B- Ranger! Jesse! Washoe! Come on guys! We have to move y'all to another pasture!
B- Thanks Washoe. Got your halter/lead rope on and you're ready to go. Jesse, You're next. Thank you Jesse. You're good to go. Okay Ranger, you are next.
R- No.
B- What "no"? We need to move you to another pasture!
R- No Beel.
B- Awww, come on buddy. The guy that owns this mountain side says he's got a couple neighbors that are worrying about you horses being outside in the snow all of the time.
R- Are they crazy Beel?
B- No, Ranger. It's not really their fault. They just don't know much about horses. They are worried you don't have a barn to hide in, and we aren't giving you hay every day.
R- Beel. Many trees grow out of the dirt here so we can hide there. The grass grows out of the dirt here and we eat it. This is a good place. So no.
B- Now darn it, the folks see you standing outside all day. They think you will be cold.
R- Go catch the deers. Go catch the elks. Go catch the moosemonsters. They might be cold. Leave me here.
B- Awww Ranger, now you have riled Jesse up and she's running off with you, dragging her lead rope.
R- Good bye Beel.
B- Ranger, dog gone it! We have guests showing up at the lodge this afternoon. I don't want to spend all day tracking you two through knee deep snow! Just stop moving!
R- No.
B- STOP RUNNING!
R- No.
B- You jerk.

B- Your mother was a dope. Your father was a dope. And if you have any siblings, they're dopes, too.

B- We can see where you're going, you two. Your foot prints kinda stand out.

B- I'm cold and wet.

B- I wish I had a barn.

B- Alright, we've been after you knot heads for 45 minutes now, wading through snow drifts on the mountain side, and Juanita finally spotted you two standing in the trees fifty feet away from us. Just STAND STILL!
R- No Beel.
B- Look, Ranger. Jesse went to Juanita. Jesse is a good horse. Just wait for me a minute. Come on, buddy, please?
R- Okay Beel.
B- Jeeze. 'Bout time. Okay, now we get to walk back. Can you hear Washoe hollering? I'll bet he's tired of just sanding in the trailer.
R- The kid is noisy.
B- Wait. We are still following y'alls tracks. You went almost all the way out to the trailer, and then turned around and came BACK to us?!?
R- You were very slow. We had the time.
B- Great. Load up.

B- Okay buddy, this is your new pasture. It's down out of the mountains. Flat and grassy.
R- It is hot here Beel.
Ah, Ranger is so funny. How do you stand it?
ReplyDeleteLOL. Point made. I love it. I often got told the same thing and I had Morgans. Why don't you put blankets on them, they said. I said, they will get sick and die because they will lose their winter coat and get sweaty, I said. Why don't you feed them more, they said. I said, I feel them the proper amount of food and extra when it is really cold. They are healthy, no skin and bones here. Why don't you put shoes on your horses, they said. I said, they don't need them for the work I do or pleasure riding. They are not on asphalt all day and the rocky hard ground keeps their hooves trimmed down and less to maintain, plus they are sure footed mountain horses. You are cruel, they said. I said, yes, yes, I am. LOL. Don't you love it?
ReplyDeleteLove you, Momma!
