Sugar has it all figured out!

[-] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 27 points 3 weeks ago

She's a genius!

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 33 points 3 weeks ago

Good horse.

[-] coherent_domain@infosec.pub 22 points 3 weeks ago

I think horse sleep standing up?

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 31 points 3 weeks ago

Only sometimes; they still need to lie down for REM sleep.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 39 points 3 weeks ago

10 REM

20 sleep

30 GOTO 10

[-] perishthethought@piefed.social 36 points 2 weeks ago

That was a basic joke.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 weeks ago

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.

[-] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 40 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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.

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago

Just to point out, but we have a word for "silly horse doing silly things", it's "horse".

[-] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 weeks ago

All too true....

Just really big dogs who like to play

[-] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 7 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 weeks ago

They are... oddly sensitive in some ways, and incredibly resilient in others.

[-] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 2 points 2 weeks ago

kinda wish I had a horse. I hear they're expensive to maintain though.

[-] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 weeks ago

Can confirm.

Expensive every month, expensive to treat, expensive to shoe, expensive to house/feed/etc.

We are actually looking at property to do some farming, and a chunk of it will be for retired horses.

[-] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 3 points 2 weeks ago

love the enthusiasm! wish I could afford a farm.. and if I did have one I wouldn't bet on it.

[-] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

Well my wife is the one who knows her way around a farm, she'll be running it, and I'll be doing random manual labor as required.

Its been ridiculous finding the right property though... What used to be $300-400k only 3 years ago is now selling for over a million. Its nuts. So most likely going empty land and building cheap to start....

[-] matlag@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

In a wild area untouched by humans, there is not much "unwanted" you could get from grazing.

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

There is lots and lots of "unwanted" food that will kill a horse in most natural habitats through the world.

[-] the_tab_key@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Which they'll instinctively not eat

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

I really don't know where you are going with this. They don't go out eating plastics and whatever either. They get sick because they've eaten something contaminated (what happens way more often on the wild) or because they failed to distinguish the food (what also happens way more often on the wild).

[-] Maiq@lemy.lol 21 points 2 weeks ago

Horses do really well without humans.

BLM estimates there are around 33338 wild horses in Nevada alone.

[-] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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.

[-] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 7 points 2 weeks ago

that's a pretty accurate number for an estimate

[-] howrar@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 weeks ago
[-] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

that's the one! could be accurate too

Lesbian horse girls+gambling, what could go wrong?

[-] Adori@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Just lay down to sleep with em

Easy way to get dead

They should change her name to Diabeetus

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago
