When a Horse Won’t Stop Hugging Its Owner, the Doctor Investigates and Immediately Calls the Police

By: Lisa Lee | Published: Nov 12, 2023

Some believe that horses are not only beautiful but possess a unique “sixth sense” that allows them to detect dangers that other animals miss–like feelings or perhaps something that’s simply concealed. This hasn’t been definitively demonstrated, but there are certainly some impressive horses–like Keola, for instance.

As soon as her owner became pregnant, Keola, the horse, started acting strangely. This is the account of that event.

The Couple Received A Miracle

Jolene Jonas is the name of the lady in question. However, in order to respect her desire to preserve her anonymity, there are no photographs of her that can be seen anywhere. Jolene and her spouse Ricky had been trying for a long time to start a family but had not been successful.

And when she did ultimately conceive, that, in and of itself, seemed like a miracle. That is, up until Keola all of a sudden began acting strangely.

As Jolene’s pregnancy continued to develop, their horse, Keola, started acting in an odd manner. Randomly, Keola would either give Jolene a hug or lick her stomach. Because the married pair was at a loss for words regarding how to respond to all of this, they made every effort to dismiss it.

They had no idea what the animal was trying to convey to them, and there was no way they could have guessed. So let’s discover the reason for Keola’s peculiar behavior.

The Ultrasound Report

The pregnancy was developing normally, so there was no cause for concern there. That is, only until the point of 25 weeks. After that, Jolene started whining about how much her back hurt. Because her condition was so severe, she was unable even to walk.

Ricky drove Jolene to the clinic so they could see their family physician, who recommended that they get an ultrasound. However, what the physician saw was so disturbing that he immediately contacted the authorities.

The Beginning

Let’s reminisce about Jolene and Ricky’s past together to figure out how we got here. Since they were both 16, they’ve been inseparable. And a few years after they had tied the knot,  they eventually got Keola.

Their relationship certainly had its flaws, but that is to be expected from any marriage. But Jolene began to get the impression that something was not quite right. Since they first met, Jolene’s mind had been preoccupied with one particular issue.

Ricky’s Family Background

Despite the reality that they had been together for ages, Jolene had the impression that she did not know Ricky. When it came to his family background, he refused to talk about anything with Jolene. Jolene’s anxiety level began to rise as a result.

Ricky would say that it ached too much to talk about the fact that he had no family left. But was it really that terrible that he couldn’t tell his spouse about this? Ricky, though, claimed he wished to put the whole thing behind him.

The Wedding Day

Jolene eventually came to terms with the fact that Ricky was simply this way. At least she didn’t see anything else was wrong with him, but she couldn’t get him to talk about his family. They dated for ten years before deciding to tie the knot.

Jolene was hoping to meet Ricky’s relatives for the first time, but no one was present to greet her. Maybe it wasn’t so shocking that Ricky’s wedding guest list consisted entirely of friends, not family. Unfortunately for Jolene, she never got to meet Ricky’s relatives.

Trying To Conceive

They desired to have children of their own, just like every other married couple does. However, despite their best efforts and after months of attempting, the couple was unable to conceive a child. They had no idea what may be causing this.

Hence, they made the decision to seek medical attention in order to get some answers. The physician ordered certain examinations; however, after a few days, he gave them a gloomy warning and asked them to return to the clinic.

Their Prayers Were Granted

They were ready for the worst-case scenario. But, to everyone’s relief, there was absolutely nothing that should concern the couple. They were told by the physician that their health was excellent and that there was absolutely nothing that could stand in the way of them having a child if they so wanted to do so.

In fact, Jolene discovered she was pregnant exactly one week later! When they heard the news, everyone was overjoyed–everybody except one member of the family.

Unhappy Keola

At first, it was simply a hug, but as time passed, Keola, the horse, started to embrace Jolene in a rather forceful manner as her tummy developed. This issue gave them a fresh riddle to solve, so they brought Keola to the veterinarian with them.

Nevertheless, they could not identify anything wrong with the animal. But it seemed like Keola’s behavior was just getting worse. Jolene started looking into this phenomenon, but the findings made her feel even more uneasy about it.

How Horses Communicate

Horses are excellent communicators and always try to express their emotions through physical contact. Generally, they’ll “neck hug” their owners as a way of showing love and affection. It’s the same thing when they try to share their air with you by breathing into your face.

But when a horse tries to kick you? That can be a tell-tale sign of fear and means that something is definitely wrong somewhere.

Jolene was a Great Horse Owner

Jolene was an amazing horse owner and she was able to notice that something was wrong with Keola on time. It was obvious Keola was scared or trying to defend herself from something. But the problem was that Jolene didn’t have any idea what that “something” was.

She probably didn’t imagine, however, that Keola was only pointing out something that was wrong with her (Jolene’s) own body instead.

Her Mother’s Advice

Jolene’s investigation revealed that this indicated there was a problem with her unborn child. Jolene was on the verge of a panic attack, but she didn’t want to upset her husband with the news.

Consequently, she went to talk to her mother in order to receive some guidance from her. It is true that her mother advised her not to place too much stock in what was essentially a rumor and that the decision of what course of action they should take next should be made jointly.

The Doctor’s Findings

Jolene then made up her mind to inform Ricky of her findings. And the two decided it would be smart to retrace their steps to the clinic to inquire further. She had reached the 18-week mark of her pregnancy by this time, allowing the doctor greater insight into the state of the fetus’s development. And everything ended up working out just great.

She was simply instructed to return for another ultrasound at the 25-week mark. They began to wonder if Keola had overreacted to something trivial.

Intense Backache

Jolene first experienced severe back pain that made her feel as though she was about to give birth around the 23-week mark of her pregnancy. Ricky was unable to move due to the heavy traffic, so he was forced to request an ambulance to bring her to safety.

When they arrived, the physician quickly began an ultrasound to check on the well-being of their unborn child. Once finished, the doctor blurted a phrase that utterly startled everyone present: “I have to call the police.”

The Cop Arrive

Naturally, Jolene and Ricky were taken aback by this information. Why did it become necessary for the police to become involved? What had the physician observed? And why wouldn’t the doctor share any information with them? The couple’s annoyance level increased as the situation progressed.

They only desired to remain informed about the situation. However, all they could do was wait for the arrival of the police. It did not take much longer before the cops showed up on the scene–and Ricky was put into question.

Questionable Pregnancy

The queries began in a manner that was not too out of the ordinary. They only inquired as to where they resided and what their names were–questions at the most fundamental level in order to better recognize them as individuals.

But when the police began to inquire about the pregnancy, the couple started to feel as though they had committed an offense. They inquired more about the couple’s whereabouts during the past few weeks. They found themselves in a rather peculiar circumstance.

Ricky Lashes Out

During the interrogation, Ricky made a comment he later subsequently regretted. He told the police, “Go and do your job, but leave me alone,” but they didn’t take kindly to this and took him in for interrogation.

It was only natural for Ricky to feel guilty about abandoning his pregnant wife, but he simply had no other option. And Jolene was not having a particularly positive reaction to all that was taking place either. Then, the doctor proceeded to tell her something that was even more alarming. Jolene wasn’t feeling too good about what was going on. And then the doctor told her something even more frightening.

The Need For Surgery

Her physician gave Jolene the news that in order to ensure the health of their unborn child, she would be required to undergo surgery. Although, he was unable to discuss the motivation behind the operation because the authorities had told him not to.

Jolene was confused about what was going on, but she was eventually persuaded to go through with the surgery because of the baby, despite the fact that she did not understand why she needed to go through with it because there was little information.

Inside The Interrogation Room

Ricky had just pulled up in front of the police station as Jolene was being taken to the surgery room. They questioned him further after placing him inside the interrogation room and continuing with their line of questioning.

The circumstances just served to infuriate Ricky further. Simply being with his wife was all he desired. The cops finally began to explain themselves a little bit in order for them to be able to remove him from the scenario as quickly as they possibly could.

Someone He Knew

The law enforcement officials brought in five suspects from the opposite portion of the window, each of whom was guilty of criminal activity. And Ricky was taken aback when he realized he had seen one before. And that particular individual was his physician!

They went to the same physician for all of their ultrasounds and checkups on their child’s health. Ricky was completely perplexed by whatever this entailed, so the police proceeded to explain the issue to him.

The Reason He Was Detained

Ricky was eventually informed of the reason he was detained. Jolene had, unbeknownst to her, received a medical chip from her doctor, which was later discovered. However, the gadget was not yet authorized for use in the United States, despite the fact that it was developed to control the essential medications for pregnant women.

It was a source of annoyance for Ricky that it had been concealed within the prescription medicines for Jolene, which had been acquired using his name.

How the Chip Was Implanted

Microchips are electronic devices that are implanted below the skin through injections. They can be so tiny that you can have them under your skin without knowing or feeling anything significant. This explains why Jolene had no idea that she had a microchip implanted in her.

Meanwhile, the doctor’s action of implanting a microchip in her without her consent is illegal. What would you have done if this was you?

Returning To His Wife

After the problem was settled, the police went with Ricky to assist him in getting back to the medical facility as quickly as possible. When he couldn’t locate Jolene in her room, he immediately went into a panic when he only found her doctor there.

The surgeon explained to him that he would soon perform a procedure to remove the chip, and he was instructed to follow the surgeon. Despite this, Ricky was still unaware of the status of the infant’s health.

Successful Operation

After learning whatever was going on and discovering that both his wife and their baby were unharmed, Ricky felt a sense of relief. Jolene’s back pain was probably caused by the illegal chip, but it would likely go away now that the chip has been removed. 

After the procedure was finished, Jolene was released from the hospital immediately. And assuming that everything continued going well with her health, she would be back when it was actually time to deliver the baby, which was just 15 weeks away.

A Baby Girl Was Born

Jolene went into labor at the 40-week mark and delivered a healthy baby girl whom they named Giulia. And it was definitely going to be an interesting tale for the new parents to share with their daughter when she got a little bit older.

Since Keola was able to recognize an alien object in her stomach, that encounter was most likely the last time anyone ever questioned the accuracy of her instincts. It turned out that she was quite a good horse.

The Beauty of the Animal-Human Bond

The depth of the bond between this couple and their horse is so beautiful to see. Horses are great at reading human emotions and their family-orientedness, perceptiveness, and amazing communication skills are impeccable, to say the least. Little wonder why Jolene and her husband chose a horse to fill their home with love and warmth as they awaited the birth of their child.

Generally, bonding with animals has positive effects on our emotional, mental and overall well-being. That’s amazing.

The Power of Instinct

Like we mentioned already, horses are very instinctive animals and humans have been able to use this quality to our advantage. For example, their instinctiveness has made them able to perform impressive acrobatic displays and be easy to train.

For us, one of the most beautiful benefits of their perceptiveness is their ability to detect danger even in humans like Keola did. We believe science should focus more attention on this.
