Nap Time, All The Time

Today was our first flat/dressage school at the new place, since yesterday's intro hack went so well.  But of course I showed up at the wrong time, because Sleeps was fast (you guessed it) asleep. Like...OUT. COLD.

This is Not A Drill!

 It's hot out this week, and both Soon and I are anti-heat so basically we both want to curl up in front of a fan and just pass out when it's above 85 degrees.  Which is nothing to our Southern readers, but for us Northern types...no.  Just, no.

I went in the stall and normally that wakes him up, but today there were Zero Fucks Given.  I actually had to work a little bit to get him going.

"YOU LOVE DRESSAGE LET'S GO DO THE THING"

I took advantage of the coma to take this super flattering photo of Nap Lip and post it on the Internet

So I eventually got him woken up enough to come out on the crossties, but 30 seconds afterward he did the "But I have to peeeeeeee" pose and we went right back in the stall for him to do his thing.  He even peed slow for Heaven's sake.  Draaaaaaaagged him back out on the crossties and he assumed The Position.

In which he can't even stand on three or more legs

Me:  "YAY THOROUGHBRED WE'RE GONNA TO GO RIDE ARE YOU EXCITED TO GO RIDE?"
Horse: 

[IN A COMA]

You would never have guessed this horse just got to the farm...we did actually managed to gain enough consciousness not only to walk outside, but to actually trot and canter with all four legs going in the same direction in some semblance of forward and swinging.  It was a short ride and not great on our Scale of Awesomeness, but good enough all things considered.  I swear the whole time we were walking and trotting he was just saying:

After our somewhat awake!canter, we took another quick stroll and enjoyed the scenery before I hosed him down multiple times and put him away in front of his fan.  He was happy to return to his hay now that his coma was over and his slumber had been sufficiently interrupted. Good day. :)

Pretty.  Pretty sleepy.
