The Miniature Horses

I frequently find the two horses asleep on the hay inside the barn, especially on hot days. Blue was in an particularly cute pose on this day:

I tacked up a mineral salt block for the horses, though the cows use it also. There's also a big, cow sized salt block but it's much more fun for the cows to use someone else's:

I walked into the barn one day and found Remy on his side with his legs stuck between the bars of the gates. I began to worry about how to rescue him but quickly realized that he was just playing. He'd roll one way to extricate himself and then the other way, intentionally locking his legs in the bars once again. He was just having fun:
