An old sick horse still deserves a home, some people go to actions to save horse. Those who give their all for horses, they are the true animal lovers.

I couldn't have left that cute little donkey. He would've gone home with me. He was sooo cute.

Colt is absolutely adorable. I hope he and Daisy have lots of beautiful babies. The owner who refused to answer your questions about her horse is suspect, as far as I'm concerned. I'm willing to bet she knew what had caused damage to the animal's leg. People like that shouldn't own animals. That tiny donkey was a cutie. I had kind of hoped you would get him. He seemed to like you. 😊

Being a responsible horseman at auction and at home goes a long way in my book. Appreciate your compassion and sincerity. Sure wish that could be cloned, kill buyers would go hungry. Please keep an eye out for Canadian horses. Still trying to get bill enacted that was passed to stop live slaughter exports. Few I've seen dumped on the way to Texas border.

Awwww! He’s so cute! 💖 Am I the only one that thinks the auction is a miserable experience for the horses? The noise & the poking & the prodding & the owners that don’t seem to care about them. Then getting jerked around in that little auction pen. I feel sorry for them.

😔 Poor Palomino Mare...she's in pain, maybe that's why her head goes high. It's heartbreaking, but ya just can't save them all.

Nice to see an auction where they take more care of the animals. Colt is cute as a button!

This is so exciting. Hi from Germany and I would like to have them all. Beautiful souls. Am widowed by accident and just living with a rescue dog from Hungary (rare breed mudi). But planning more animals when I retire. Love to you all. We have a channel 'Mustang Makeover' on KZread about wild Mustangs beeing rescued and flewn to Germany. They are trained here and one called Twister was auctioned for 32.000 € after his recovery and training. They organize training challenges with first class ❤trainers and the development of some nearly half starved Mustangs is amazing.

When you buy a horse at an auction it is best for the buyer to beware because an auction can hide a lot of flaws not easily seen! I used to ride some auction horses when I was a lot younger, seen a lot of things in my days.

What you consider old, such as "16" is young to me. As my Arabian stud, Jahiel, lived to 32 yrs old.

That Hancock Stud colt was stunning! And the little sorrel and white mini stud had me doing a double take! I had an AMHA mini Stud that was stolen a few years back and that guy was his TWIN! I would have SWORN it was him until you showed his teeth, my heart fell.. my boy would be a 14 year old now certainly not a 4 year old. Rocky was only 28” and he was a sweetheart. I still hold out hope that maybe SOMEDAY I’ll find him

That looks like the perfect companion for Daisy. I like him even better than the little paint stud you wanted. I'm kind of surprised a stallion pony would go for that much. (But I've had horses a really long time and haven't been to a sale in a really long time, either. What are the low end prices at that sale like?

@homesteadhorsemanship

Жыл бұрын

That seems to be the low end of a pony! And you don’t see much going below $1200. Most is above $2000 and higher. $3000 to $5000 seems to be a normal price range for an “average” horse at the last couple auctions we were out.

@Growmap

Жыл бұрын

@@homesteadhorsemanship This surprises me. For decades, the low end at an auction was around $250 except one year during a drought when horses were selling for $20 (and it cost more than that to sell them). So you're saying grade horses are bringing $2000+? Maybe you're only going to more upscale sales? In the 1990s, registered Thoroughbred yearlings at yearling sales had a minimum bid of $500 and many sold for that. (And it cost $160 back then to register a Thoroughbred.) My first horse cost $350 and my first AQHA registered 2yo gelding cost $2000 (in 1978).

Nice story

Oh my God, you made me cry so basically I used to have this dog named colt and every time I hear that name I go down like I go into a mental break down like I went to another video because I was crying and I couldn’t stop because we had to give him away because of dogfights but then we found out with the other dog that was started the fight between them and now, every time I hear the name, Colt, I literally go to a mental breakdown but I’m happy for you

That was fun, I've never seen a horse sale before, I never realized there's so much to look at on a horse when making a decision on who to buy. The little boy you bought is absolutely adorable!! Question: I know very little about horses, will those two little horses grow up to be full size large horses or will they always be small and have small children? Great video, one of your best! Thank you, take care.

13:45 Good decision. And I refuse to give my precious funds to people who treat me poorly. I don't need to become best friends, but do not treat me like krap if you want my money.
