Cuddly horse? Mayhap? Is horse asking for cuddle time? Can I pet the dog?
Just lay down to sleep with em
TIL: the Jim Rose circus is still around. 👍
They should change her name to Diabeetus
Sugar has it all figured out!
She’s a genius!
Good horse.
That’s a nice lion. Let her sleep.
I think horse sleep standing up?
Only sometimes; they still need to lie down for REM sleep.
10 REM
20 sleep
30 GOTO 10
That was a basic joke.
Yeah this is probably unhealthy.
Also humans care for horses. Same with any animal that has been domesticated over the last 10,000 years. It sucks, but without us they might have a difficult time.
Horses do really well without humans.
BLM estimates there are around 33338 wild horses in Nevada alone.
There is also the Chincoteague pony herd, which is a wild herd on the Assateague island off the coast of MD & VA. The herd has been established for almost 300 years since they swam off the wrecked Spanish galleon La Galga in 1750.
that’s a pretty accurate number for an estimate
*precise
that’s the one! could be accurate too
Its perfectly healthy.
Aside from a deeper sleep, horses will lay down for a lot of reasons. The important part to note is horses are prey animals, so they have evolved to do a lot while upright. Laying down is actually a big sign of feeling safe, and something they may do in fields with other horses they get along with, in a stall if the bedding feels good to them and there is enough room, etc.
The problems are when they are unwilling or unable to get up, that can be a sign of anything from an injury to sickness or a neurological issue.
My wife is the knowledgeable one, this is just s bit of what ive picked up.l
Edit: wife says if the description is accurate, just a silly horse being silly, and since Sugar looks well cared for… yeah just a silly horse doing silly horse things.
Just to point out, but we have a word for “silly horse doing silly things”, it’s “horse”.
All too true…
Just really big dogs who like to play
and from what I hear will keel over and die any chance they get. I’m no expert though. but not being able to throw unwanted ingested items seems like a pretty big design flaw
In a wild area untouched by humans, there is not much “unwanted” you could get from grazing.
They are… oddly sensitive in some ways, and incredibly resilient in others.
Umamusume inclusion when?
Lesbian horse girls+gambling, what could go wrong?
Off to the glue factory.
But first to the sausage factory!

Stable owners hate this one simple trick.
