Miniature rescue horse Spanky, 10, and Jack Russell Dally, 9, have been best friends for years at their ranch in Spokane, Washington.

One day, owner Francesca Carson decided to see if she could get Dally to ride Spanky and said the response from both was remarkable.

"It's really special to see the trust they have between each other - it's remarkable for a horse to allow a dog to jump on him whenever he wants," she said.

Francesca travels the country teaching people how to create positive relationships with their horses and also does shows and charity events with Dally and Spanky.

"It helps kids understand horses and dogs and promotes rescuing animals that are unwanted," she said.
