On July 19, in the Honghualiang Tunnel in Chongli District, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province, a young horse collapsed and couldn’t get up. Five larger horses stood guard beside it, using their bodies to protect the foal while blocking the road, seemingly seeking help.

Video footage shows three of the larger horses closely surrounding the fallen foal, while two others stood across the lanes, completely blocking traffic and preventing vehicles from passing.

According to eyewitnesses, the scene lasted for about 40 minutes. Police eventually arrived to direct traffic, and under their guidance, the horses gradually moved aside to allow vehicles through.

Officials from the local forestry bureau stated that police later contacted the horse owner, who came to retrieve the animals. The foal was taken away with the rest of the horses, though its condition is still being determined.
