Horse and dog who look like siblings thanks to matching coats are best friends

The pair have matching white and brown coats, making them look like they share an adorable family resemblance.

Their bond is such that Rumba even loves going for rides on Eli’s back.

Keep Household Toxins (Including the Garbage) Out of Reach. While it may seem obvious to keep your cleaning products tucked away safely one of the biggest threats to a dogs health in your home is the garbage. If your dog gets into the garbage you can use some baby proof locks to seal it, or put it away in the closet or garage while you’re gone.

‘Eli loves following Rumba when we go on hikes and if she can’t find her, she will quickly look for her.

‘She prefers hikes with Rumba and sees her as part of the gang now.

‘Rumba is very careful around the horses and respects their size well; she loves being outside exploring with Eli.

‘When I got Rumba, I didn’t actually know what she looked like as we reserved her before she was even born, so it was a total surprise that she had the same colourings as Eli.

Your dog needs his own cozy spot as well, preferably a crate, a comfy bed that’s his alone and a selection of appropriate toys.

‘People always comment on how similar they look despite their huge size difference.’

Freelance estate agent Océane was initially worried the pair wouldn’t get along, but those concerns didn’t last long.

She adds: ‘I had been wanting a dog for as long as I can remember and after a series of events, I knew it was the right time to get one.

‘I had just lost one of my horses and needed to bring some more happiness into my life.

‘Rumba comes with me anytime I go to see or ride Eli.
