Horse breaks into funeral and refuses to let its owner be buried!

The Horse Who Refused to Say Goodbye

When his faithful owner died, a horse named Hercules wouldn’t let them take him to his grave. After they opened the coffin, they were terrified by what they saw.

It was a spring morning on a farm in the countryside. The sun was rising and beginning to shine. The air was fresh, and nature seemed to be full of life.

Joseph, a 73-year-old man, woke up early as usual and walked to the barn where Hercules was waiting anxiously for him. When the horse saw him, he immediately started neighing and tapping his feet on the ground as if he was saying,

“Hello, my friend.”

The gentleman stroked his neck and said with a smile on his face,

“Good morning, buddy. Shall we go for a walk around the farm?”

Then he saddled the animal and mounted up. The two of them rode through the green fields surrounded by mountains and leafy trees.

Joseph took a deep breath of the pure air of his farm and felt a deep peace fill his heart. While galloping, the farmer spotted a group of colorful butterflies flying in circles.

He pointed at them and said,

“Look, Hercules, how wonderful these little creatures are, having as much fun as we are. Let’s show them who’s boss.”

The horse neighed as if agreeing with Joseph and picked up the pace towards the butterflies, causing them to fly in every direction. The gentleman felt the wind on his face and the sense of freedom that only life in the countryside could provide.

Simple Joys and Country Traditions

After a while, they returned to the farm where Joseph’s wife, Ivone, was waiting for them with fresh coffee and homemade bread. They sat on the porch and contemplated the mountainous landscape while savoring the delicious breakfast.

“Beautiful day, isn’t it, love?”

Ivone exclaimed.

“Yes, it’s very beautiful,”

replied the elderly man.

It was a simple moment but full of meaning. Joseph felt grateful to be able to enjoy the beauty of life on that farm.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath once again, feeling that pure air entering his lungs.

“Yeah, let me get to work,”

said the old man, getting up and mounting his faithful friend Hercules.

Joseph was a simple man but very hardworking. He had lived on that property for as long as he could remember.

There he raised horses, cows, pigs, and a few goats. He was known in the region as careful and attentive towards his animals, who treated them all with great love and respect.

The elderly man and his wife also grew some vegetables and fruits. They cultivated what they needed for their own subsistence and occasionally sold the extra to the neighbors.

But one of the farmer’s specialties was cheese production, which he made following his parents’ recipe. He used the cow’s milk to produce delicious and aromatic cottage cheese, aged cheese, and fresh cheese, which were much appreciated by the locals.

Joseph was also known for his hospitality and friendliness. He always welcomed visitors to his farm with a smile on his face and a warm cup of coffee accompanied by fresh bread and cake.

The old man’s farm was a quiet and welcoming place with its dazzling vegetation. He took care of everything with great care and love, and his property was an example of how simple life in the countryside could be rewarding and fulfilling.

A Family Bound by Love and Nature

He had four children, two boys and two girls. The youngest were still teenagers aged 15 and liked to help their father on the farm whenever possible.

They were twins. The boy’s name was Daniel while the girl’s name was Gabriella.

They both lived with their parents on the property. The old man loved spending time with them and teaching them about animals, nature, and the rural traditions.

He would take them on horseback rides around the farm, show them how to milk the cows, and look after the calves when they were born. Daniel and Gabriella also loved taking part in cheese production, and the old man was very happy to show them the secrets of this very important tradition in the region.

Together they prepared the milk, added the ferment, and shaped the cheese. The presence of his children made his life even happier and more enjoyable.

They grew up in a healthy environment surrounded by nature and animals and learned to value the simplicity of country life. Joseph had a large and happy family.

As well as the twins, he had two more grown-up children, Teresa and Gil, who had already left home. They came to visit the farm from time to time, bringing with them his grandchildren, joy, and good stories to share about the big city.

Joseph’s wife was also a constant presence on the property. She looked after the house, prepared meals, and helped her husband with whatever he needed.

She was a strong and dedicated woman who greatly admired him for his hard work and passion for life. That family lived in harmony, completely happy in an atmosphere of love and unity on the farm.

The Onset of an Unrelenting Illness

However, no one could have imagined what the universe had in store for them. One day, Joseph was organizing the hay in the barn when he began to feel unwell.

He felt a bit tired and his body ached, which was unusual for him. Although he was 73 years old, the man was very healthy and strong.
