If I bring him home, do you think I could get an NRHA competition license for this guy??
We did some reining training on our camels during our ride across the Gobi Desert here in Mongolia! As always, it was quite the adventure and I'll share videos and photos soon.
I head home to Texas on Saturday and will be catching up on replying to texts, emails, and messages by Monday if not sooner. New sale horses are scheduled to come in so we'll be posting them just as soon as we have had time to evaluate and video them.
Me : Hey Karen, what are you up to?
Cluckin' Karen : I'm tanning these sexy chicken legs of mine.
Me : Well, be careful, it's supposed to get over 100 degrees today. We don't need you to become a fried chicken.
Cluckin' Karen : No worries, I'm heading for the shade now.
Me : Don't go too far. I have lot's of new sale horses in that we need to take photos of. It's going to be a busy week!

Me : BEAVIS! BUTTHEAD! Where are you? Remember today is a photoshoot day and you're supposed to be helping!
...meanwhile on the other side of the barn
Butthead : Hey Beavis, did you know there is grass in the sky?!!
Beavis : You're kidding me, right?
Butthead : I kid you not, and it's delicious as well!
Beavis : Looks like it makes you get high, hehe he hehe.

Cluckin’ Karen wanted to share some thoughts with Elon Musk about Twitter. She says why would people want to ‘tweet’ when they can ‘cluck’ instead. Therefor she thinks Musk should change his newly acquired ‘Twitter' to the name of ‘Cluckin’. Karen says that the name fits better with all the ‘squawking’ people like to do on the platform. She highly supports the rights to “Freedom to Screech”.
If you agree with Karen then type “Keep On Cluckin', Karen” in the comments. While you all egg her on I’m going to go find some ear plugs.
Beavis : Check it out…Attila is working on making us Easter eggs!
Butthead : Hey Attila, get cracking would you.
Attila the Hen : How dare you tell me how to do my job! (Flys out of nest) NO EGGS FOR YOU!!!
Butthead : Sheesh, what an egg nazi. Check her bunghole for eggs Beavis.
Beavis : Nope, nothing. No wonder there is an egg shortage. These chicks are moody mother cluckers!
#cluckinkaren
Me : Karen, what the heck are you up to now?
Cluckin Karen : Check this out…I’m teaching the kids to do tricks! Beavis, lay down. Good, now crawl. Excellent!!!
Me : I’m impressed!
Cluckin Karen : Now Butthead, jump up here. Whoops, try again. Good job!
(Flies from her perch) That’s all I got. There’s only so much you can teach to horny hard headed kids.
Me : Well you just proved that you are the ringleader of this crazy circus.
Cluckin Karen : It was an im-peck-able performance if I do say so myself.
#cluckinkaren
Beavis : Look, I got her ears up! Take the picture! Take the picture!
Me : Beavis, that’s not a sale horse…that’s a Brahman cow.
Beavis : Butthead told me this was a sale horse?
Butthead : He he, and you believed my bull! April Fools!!! He he he
Beavis : I’m going to pulverize you!!!
*Head butting ensues for the rest of the day*
#cluckinkaren
Me : Hey Karen, my horse lost a shoe. Come help me do an Easter Egg hunt for it please?
Cluckin Karen : Sure thing! I bet it’s over here in these leaves.
Me : No Karen, it happened while I was riding him. It will be somewhere in the arena.
Cluckin Karen : No, I reeeeaaallly think it’s over here in these leaves. I’ve got an 'Eagle Eye' for this kind of thing.
Me : Fine, suit yourself. I’m going to look in the arena.
Cluckin Karen : You know, I don’t think it’s here after all. Maybe you should eggs-plore the arena.
Me : Thanks. You’ve been so much help as usual.
#cluckinkaren
Me : Ok Butthead, let’s see you set up this horse for his photo shoot
Butthead : Totally got this. I’ll just push this foot back into place…just a little more…and straighten out his head…Dude, how’s this???
Cluckin Karen : (In the background spying) Not too shabby kid.
Horse takes a step
Butthead : Ah man, he moved. This horse is a bunghole!! I hate photo shoot days.
Me : Says you and every assistant trainer out there. Ok, we’ll finish later because I need to run to Walmart.
Butthead : What for?
Me : We need to get you some pool noodles for your horns since you are getting so ‘helpful’.
Butthead : Hey Beavis, we’re gonna have a pool party!!! He he, he he he…
Beavis : Cool, we'll have Karen invite all the hot chicks! He he he, he he…

Me : Hey Karen, how are the horses this morning?
Cluckin' Karen : They all look good to me.
Me : Ok, I'm on my way to the barn now. We need to put blankets back on.
Cluckin' Karen : Say what??? It was 85 degrees yesterday!
Me : Yes I know, but it's turning to snow and ice later today.
Cluckin' Karen : But I just packed up my down jacket. I thought spring had arrived!
Me : You really have a down jacket? Don't you know those are made of feathers?
Cluckin' Karen : What the cluck?!! I'll dig out my wool sweater instead.
Me : A hen in sheep's clothing...nice
Me : Hey kids, since Cluckin’ Karen is still on sick leave I need you to help with a photo shoot. Butthead, come hold this horse for me.
Butthead : Cool, I got this!
Me : Good, I just need a profile shot. Just hold the horse still.
Butthead : Dude, I totally got this!
Me : No, no, no…not a front shot. Move the horse back and set him up for a profile shot.
Butthead : DUDE, I so got this!
Me : Well, you sure are making it harder than it should be.
Beavis : Hey Butthead, she said ‘hard’
Beavis & Butthead : Heh heh, heh, heh heh
Me : You two are lucky that I have such tolerant horses.
**Tune in to our sale group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/181943859224827. New horses will be posted soon...including this good minded 3 yr old gelding in the video**
I mentioned to Cluckin’ Karen that we were about done with sales for the year and would be closing our doors for a brief holiday vacation next week.
Karen took my words a bit too literally and slammed the barn door closed on the kids. She stated that there would be no more need for goats helping with pictures as she herself is 'The G.O.A.T.' when it comes to getting ears up for sale horse photo shoots.
Hopefully Karen’s fowl temper will cool off with a holiday break. In the meantime, Beavis and Butthead are looking forward to eating a lot of holiday wrapping paper on Christmas day!
We’ll have a few open stalls after Christmas break so message us if you are interested in our sale program.

Cluckin’ Karen held a ranch meeting today in order to try putting the goats in their pecking order at the ranch. The talk turned into quite the kerfuffle.
Karen chastised the kids for their poor performance during their first week of work. Beavis got the grunt of Karen's heckling since he had slept in and didn’t even show up to work on his first day. Karen got on to him about his responsibilities around the ranch including keeping his work space clean. Beavis bowed up to Karen’s orders so Karen got a little physical and gave him a smack down!
We have since reminded Karen that there can be no physical scoldings used on employees, but she still claims that he deserved it and that all millennials need a good spanking. One thing is for sure…Karen has some serious ninja skills so don’t piss her off!!!
Butthead was quick to get out of her way as she finished her rounds and ended the meeting.
Onward to some photo shoots today so we can get the last of our horses posted for our last minute Christmas shoppers

Wow, what a week we have had with preparing and selling horses that came in prior to the Futurity. We sold 7 horses within a weeks time!!! Cluckin’ Karen says she is completely eggshausted from all the overtime she is putting in. When I mentioned that we will have another surge of horses coming up after the futurity she about plucked her feathers out. We decided that we better hire some part time help for the holiday rush to keep Karen’s bird brain sane.
Luckily we were able to find a couple of kids to help out. Meet Beavis and Butthead! Beavis is jumping with joy to get to help with ‘ears up’ sale photos. We’ll put them to work next week and see how this goes. Karen will still be supervising as she doesn’t believe that a couple of young bucks can handle such important work.
#cluckinkaren
Me : Good morning Karen. What are you doing in the muck bucket?
Karen : Hiding from your crappy holiday.
Me : I told you that there is nothing to worry about. Chickens aren’t on the Thanksgiving menu.
Karen : But I heard there is a turkey shortage?!!
Me : Ok, well stay low today if it makes you feel better. Happy Thanksgiving!
Karen : Bite me
Those of us at Spin City Reiners (even Cluckin’ Karen) would like to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving holiday and good luck to those participating at the NRHA Futurity!
Also be watching our sale group tomorrow as we will be posting several 'Black Friday' specials!!! https://www.facebook.com/groups/181943859224827
#cluckinkaren
We informed Cluckin’ Karen that she could have a couple days off next week for Thanksgiving and she inquired, “What is this holiday?” She was intrigued until we went into a little too much detail about ‘stuffing turkeys’. You would have thought there was a fox in the henhouse as Karen panicked and tried to exit through a closed door. She then turned hysterical, blaming us for fattening her up so she couldn’t escape. We think we have her calmed down now assuring her that chickens are pardoned on this holiday. Hopefully she will still turn up for work as we have numerous new sale horses that we are preparing for photo shoots soon!

Good news!!! After resting up from her Halloween adventures, Cluckin Karen is dusting herself off to help with sale pictures this week. That means new sale horses will soon be posted on Spin City Reiners Group! Be sure to keep an eye on our group by clicking on this link -> https://www.facebook.com/groups/181943859224827

Eggciting news! After sitting down with Cluckin Karen to scratch out a new contract, she has agreed to continue helping with our photo shoots of sale horses. Her demands included having free range over the ranch, title of 'Queen of the Roost', and riding lessons. Wait, what??? Riding lessons? Yes, Cluckin Karen has decided that she can have the best birds eye view of everything going on around her from atop of a mighty steed. She had her first lesson over the weekend and no feathers went flying so we consider it a success!
#cluckinkaren
Cluckin Karen was informed today that we have more photo shoots coming up this week and that she is expected to help with getting ears up. She's still squawking about the fondling and sniffing that happened during the last session. Karen decided to have a meeting with the horses to inform them that she did not appreciate how they treat her. We don't think she accomplished much during her meeting as she used a lot of fowl language and we are still unsure if she will be willing to lend us a wing during our next shoot.
