Best Friend: Harriet's closest friend and companion happens to be a bat named Taro. Not long after the colts' birth, Taro had managed to wedge his way into the barn stall that held him and his mother. In his frenzy to escape the horses that were just as terrified- if not more- than him, his wing had torn on a hook that was meant for hanging bridles up on the wall. The commotion signaled the stable-hands and they'd found Harriet, still as wobbly-legged as a colt can be, trying to come to the bat's aid. They caretakers had needed to move him out of the stall in order to reach Taro, and over the next several weeks, with the help of a nearby zoo veterinarian, Taro was nursed back to health. However, when they tried to release him back into the wild they were hit with a surprising obstacle, as Taro was just as reluctant to leave as Harriet had been on the night they'd left. The caretakers didn't have the heart to get rid of him after that, and his presence even began to grow on them, seeing the dark figure perched atop the nose or back of the friendly little colt when he trot up to greet them every morning. There are even the rare occurrences where he'll land himself onto the ledge connected to the stall door and approach the humans, but he's always quick to settle back with the colt.
