With the help of her dad, a little girl called Emma takes a gentle full-size horse for a walk in the snow.

Although she looks so tiny next to the horse, the two-year-old proves to be an excellent cowgirl and shows her skills in a cute video in which she leads her mustang, named Cinnamon, along a snowy path on her dad's ranch in Guffey, Colorado.

They are on the way back to their house, and the father carefully assists the little girl giving her instructions on how to handle the reins. The sweet horse and the cute girl seem to be the best of friends and the way she keeps saying “Cinnamon” is simply adorable.

“These two had and still have a special bond. Cinnamon Girl LOVES her Emma,” proud father Justin Dunn said on his Facebook page.

Horses are known to be very intelligent animals and have different attributes that make them particularly effective in psychotherapy. Mr. Dunn trains horses and teaches horsemanship to children and disabled people at his ranch, and Cinnamon is currently used in therapy sessions for children with cancer.

The adorable video has been viewed more than 300,000 times in less than a week.
