“As members of a herd, they’re able to relax because one horse acts as a sentinel, standing guard while the rest snooze.” – Practical Horseman
Or, if you’re Kolka, you sort of keep guard while eating, because it is all a matter of priorities.
And she did her very best, honest, and I feel sure that if a leopard or whatever crept up to eat the others, Kolka would’ve given her everything to protect everyone….. sort of (ooh, look, a nice blade of grass!)
The weather has been exhausting so it was lovely to see the old men snoozing. You can almost hear the farts and the snoring (and with Iacs, there would definitely be farts – he is legendary).
I am not very good at creeping up, and so when Haakon noticed me then that was it. He was up. I might have chocolate cake about my person. I didn’t.
Meanwhile, Iacs went on Zzzz……ing.
…. and, once awake, he was pulling silly faces yawning.
That’s better. Now they all look like a sensible herd of horses. Well done Kolka. She has the old men sorted. I hope they stand guard for her.
Well done, Kolta! keeping all the leopards away from the pile of snoozing gents. How else can a girl eat her bucket without mauraders?
It seems to me that in the short time you have had Kolka she has proven time and time again that it is best to have a female in charge.
I think you’re absolutely correct!
Happy, contented boys; lovely pictures!
Loved this today! Thank you for this little blog. I start my day peacefully with your little slice of life.
They all look so sweet when they’re laying on the ground asleep.
