There’s nothing quite like a juicy watermelon on a hot summer day—and it turns out horses agree! While we humans love this refreshing treat during peak season, our equine friends are equally enthusiastic about indulging in nature’s sweetest bounty. One Canadian horse lover captured the perfect moment when her beloved gypsy cobs discovered just how delicious watermelon can be.
Sherry Lescure from Millet, Alberta recently filmed her two stunning gypsy cobs, Sugar Plum (10) and Pita (4), happily munching on watermelon in the beautiful Canadian countryside. What makes these horses absolutely unforgettable? Their magnificent natural beards and mustaches! Gypsy cobs are famous for their distinctively long facial hair—a striking feature that sets them apart from virtually every other horse breed you’ll encounter.
These charming equines looked adorably messy as they dipped their impressive beards into the juicy fruit. The combination of their naturally flowing facial hair and their watermelon-eating enthusiasm makes for absolutely hilarious viewing! If you’ve never seen a bearded horse up close, these gypsy cobs are the perfect introduction to one of the most unique and endearing characteristics of the breed.
Maintaining those magnificent beards while enjoying a snack is no easy feat—keeping clean with all that facial hair is quite the challenge! But that doesn’t stop Sugar Plum and Pita from thoroughly enjoying their summer treat. Their carefree attitude and obvious pleasure in the moment is utterly contagious.
