Time to Clean


It was time to clean the corral again.

Ranger the bonehead mustang is convinced that when I think I am scraping manure, that actually I am CHASING HIM WITH THE TRACTOR.  And sure enough, he runs in a half panic just ahead of me, and I drive in circles just behind him.  For a half an hour.

"Hey, Juanita!  Why don't you come over and see if you can get pictures of Ranger freaking out?" 

I fired up the tractor and headed into the coral.



Ranger ran over behind Juanita and hid. 
And hid.


And hid.


And hid.
And hid some more.



I got to make a half dozen passes without him running ahead of me, until Juanita got bored and went back to the lodge.

Then... OH NO HE'S CHASING ME WITH THE TRACTOR!  And round and round we went.  Pictures aren't too good as I was focusing on  driving in circles scraping manure trying to run down a horse at 3 miles an hour.
HALP!  BEEL'S CHASUN ME WITH THE TRACTER!




None of the other horses much care as long as Ranger isn't chasing them away from the horse eating tractor.





Bonehead.

  1. And you know the entire time he is yelling, "MOM! MOM! MOM! COME SAVE ME! CRAZY A$$ BEEL IS AT IT AGAIN!! HAAAAALLLLPP!!!"


    They say that animals take after their owners over time there, Beel. You think maybe this is a sign?

    *I'm ducking now*

  2. At one point, Ranger actually had his head pushed up against my back, until Jesse chased him away from me, but can you blame him? It's a mighty scary looking tractor...Beel!

  3. Well at least yours are running away from you. Last time we drug the corral the 2 yr old kept pace, then started bucking & kicking at his new playmate! Where's the camera when you need it

  6. Are you saying you are a bonehead? LOL.

    I love the way he hides behind a trusted friend. My mustang does that too. Cracks me up.
