Bobaluie Day 18-24

Whew, this week has been pretty busy.  Louie has been quite the rockstar!  He has worked on loading in the trailer, and is practicing sending. Also, yesterday he got his first mini trim on his feet! Everyday he amazes us.  What a little trooper!

Monumental Mustang Moment

Today we had a monumental mustang moment! Mom decided that Louie needed to be clean shaven. What?! Seriously? You want to use clippers on a mustang that has only been with us for two weeks? Should I have even worried?  The answer to that is...NO. He looks so handsome now. She said he had a few snorty minutes but then just relaxed and let her clip away.

 

Also, I thought I would share an awesome picture of the house.  How beautiful are the steps. Happy Fall Yall!

Heart Attack City!

Holy Moly, I about had a small heart attack today when I went to feed.  This is what I see when I get to the barn...

This is not good.  Why are you in the barn little man??? And how did you get there?  I go into the barn and this is what I find..

What happened?  The only thing we can figure out, is that Louie's gate was left open and Gunner made his evening miserable.  Poor little guy.  He has some bumps and scrapes but is fine otherwise.  Thank goodness things were not worse.  But in pure Bobalouie style by the end of the evening he was back to his curious self and was trying to join me in the chicken pen.  Silly boy!

 

Louie Day 5

Day 5... Louie and Mom took a walk outside the pen today! He was a champ! We even went to the obstacle course and let him walk over some of the ground obstacles.  He never even hesitated.  Bobalouie is a rockstar!!

Here is a video of his awesome obstacle work!

Louie day 4

October 13,

Day 4... we had some pretty big storms and high wind all day today.  Mom decided to move Louie to the other side of the barn.  But for this to happen we had to walk through the barn. WHAT?! So he had to go into the stall ( has never been IN a stall), step over the threshold and walk down the concrete walk way.  He acted like he has been walking down the aisle his whole life.

 And he decided that this whole in the stall thing is pretty great!

Louie Day 3

October 12

Today is day 3.  Mom got Louie's halter on for the first time!  He was a little unsure but decided that it was really no big deal.

It's Mustang Day!

Thursday, Oct 9

Its Mustang day! We finally get to go to Paul's Valley OK to pick up Bobalouie! And Linda is getting to pick up One Eyed Jack!

We are so excited!!! Bobalouie is an 18 mo gelding from Salt Wells Creek WY.  Jack is a 3 yo from Paisley Desert.  We adopted these guys from the BLM online adoption. 

This is the first time we got to see them...

Can you say love at first sight? I can't wait to see what these guys will do!

Welcome to the Ranch

Hi!  Welcome to Flying 5 Ranch. I wanted to start this blog to document things that go on around our crazy house.  Trust me, you can't make up the weird/wild things that go on over here.

So first, let me tell you a little about us. "The House" is actually my parents' house.  I live on the property too, just on the other side.  We have 3, soon to be 4 horses, 6 dogs ( 2 boxers, 2 mini dachshunds, a blue heeler, and a Tabernacle mutt dog), 11 chickens and 4 barn cats.

So stay tuned to get to meet all the crew and find out what is going on around here!
