The art of keeping cool

 

As in the siesta: “Getting up early, working productively in the morning, and taking a siesta at midday is a concept that we should adopt in the summer months.” NYT

The sacred Spanish siesta, once mocked as lazy by other European countries, is being adopted in places like Germany as the climate heats up.

You can also take a siesta in the shadow of a good pal. Since I saw him last, Napoleon has made friends with Wally, an amiable 29 year old gelding (the mares still can't stand the little bugger.)

Nova rode Ginger this morning then treated her to a cool shower.

I've been at this barn now in every season now, and summer is pure horse heaven.
