Yesterday we put the roof on the run-in shelter and today we spent most of the day playing with the horses. Both Waldo and Cleo got a good workout and after dinner Cleo got a bit sleepy and laid down for a while.

Clearly, Cleo is feeling pretty relaxed and a bit sleepy from a good workout on a warm summer day. Most horses never lay down during the day, but Walking Horses sometimes will do that. The only time I have previously seen a horse snooze in the pasture was in Iceland – those Icelandic Ponies do that all the time. But to sit next to a full size hose that’s sacked out in the pasture is a weird and very cool experience.
