Auction Report: Beebe 9/12/14
Spoiler, just like the last time, I didnt get a horse. Same deal as before, horses went high. I went with my mother and my sister.
However I figured I could go to London the next day and get two projects then. So then I loaded up my trailer and drove an hour, by myself, all the way to London. Anndd it turns out that it closed down. Nothing mentioned it on the internet, and the sign was still up, but it was abandoned. So I got to turn around and drive all the way home.
Beebe Auction report: 9/12/14
1.
Bald faced chestnut broodmare, very fat, never
been handled, nvs, L, weird huge lumpy scar hanging off neck/chest. $300 TD
2.
Gaited mare, nice, dark bat, RT BB, 12-14 y/o,
Paso? (I asked what breed and they said ‘gaited’ like I was an idiot. I gave
them my best ‘are you serious?’ face. They didn’t get it.) Nvs in pen. Pretty, rode better than I
thought. $440 I’m kicking myself for not
getting her, we thought she was high since it was the start of the night and
$440 used to be a high price. Apparently meat prices are up to 85 cents a pound
and so horse prices are up. $440 turned out to be quite low for the night.)

(So goddamn mad, this was our top pick. We
waited and waited. We named her Moosette. And nobody said anything. I went over
five, my highest before, but I couldn’t spend 600 on a horse that I didn’t know
was broke. So after she went out of the ring, the owners, who it turns out were
sitting right next to us, said “oh, and she rides well!” ….. Thanks a lot
assholes. My sister and I both went: “Well
that would have been nice to know before!!!” and the other guy that had been
looking at her with us made a “WTF?!”motion at them. Still pissed.)

SSo I didn't get a project and then I was feeling down. So I went to go look at a horse I saw online, a 10 y/o 16.1 hand Bay spotted draft mare, broke to ride and drive, $600. She's a sweet girl. I brought her home. She needs some weight and some work, she hasn't been worked in 2 years or so.
On a sad note, my cat Dickens passed away suddenly that same day. We heard him panting that morning but he ran outside and we couldn't get him, he didn't come when we called, we were going to take him to the vet the next morning, but when we still couldnt find him that evening we got concerned. Then we found his body. He was the best kitty. We raised him from birth and his mother from a kitten. He was about 11 years old but he'd had a hard life. When he was a kitten, somebody found him outside and broke both of his hips. He had to be confined to a cage until they healed. As he aged, he had some arthritis. We knew he wasn't in the peak of health all the time, but it was on and off. We just had no idea it was that bad but at least he's not hurting ever again. Rest in peace sweet kitty.
And on a happier note, here is Brea. (After Brienne of Tarth from Game of Thrones. Because she's a giant. Her name was Bristol, but I didn't love it)
'
Poor girl with her tight halter. Although I am glad they gave it to me, along with a bridle, because nothing else fits.
Knot from hell!
Victory! After a bottle of detangler and an hour of pulling!
Look at that tail. That tail is amazing.
Putting me next to a big horse: "oh, thats cool"
Putting mom next to a big horse: "Holy cow, that horse is huge!"
And the photoshoot! After 8 hours of scrubbing, brushing, shooting and editing.
