Brief Auction Report and online goodies

I went to tuesdays auction (the weekly one where you can only see the horses from a catwalk above-sketchy) because someone posted 4 horses for $50 each. One 7 year old adorable, nice looking chestnut gelding, one poorly conformed 4 year old mare, and 2 year-1.5 year old stud colts. Nothing else said. I emailed twice because the gelding was exactly what the KB looks for- stocky, tall and fat. Never got a reply and the entire ad was taken down at once. *sigh* People, kill buyers are absolutely on craigslist and they will pick up your horses!

So I went tuesday on the off chance they'd try to flip them at the sale the next day- they didn't.

1. 14.2 hand bay male mule, tall socks, no one spoke. Run through. $37.50 to FA- KB
2. 14.3 hh bay mule, run through. $37.50 FA-KB
3. Dark bay mare (I think), 14 hh, stocky, short legged, very nervous, ragged mane. Wild eyed. No one spoke. NTR $400 to TD (kb?)-
4. Bay with blaze, a little over 14 hh, fat, nervous and neighing. NRT. $365 TD (kb?)
5. Black/possible bay, star, 14.2, stocky, slightly less nervous. NRT $275 TD (kb?)

Went high for horses that no one said anything about. Not age, not breed, not even sex! Same guy/buisness got the 3 horses.


online beauties...

1.

Height: 13.0 hh Weight: 0.0 lbs
Registry: AQHA Reg. #: N/A
Temperament: 3 / 10
Price:$100
Additional Comments:
This filly is the cream of the crop. She is coming 2 this spring. She comes with an AQHA registration application to register her. She is gentle and has had some halter training done, but I would not consider her halter broke.

Okay, maybe not as far along training wise as she could be and they should have registered her themselves, but that's reasonable for the price.... So I thought, until... 


I saw the picture. Good lord! Feed that thing! If that's the creme dela creme I'd hate to see their culls..That is just one sad looking baby. Those pasterns... that shoulder and what's going on with that rump? 


2. horse for sale $800 - $800
for sale two half year black stud horse he is half QH & tenn walking horse asking $800 are obo can text pics of horse

Umm, exactly why is your randomly mixed grade horse, who will have an awful gait if any (seriously, totally different movement and conformation ideals) with no picture A. still a stud? B. Worth $800?  Take a look at the market, sheesh. 

3. 6 yr Old Bay Gelding Trail Pony - $900

Meet Lightning! He's a 6 year old 55 inch bay gelding that we've put through our Kid program for several months! He's had 60 days retraining by my 3rd and 4th year student riders. He's learning his natural horsemanship cues more every dayl! Has a great yield to his hindquarters, his forequarters, & is picking up his back up very well! This slow & steady guy doesn't care much for getting in a hurry. Low headed & quiet. Makes a great lead line pony for young novice riders, & the more advanced kids can guide him easily! Easy to catch and handle.  Serious inquiries only. MUST go to a good home with knowledgeable horse folks! This little guy learns more every day & we have began his education as a play day pony. The price will continue to go up the longer we keep him! Super easy keeper, doesn't require shoes, and loads like a champ, point and cluck! $900 firm. Lightnin will fit in with any establishment looking to add a dependable smaller trail pony to their riding stock.

Okay, sounds like a nice enough pony, I'd rather buy him than the grade stud above, but why, why, why would you choose these pictures as a selling point?



Does that make the pony look willing to you? Because it looks pissed to me and shows off poor conformation. The first picture.... you don't let your kids program ride through stuff like that do you?! Good riding gear too... proper boots and helmets.... oh wait... never mind.


4. 7 year old QH Bay Mare: Trade or sell - $500
Lilly is a beautiful bay that I had every intention of breaking for my gran-daughter. She stands about 14.2 and is full of spunk. We didn't intend to cut her tail that short but the bob-look becomes her.... She can be a little bossy at feeding time but not much after that. I have been on her with no problems and that's good for a mare that has not been ridden in 5 years. We just bred her with a beautiful QH Paint and if it took she should foal between 12/10/2013 and Christmas of 2013. Its like getting 2 for the price of one or "double trouble" LOL.... Only serious callers or texts plz... If i get more time we will work on lifting our feet for the farrier but she stands good for grooming, loads, really good at ground work, will have current coggins before she leaves. Will sell her or trade for a bomb proof horse for my gran-daughter. ( Not a horse over 15 years of age plz)  Tks for looking and god bless



Oh my lordy, yeah, having a tail cut off to the actual flesh is not becoming. Ever. Now she can't swat flies when it gets warm- hooray!  Have fun buying shit tons of fly spray sucker! What is so special about this mare that you felt the need to breed her? Hmm? It's sure not her conformation or looks, show record. bloodlines, size, temperament (spunky and not fit for youth) or athleticism/movement. A mare in foal (to an unspectacular stallion) is never a two for one bonus. It's a two for one eating machine. Why would you breed her if you're going to sell her?! Do you have a clue how much more difficult selling her will be? Gah. 



5. Ad Type: At Stud Name: Peppys San Winrock Breed: Paint  Gender: Stallion Color: Black
Height:15.10 hands  Temperament: 2 (1 - calm; 10 - spirited) Age: 8 yrs 11 mths Registered: Yes  Price: $ 300

 I have raised Ringo from a foal and his temperment is so good.He has passed it on to his foals that I have bred. He is homozyous for the tobiano gene. You may view his foals on my web site. I have never shown him but I feel he is a good alround horse.
If your looking for a stallion to throw color to breed your mare to for the trail and general riding he will be great. NO shoes on the mare and we do charge mare care and I hand breed him but no shipped semen at this time. A current coggins dated within six months of breeding. The mare must be easy to handle and be in good health 


Okay, I'm glad you think he's an all around good horse, but paint him chestnut and you've got what? A (possibly broke) trail stud who doesn't want to attack everything in sight? How special! And you can breed to him to make a decent all around trail horse? Wow! We're sure in a shortage of those, might run out any day now....... 



Sheesh, after all the money spent raising and training the foal, you'd be better off just buying a horse. Why breed when you can get horses like these at an affordable price?

5. Ad  type: for Sale Status: Available Name: Fame's Sweet Serendipity
Breed: Saddlebred Gender: Mare Color: Palomino Height: 15.10 hands
Temperament: 5 (1 - calm; 10 - spirited) Age: 4 yrs Registered: Yes  Price: $ 2,000

Due to the death of our stallion we are selling our ASB stock. This coming 4 yr old filly is absolutely gorgeous and has a sweet and willing disposition. Only worked on the ground and had a saddle on, not ridden. A bargain now before further training.


Sheesh, that is a nice horse at  a great price. Look at those moves! 


6. Inviting Gold Spark Color: Palomino Breed: Quarter Horse Sex: Gelding Birth Date: Feb 28, 2002 Height: 16.0 hh   Registry: AQHA    Reg. #: 1284424 Temperament: 5 / 10 Price: $3,000 

he is a beautiful and muscular built gelding he is a finished riding horse that knows his leg ques he is also registered with the Palomino horse breeders of America and the AQHA If you want a nice horse come get him. I reckon it is hard to see on the picture of his papers but he is HYPP-N/N.



Now that's a nice looking boy! Pasterns might be a little upright and his confo isn't perfect, but he's a gelding. Previous ad said he was a breeding stallion before they got him. Folks, if they're gelding horses like him, you should geld your fugs. That head is beautiful, he's finished AND he's N/N.
