The Heroic Rescue Horse Passes Away, Immortalized with a Memorial Statue 💔

It all started with a desperate scene: a man fell from a bridge into a rushing river, his daughter screaming for help on the bank. In that critical moment, a man named Yilibai rode his white horse, Bailong, charging straight into the dangerous waters.

📹 A gripping video spread online, showing Bailong bravely swimming over 40 meters. Yilibai held the reins with one hand and pulled the victim with the other, successfully bringing the man to safety with the help of locals.

But tragedy struck just days after this heroic act. Bailong suddenly fell ill and passed away due to a fatal intestinal disease. His owner, Yilibai, was heartbroken, sharing: "Every time someone mentions his passing, it brings me to tears."

To honor the brave horse's sacrifice, a statue will be erected by the riverbank – where Bailong’s courage shone brightest.

A heartbreaking ending for a four-legged hero. 🐎😢 What do you think – does Bailong deserve this eternal recognition?

Drayke Hardman was only 12 — a bright, kind boy with a heart too gentle for the cruelty he faced.
He loved sports, made friends easily, and believed kindness could change anyone. But that same kindness made him a target. The bullying never stopped, no matter how hard his parents and teachers tried to protect him.
One day, he came home with a black eye — a silent sign of how deeply he was hurting inside. Two days later, his family’s world shattered.
Drayke was gone.
Now, his parents speak out so no other child suffers in silence. His story is a heartbreaking reminder: bullying kills, and kindness saves.
Be kind. Stand up. Speak out.

Hi everyone with all cattle soughted and cleaning up done and a great 1 day clinic completed. Have time to reflect on our first Campdraft would really appreciate feedback. I myself think that our camp yard was a bit too hard but by ripping it in these dry times would have made outside the camp compacted and or a different surface than the rest which would be dangerous. Maybe sand or cracker dust love to hear your thoughts but it all takes $$$$. Just like to thank our announcer,judges,caterers,helpers,sponsors with out you guys it could not happen. A big thank you to our cattle donors for the fantastic cattle I believe they don’t come any better Anyway back to training horses and mustering cattle until our next clinic this weekend. I would really love to here your feedback so we can keep improving cheers Rod. PS have no one checking my post so it comes as is haha
