I went out to feed the horses, and since the wind was blowing, I wasn't too surprised that the horses weren't standing right by the feeder. They were all standing out in the middle of the field. Ranger was particularly bug-eyed.
"What's up guys? Not hungry? Still a quarter bale of hay left from this morning!"
"Monster nesting in the food, Beel!"
"What's that, Ranger? I can't hear you over the wind."
"MONSTER! LOOK OUT BEEL! IT'S RIGHT NEXT TO YOU!"
I dropped the new bale into the feeder. And pulled out a sheet of tar paper that had blown into the feeder.
"This monster Ranger?"
"LOOK OUT BEEL! IT'S GOT YOUR ARM!"
"I'll take it away buddy. Just go eat."
Okay, I'll admit it did look a lot more fierce with the wind making it rear up.
Dopes.

Many less wise horses have been eaten by those things. Just sayin.

Ha. How about an Albertson's sack? The other day I had bucking broncs and usually they are used to crazy things like that.
ReplyDeleteThey were ok after I brought out carrots from those scary things.
A-horse to that, Smokes.

Oh BEEL, you're so brave!
ReplyDeleteI confess, when I first saw it, I jumped a bit too... Thank goodness you were there to save the day! Phew, crisis averted!
ReplyDeleteSending best healing wishes to Juanita!
They must think you're pretty tough now, killing that monster and all. Horses are great.
ReplyDeletemy quad just doesn't have any personality.. Beel,, it wouldn't even batted a blinker at that monster....:0)
ReplyDeletejust saying......
Mr. Daddy... your quad would have sucked that up the exhaust pipe and started smoking everywhere.
ReplyDeleteOh wait... that's what you did to the RHINO...
As much as you jest, my horse has never caught fire.
Thank you for saving Ranger, Beel.
Yah know, you might be on to somthing. I'll swap you my (fake) coonskin cap that was drug in by the cat this summer for your tar paper. Just think how desensitized our horses will be by spring! :)
ReplyDeleteLOL that's too funny and true also!
