Yeah I don't know what the deal is, I guess it is hard to haul out of town if they are selling the horses because they can't afford to feed them anymore? I don't know. But it is good that a few of the ranchers have contacted her to find homes for horses without taking them to the auction. That sort of thing would never happen around here, we have all kinds of asshats dumping horses at the weekly auction and the horses going through here are not always honestly represented (if the owner bothers to represent them at all).

I'm hoping she gets those too geldings out safe, sale is going on right now.
She did buy one dead broke pony 12-13hh before the auction to keep it from going through. It is going to be delivered this weekend if you are still looking for one.
