Breathtakingly Beautiful Horse Captured Everyone's Hearts With Its Exotic Mane

A horse named Storm is taking the web by…storm. The eight-year-old Haflinger mare (a breed popular for their beautiful hair) has an enthusiastic following in social media thanks to her wavy golden locks. Not only are her gentle curls perfectly styled, but they also effortlessly fall down her back. The horse's glamour even earned her the nickname “Rapunzel” after the famous character in the classic fairytale.

Naomi Beckers is Storm’s human. The 24-year-old student and entrepreneur purchased Storm from her previous owner two years ago after noticing her fantastic head of hair. Together, the two could be hair twins; Beckers has the same blonde wavy locks that trail down her head. Since entering the young woman’s life, the Haflinger horse’s hair has been growing and growing—intentionally being kept long and luscious. It hasn’t been cut since she was two years and is now over three feet in length. Occasionally, it is braided for her protection.

With an ever-growing audience of over 34,000 followers, it’s safe to say that Storm is Insta-famous. Followers can’t seem to get enough. “I was planning to post a few pictures on it [Storm’s Instagram] from time to time, but people kept asking me when I would post another photo,” Beckers says. “It is actually a bit out of control, but I think it is very nice that it has grown so much!”

Storm all dressed up in new stuff, spoiled horse 👗 but the prettiest horse deserves the prettiest “outfit”, right? And doesn’t she look gorgeous? 😍 • Bridle/ saddlepad/ boots by @sddesigndk • @priscillagijsberts was jealous of Storms looks, so she got some nice new hair while @jeffreylanters made his first braid ever. Highlights of the day✨ • 📷 @priscillagijsberts

Yesterday was a perfect day. We started with our lesson in academic art of riding. Pieces start to fall into place more and more. Storm is so smart and willing to work. She’s such a pleasure to work with. (the video shows how exhausted she is afterwards 💤 cuddling with Jeffrey). We spend the rest of the day with @priscillagijsberts & @jeffreylanters which was a lotttt of fun, as always. Priscilla made some realllly awesome pictures you will definitely be seeing soon 😍❤️ • • • 📷 @skrallan_lukiphotography • 💎 @royal.equestrian • 👟 @scootbootsdownunder

- SADDLE UPDATE - As most of you know we struggled a lot to find a proper fitting saddle last year, eventually we found one that fitted Storm but it wasn’t great for me. Also the padding inside couldn’t be adjusted so I knew as soon as Storm’s build would change it probably wouldn’t fit anymore. A couple months ago I started to notice that our riding progress stagnated so I figured the saddle was the problem (again) and it was. So we decided it was about time to do it 100% right this time; we’re getting a custom made saddle! 🎉 It’s still under construction, we already had 2 fitting sessions and the base is finished. I can design this saddle any way I want, which is really cool! I’ve been drawing and thinking about a billion ideas I think 😂 do you want to see what I’ve come up with?
