.

The pasture is huge, sometimes you need to go out search for half a day to find them.

Today, the ranch’s horses were outside, Jiang Feng looked around, searching for traces of June.

Before long, he really saw little June.

June was with its mother, heads down grazing.

Jiang Feng walked over in that direction.

"Look at that foal, that’s June, quite troublesome, doesn’t like being touched, and kicks if you try to hug it."

Jiang Feng said to everyone.

This statement piqued everyone’s interest.

Netizens hoped he would demonstrate.

Jiang Feng was always straightforward.

So, he took a few steps forward, stopped not far away, and called towards the foal:

"June! June! Come over!"

Both the mother horse and the foal raised their heads.

The mother horse was calm, with an expression of "take this child anywhere you want." After all, it’s an adult horse, it fully trusts humans.

June knew it was being called, but merely raised its head to look at Jiang Feng, without reacting.

"This guy, I’m definitely going to touch you today."

"I can train Red Hare, surely I can tame a little foal like you!"

Jiang Feng was intrigued and started chasing after June.

The foal began running around its mother, and Jiang Feng chased it.

The mother horse watched calmly, unaffected.

This scene amused the netizens.

[The pasture owner has quite a taste, actually chasing a foal!]

[Chase me, if you catch me, I’ll let you hehehe!]

[Another chase scene between it and him!]

[Mother horse: Don’t scare the child, dad!]

Netizens tend to have sharp tongues.

But soon, Jiang Feng caught June.

He hugged the foal’s neck, but this foal really had a strong rebellious streak, even when held by Jiang Feng, its four legs were restless, even wanting to kick Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng didn’t force it, just stroked its head, then let go, allowing it to run back beside its mother.

"See, this is the rebellious streak."

"Everyone sees July, naturally gentle, and has a good temperament."

"The temperament of these foals is determined from birth, June will be a fiery horse in the future, while July will be much gentler."

Jiang Feng looked at June and spoke helplessly.

The prairie was still endless, June leaned against its mother’s side, watching humans vigilantly.

Meanwhile, July ran over to Jiang Feng.

July’s condition was very good, having moved past the sadness.

Jiang Feng also felt much more at ease inside.
