Despite their contrasting colors, they actually share similar backgrounds, as they both are from Europe — the white one hails from the Netherlands while the black one comes from France.

The two horses are also valuable, given that the black horse is a crossbreed that has won various competitions across China, while the white one has a whopping 400,000 yuan ($60,264) price tag.

The pair’s trainer, Zhang Yi, mentioned that each of the exotic horses are required to spend 45 minutes exercising on a daily basis, according to China Daily. This regimen leaves plenty of time for them to enjoy each other’s company while not training.
