It’s a dog, and pony show like you may not have seen before. A miniature 12-year-old gelding named Hot Fudge Sundae, or Fudge, and Skye the Great Dane are best buddies. Appearing side-by-side, one might mistake the dog for a horse or vice versa.

Fudge, also known as the “Barn Clown,” is “31 inches of fun,” says Texan owner Ilonka. In 2020, Skye met Fudge for the first time. At first, the puppy was sheepish about the horse and even the family cat. As the runt of his litter, she was relatively small for her age.

“She was terrified of the horses when she was a puppy and would even hide her face in my neck while I tried to introduce her,” Ilonka told PEOPLE.

Skye is Obsessed with Fudge and Hexe

Eventually, that fear eventually gave way to obsession, as Skye now loves being near Fudge. It might have something to do with the fact that you can hardly tell them apart now? Or, maybe that’s a coincidence and they share kindred souls.

Interestingly, both animals stand 31 inches tall from the ground to their shoulders. However, Fudge is a bit heavier, weighing around 180 pounds compared to Skye at 108 pounds. It’s the perfect size for cuddles and lots of them.

“Now, she always wants to hug them, especially the mini horses like Fudge because they’re the perfect size for her.”

Although the ponies are relatively small, they have huge personalities, which is why Ilanka called them her “mini monsters.” When average-height horses see Fudge, they can be spooked and hardly believe their eyes.

We wonder what they must think when seeing the horses alongside Skye?

Amusingly, Ilonka snuck Fudge home in 2017 while her husband was out of town. While he was away, she kept it a secret by choosing a clever name.

“He was out of town for a couple of days with our son, so I packed up my two dogs at the time and drove five hours to get Fudge,” she said. “I spoke to him on the phone and told him I had gone on a little road trip and got myself a hot fudge sundae. He had no idea I wasn’t talking about the dessert until he returned home and saw the new horse.”

Now, the horse and dog duo is world-famous and seen in viral TikToks by Ilonka as “TheCre8iveChick.” Although the Instagram pictures are amazing, the videos of this perfectly-matched pair are a pure delight. Ilonka shared the video below, showing Skye and Fudge side by side. 

“My God I want to take them home! We can put ’em in the truck!” says a most excited fan.

So do we!

🤍🖤 A Love Affair Between Dog and Horse 🖤🤍

In another TikTok, we see these two absolutely adore one another. It’s too cute for words as they nuzzle one another. 

“These 2 can’t get enough of each other ❤️,” says the caption.

As tight as Skye and Fudge are, she also loves the other ponies, including Hexe. Maybe, dogs and horses are much more in common than one would think?

“I think horses and dogs are very similar in general, and these two are the same. Skye and Fudge love to work and train together,” Ilanka said. “They would be bored if they were just in the backyard grazing and are always looking forward to doing something together.”
