Addicted to your auction videos. I've been riding for 10+ years at this point and I don't own any horses, but I'm hoping in the next few years I'll feel educated enough to purchase one. After watching probably three or four of your videos I already feel much more informed on what to look for, conformation etc. Thank you so much!

Have you ever heard of Paso Fino horses they’re gated horses

Meant to be. Bought a gelding that turned out to be the mare you were going to need in the future. ❤❤

I love how kind and supportive of you that Kyle is. Tell him hi from all of us.

She was a beautiful color, and clearly very sweet, but you made the right choice skipping the Appy, I think. Her movement, especially the turning and ways she also seems to trip- or almost buckle under her own weight- when she's walking, reminds me of an old giant dog breed walking stiffly after laying in the cold for too long... Poor girl definitely had something going on. I appreciate the fact you don't sugarcoat or shy away from showing the reality of the things you see at auctions, not all horses are so lucky to _be_ lucky.

Finally found this video. That is so funny that bagheera turned out to be a mayor and you thought it was a gelding. That's so cute! She is so beautiful. I love her story. I'm so glad I finally found this❤

I love that you judge horses not only on size and conformation, but pay an equal amount of attention to their personality when meeting them. Are they happy to meet you, and do you do get your "feel-good" vibes which cause you to raise your number card and bid for them, and usually win. Thank you for sharing with us your process of evaluating each horse at auctions, and the pros and cons of each horse or pony.

He’s beautiful! I’m so happy that he caught your eye and that he’s going to be in your program. I’m sure he’s going to make a lot of riders very happy.

Following your narration, I could see what you were talking about with the stiffness in the appaloosa mare when she turned. I believe you did the right thing here. Bagheera, a beautiful black mare, would have just gone to yet another auction and perhaps to not as good a home as yours. Now she has a forever home. 🐴❤

Listening to your videos and watching them is really, really fun! I do have some curious questions - 1. What do you mean by a horse's confirmation? 2. What does it mean when you say they're registered? Other than that, I love your videos and I can't wait to see what comes in the future!!

@jamiefarner4801

Horses can be registered or papered. Just like dogs.

Well the auctioneer called it a gelding and the owner used the "he" pronoun in referring to the horse. Some info you expect to be accurate. But you should let the auction house know they messed up. Good that you are happy and can laugh at your own mistakes. I respect that! Love your channel!

@freespiritequestrian

Жыл бұрын

Exactly. It was interesting!

I’ve been hooked on Appaloosas since my first official show pony, which was a POA. After I outgrew him, I obtained a 4yr old blue roan Appy who was a more traditional Nez Perce type with the egg-shaped spots over a white blanket, and then later a sorrel speckled Appy gelding from up state New York of all places (I’m a midwestern girl). Supposedly his sire was a Quarter Horse racer. I suppose technically he was a roan too, come to think on it.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but is bagheera a gelding or mare? In this video you refer to them as a gelding but I feel like I’m other videos as a mare? Maybe I just haven’t been paying attention 😅 beautiful horse either way though!
