Utah toddler shows off special bond with horses at family barn Video

A two-year-old has found her passion in life at a very young age after taking a liking to the horses at her family’s barn. 

Mayzee Evans has been around horses for nearly all of her two years of life after spending time with her family at its barn in Utah. 

The child loves to brush the horses, clean up after them and even ride the animals, according to mom Brynlee Evans.

Evans, 28, said the connection her daughter has with the animals began at a young age, when the mom would read books to the little girl about horses.

"As a baby, I bought her horse books, and she would just sit and look at them," Evans recalled to SWNS.

The mom of three said one of her young daughter's first words was "horse" — and she’s spent about 10 hours a week with the animals since she was three months old.

"Animals can sense who you are, and I think by her being an old soul they would know she’s safe."

"She [Mayzee] hangs out at the barn from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. every day on weekends to brush the horses, wash them and help out," the toddler’s mom noted to SWNS.

Evans reportedly has a "no-fear" personality that has allowed her to try somewhat difficult skills at a young age.

Taking things to the next level, Mayzee Evans can even ride horses on her own.

"Mayzee rides the horses every weekend," her mom told SWNS. 

In the video shared by Evans, Mayzee Evans can be seen riding horses all by herself, helping to pull the horses into their stall and even carrying a saddle.
