The internet has ~lost its collective shit~ over any number of weird things over the years, but holyfuckingshit we are 100% here for this one.
The object of the internet’s latest, rampant affection is Frederik the Great, a horse dubbed the most majestic, beautiful, goddamn-diddly-handsome horse in the world. And, quite frankly, whoever decided that is not wrong.
As Deccan Chronicle reports, Frederik the Great has long been a cult celebrity, but over the past week has gone batshit bonkers viral, with his photos garnering hundreds upon hundreds of shares on Facebook.
His owner Stacy Nazario told The Guardian that she bought the 15-year-old Friesian stallion when he was six years old, importing him from the Netherlands to Arkansas, USA.
“The first time I laid eyes on him, I knew he was exceptional,” she said.
According to Nazario, Frederik – whose namesake is the Prussian King Frederik II – isn’t just blessed with great looks, but *also* with a great personality.
“His personality went right along with his looks,” she said. “He’s just phenomenal. His temperament is sweet. I could put a baby right next to him and he would just be gentle with it. He’s a gentle giant.”
Also: he’s a dad. An unknown mare gave birth to the product of his seed in October last year, and WOULD YOU LOOK AT THIS BEAUTY:
*heart explodes*
