You Need To See These Cute Animals - Horse, Pony and Dog With Unique Matching Spots

Meet the horse, dog and pony who are all the best of friends and look identical - despite them not even being the same species.

Horse trainer Greetje Arends-Hakvoort has three identical looking pets - one Appaloosa stallion, one Shetland pony and one Dalmatian dog - all of which showcase their stunning black spots.

Despite their size differences, the three animals love to play together, with owner Greetje regularly catching them running, training, and having fun together.

Mother-of-one Greetje, 35, adores taking the animals out with her seven-year-old daughter Jolie Lune Arends, who loves riding the Shetland pony - to the amazement of passers by.

Appaloosa stallion Nevada, 10, Shetland pony Napoleon, six, and Dalmatian Jack Sparrow, two, are the best of friends and love wowing strangers with their unique matching spots.

Greetje, from Kootwijkerbroek, The Netherlands, said: “I have always wanted a Dalmatian dog and I love spotted horses so two of my wishes came together in a special way.”

“Napoleon was actually born at the same time as Jolie so they grew up together and now they are the best of friends. People always smile when they see the three together; often people refer to the 101 Dalmatians film and it brings up nice childhood memories for them”, she added.

“When Jack was younger, he saw himself as one of the horses and he fits in perfectly. Trust is the key word here; horses thrive when trust exists and they need to feel comfortable and self assured and Jack does exactly that”, she continued.

“There's a lot of horse and dog love there between them.We have even more spots here now as the family is growing! We have three other horses and training them is my passion.”

How Much Does It Really Cost to Start a Catfish Farm in Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt in 2025?

After the Nigerian government hinted at a possible ban on fish importation , my inbox began to fill with a familiar question from would-be fish farmers in Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt: “Can I start a catfish farm now and do it for less?” It’s a timely concern. With import restrictions looming and demand for locally raised fish climbing, 2025 could be a turning point for Nigeria’s aquaculture industry. But while the opportunity is real, the path to profitability depends on where you set up, how lean your operations are, and whether you can balance cost-cutting with quality production. A Market on the Edge of Change Nigeria needs an estimated 3.2 million metric tonnes of fish annually. Yet local production meets barely 30% of that demand. The rest comes from imports mainly mackerel, sardines, and tilapia; worth over ₦500 billion annually. A potential import ban would create an immediate supply gap, and catfish is perfectly positioned to fill it. Already a staple in Nigerian homes and...

The Best Fish Feed in Nigeria for Catfish: Why Quality Matters

A few months ago, I visited a fish farm run by an ambitious aquapreneur who had high hopes for his homemade fish feed. His pond was large, his vision clear: this feed would cut costs, boost growth, and drive profitability. But within a week, disaster struck. Fish floated belly-up. Growth stalled. The numbers didn’t add up. The problem wasn’t the fish. It was the feed. The catfish were growing exactly as they were fed: poorly. Just as fish can’t flourish on empty calories, a farm can’t succeed on subpar feed. The right nutrition makes the difference between a thriving business and a sinking investment. In Nigeria’s competitive catfish farming industry, choosing the best feed isn’t just about cost, it’s about protein content, digestibility, floatability, and growth performance. The wrong feed leads to stunted growth, higher mortality, and lost profits. The right one maximizes yield, health, and market value. In this article, we’ll explore:...
