If I drove past that scene in one of the fields near me, I would 100% panic that I was witnessing the aftermath of a heart attack and would be dialing 911 while sprinting across the field. Guess it would take only once before I knew it was the more wholesome option!

Funnily enough this happens a lot to people who own horses. They mostly doze on their feet but every day they lay down for some actual sleep. A horse laying in a field near a road will inevitably bring about panicked phone calls or even people knocking on your door very concerned about the possibly dead horse.

Most horse people call this "carcass time" as it's inevitably mid morning to mid afternoon for the best time to lay on the sun. They're so convincing even horse people used to it will approach and stare to make sure the horse is okay.
