Snowy weather almost always brings out the snoozies in the wild ponies. When I took this pic of Madison and Temple napping, there was another napping-on-the-ground horse to the right and THREE others, all lying down, to the left. Two of those three were standing when I first approached, but they ended up lying down with the others, leaving only the lieutenant stallion standing-napping a fairly close distance away.
I’d walked out to them, then to another band a bit farther away, and I took this pic as I was headed back to the road. In the mud, it wasn’t as easy a hike as on dry ground. Why not join them? It was a good time and excuse to stretch out and take a nap among friends. 🙂

Happy contented Wild Horses! Nice to see that.
Yes, it is. 🙂
I love how relaxed they are around you. Looks like you were lying on the ground too when you took this :). Dreadfully dry here too. Good hiking but would rather be playing on the snow !
We were all at a low ebb of energy. It was very peaceful. 🙂 Maybe the coming extreme cold will bring some snow?
If there’s one thing a “snowy” day is good for, it’s a cozy nap! All the lovely ladies certainly have the right idea…including you, TJ! 😁
You got that right! 🙂
How cute! Everyone needs a nap sometime!
I do love a good nap – especially out on the land with the sun shining. 🙂
Good to see th
