Imagine sitting down for an evening meal at home, and a small horse walks inside. That is normal life for a little toddler named Lula and her favorite animal friend.
Lula has a very special pet named Simba. Simba is a small, sweet pony who loves to be around people. From the day they met, the two became close buddies who spend almost every hour together. Most horses stay outside in a barn or a green field, but Simba prefers being with his human family. During the evening, he will calmly walk right through the back door and step into the warm kitchen. Lula sits in her chair, and Simba stands right next to her. He is very gentle around the young girl. She likes to share small, healthy snacks with him while her parents cook the main dinner. Her parents watch them laugh and play across the room.
Having a horse inside the house sounds strange to most people, but for Lula's family, it brings daily happiness. Their bond shows that true animal friendships can happen in the most surprising places.
