I hope the Amish that are buying these beautiful horses continue to care for them and treat them with respect. So many cases of horse abuse, neglect and puppy mills. I’m sure a large percentage of the Amish are responsible owners but the the percentage that aren’t have been very disappointing to see.

My neighbor rescued an older Amish buggy horse. It is great to see her free. She has hind leg issues, and now spends her days being spoiled.

Thank you taking us on your journey. Nice to see an auction that has no kill. The environment looks really clean and take pride of well being of all the horses! Thumbs up to the owner of this auction building.

And I only went with a friend not even looking to buy.

Yes, it’s a tough and high stress situation sometimes. Mainly because you’re taking on an animal, and to me a new family member and you don’t ever truly know what you’re getting, so if everything doesn’t align at the auction it isn’t worth the risk IMO. My mom is the same way, she came with me once and couldn’t really do it again because she was so effected. It’s hard for me to but I know I have to push through to continue my mission. ❤️

Hi again SHAE Really good to see a decent auction with well cared for better quality horses. Likely because there's no place financially for kill buyers at a no kill sale. The right decision on the paint after hearing he lived 12 years as a pasture pet. Knowing how much time and training a horse like that would require it would have been more of a big project then you needed or wanted. There's always another sale and other horses. No shortage there!! Thx as always for sharing. Catcha next time...

Liked No. 171 b/w paint who was kind to your touch, well built, but a little shorter; the 3-yr. old palomino was too high at $2,800 & I get it now ~~ all the time and training you have to put into a young horse. That 14-yr-old paint gelding that they wanted $3,000 for had no training and it takes you 6 mos. to 1 yr. for foundation. An older horse should have had more training. You do love your paints.

I agree with you on not buying.

You have to find a horse that suits you and will thrive under your care as much as possible. If the horse doesn't fit what you want and need pass on it. That black and white paint will still find a good home. And that I base on your assessment.

You made the right decision about the paint. I would’ve made the same decision. The problem with horses that have never done much in their lives is, like you say, that you have to put a lot of training into them. They’ve never had the chance to develop a work ethic when they’re younger, so you don’t know how they’re going to be when they’re older. They may have been a custom to, and undemanding life, and they may not take well to training or work. Some of them just have a sour attitude about it. I think it’s a disservice to a horse to not start training until the horse is basically middle-aged. For some reason, I tend to see a lot of horses in that situation, and I always wonder, why? Sometimes they have amateur owners who don’t know what to do with them. Other times, you just don’t know why.
