My visit with Chrome’s band was a late-afternoon sweet hour in the sunshine.
And if some of us enjoyed the sunshine’s warmth with eyes closed, who could blame us?
Little mister Killian was lying down when I first walked out to them. Winona laid down beside him – that’s the top pic. Terra and Hayden were standing to the side, faces to the sun.
Terra’s eyes closed; Hayden’s at half-mast.
Chrome’s in dreamland; ‘Nona’s keeping a sleepy eye on me. This was before she laid down beside Killian.
Wake-up time. The other horses had moved off, grazing – except mama Roja, partially seen in the background. Killian shares this funny sort of stretch with big brother Ze, who had already left the family when Killian was born.
He looked at me for just a few moments, then trotted off to his compadres (not mama, interestingly).
Terrific Terra – don’t you love her face? Those amber eyes?
Classic Chrome!

Sleepy in the sunshine.
As always, very nice photos Chromes relaxed band.
I have a soft spot for sleeping horses, especially when they are lying down.
The pic of Chrome in dreamland with Winona nearby; shows the part of the life of a band stallion that some others don’t as often show.
Indeed. And yet they spend a lot of time just this relaxed and calm. I love them napping, too!
Makes me want to go out and lay in the sun, with eyes at half-mast. Unfortunately, I don’t haven’t the benefit of an all-over furry coat!
What fabulous pictures you are getting. Such softness in their faces, such expression. I love it!
We’re all such creatures of the sun. 🙂
