Let me know if anyone is looking for a good ranch horse, my friend Barb with Ranch 2 Ring
rescue in Montana (http://ranch2ring.shutterfly.com/)is attending the canner sales.
Yesterday she was able to pull two mares, the stout bay is a well broke
registered AQHA and the sorrel is gentle for kids. Both those mares are
spoken for but the next auction is Tues May 18th (then montly through July and weekly through Sept) and the biggest need is for
potential homes. Unfortunately the other 18 horses at yesterday's auction (some
broke, all healthy) went to a Bouvry dealer, straight to slaughter She knows most of the ranches these horses come from personally, it is a small community and nobody has a need to lie about the history or drug a horse because the price is per lb and will not change for level of training or registration.In fact the ranchers are quite happy to share the history on horses good or bad and their reason for selling.
If you remember the story of Max the stolen barrel racing horse, when he was recovered with a family in in MO the replacement horse, a paint named Indio, was an auction save from R2R: http://www.ky3.com/news/local/64075432.html, http://www.thehorse.com/ViewArticle.aspx?ID=15224 |
