Woman Prepares to Say Goodbye to Horse, Can't Believe What Happens Next
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A woman was left in tears as she prepared to say goodbye to her horse, but as it turned out, there was yet another twist as the horse had quite the surprise in store. Earlier this year, Libby Partridge was close to selling one of her horses, 6-year-old Lilly. She told Newsweek that there was a "very serious buyer" who was due to visit the horse on April 1 and was likely to take Lilly home the next day. It was a very difficult time for Partridge, 18, who cried over the thought of having to say goodbye to her beloved Lilly. However, the buyer's car broke down and prevented them from being able to meet the horse. That bought Partridge a few more days with Lilly, and they ended up being very eventful indeed. Libby Partridge, 18, and Lilly and Coco in a field. Libby Partridge, 18, and Lilly and Coco in a field. @ / TikTok On April 8, Partridge, from the UK, discovered that Lilly was in fact in foal, and she was likely to give birth within a matter of weeks. If the sale had gone through, Partridge may have never even known that Lilly was expecting. "I saw the dad, named Donkey, in a Facebook post and I knew we needed him," Partridge said. "I was told that he was a castrated donkey, so I thought that's perfect. He arrived and he very clearly wasn't castrated. She continued: "I thought because he's quite old already, I wouldn't put him through the stress of surgery. So, I kept him intact in a separate field far away from Lilly. All was well until I woke up one morning with Donkey in Lilly's field." At the time, Partridge "thought nothing of it" and presumed that Donkey's smaller stature would prove problematic. Horses are traditionally measured in hands, with one hand equaling approximately four inches. Lilly is almost 16 hands tall, whereas Donkey measures at 10 hands. "I thought Donkey couldn't reach, but oh boy, was I wrong," Partridge said. As it transpired, Lilly gave birth to a mule on April 21, much to Partridge's amazement. She told Newsweek that was in "utter awe" when she saw the mule, who she has named Coco. Partridge didn't have any previous experience with a mule, so she wasn't sure what to expect of the donkey and horse hybrid. But fortunately, Coco has a wonderful temperament it's just like having a dog (a very large one at that). Partridge shared a video on TikTok (@ of the stunning turn of events, and the clip instantly went viral. In just a matter of days, the video has generated more than 5.9 million views and over 1.2 million likes on TikTok at the time of writing. The footage shows Partridge crying her eyes out over the prospect of losing Lilly, only to be surprised with a new addition in the shape of Coco. Donkey has now been castrated, and the adorable family trio lives together in a large field with Partridge's other horses. "The reaction online has been nothing but positive," Partridge said. "I share a lot of my life online and have built such a kind and caring community. Coco is just like a big dog—all she wants is cuddles and attention. And Lilly is the kindest mare ever." Since the video went viral, internet users can't get enough of Lilly and Donkey's little secret, leading to more than 550 comments on the TikTok post so far. One comment reads: "She's like hang on, I'm duplicating." Another TikTok user wrote: "She said you weren't getting rid of her that easily." Another person joked: "She said nice try your stuck with me forever." While one commenter added: "I bet you're so glad you held on for that little bit longer."

Logan Paul marries Nina Agdal in over-the-top Lake Como wedding — see the pics
What else would you expect from an influencer with 27 million Instagram followers? YouTube star and WWE personality Logan Paul has officially tied the knot with model and influencer Nina Agdal in a splashy, opulent Lake Como ceremony surrounded by family, friends, and plenty of over-the-top moments. The couple chose Italy's most glamorous backdrop — Lake Como — for their big day. The location held special meaning, as Paul proposed to Agdal at the luxurious Hotel Passalacqua in July 2023, where rooms start at over $2,300 a night. Their return to the region for the wedding marked a full-circle moment in their love story. Agdal wore a corseted lace gown with her hair swept into an updo, while Paul wore a white suit. The pair's 10-month-old daughter, Esme, also played a starring role in the celebration, making it a true family affair. The wedding guest list included Paul's brother, Jake, and his fiancée, Olympic skater Jutta Leerdam, 26. Logan shared a series of photos and videos with his 27 million Instagram followers, writing 'I've seriously been crying' over one emotional clip. But in true Paul family fashion, there was also a dose of chaos: Jake was filmed repeatedly punching the wedding cake and destroying it in the process, a bizarre moment that quickly went viral. "No respect for food," one commenter wrote. Another said, "Real men don't waste cake."
