Bubby and Louie, two miniature donkeys, and Pistol, a curious horse recently ventured into their snowy paddock and quickly stopped in their tracks thanks to a snowy intruder — a tiny snowman! Their mom filmed their reactions to the unexpected and frosty opponent, which range from cautious curiosity to playful bravery.
Pistol, wary of the snowman, chooses to navigate through deep snow to keep his distance. Bubby, taking cues from Pistol, initially follows suit but soon musters the courage to approach the snowy figure.

Louie, meanwhile, suspects there is more to the snowman that meets the eye…there is and it’s the tantalizing scent of carrots used for the snowman’s eyes and nose.

After a few cautious passes, Bubby gains confidence that the snowy figure isn’t going to do anything and happily discovers the carrot snacks! It’s adorable to see how differently the animals react to the snowman.
One viewer wrote, “Watching animals discovering something new is among one of the greatest things to experience in life” to which Bubby and Louie’s mom wrote, “Yes it is. I didn’t expect such a reaction from the horse.” She followed her comment with a laugh emoji.
Another viewer commented, “The donkeys followed the horse like cars following a snow plow. Smart!”
One other joked, “Horses are only scared of two things: Things that move, and things that don’t move.”
And one person applauded Bubby, writing “Winner winner carrot dinner!!!!”
