Something Magical Happens When A Special Needs Boy Approaches This Horse

The little boy in this video, Erez, suffers from a rare disorder known as Williams syndrome. He’s just one of 150 diagnosed cases in Israel. His condition makes it difficult for him to experience contact properly, which is what makes this video so touching.

He is uncharacteristically shy at first. Can you imagine if you were as small as he was and you were meeting an animal so big? But he soon warms up and snuggles up close to the gentle giant. Watching the pure joy on his face is entirely priceless. He is going to face many roadblocks throughout his lifetime, but you can tell that his spirit and loving personality are going to be guiding lights for himself, and for his family and friends.
