- Today we go to the local horse auction in search of a horse for a long time viewer of ours. We found the perfect gelding for her, but something fishy was going on with the bidding.... Horse Auctions.... Things that make you go Hrmmmmm......
Summerfield Draft Horses is a small non-profit horse farm located in East Bend, NC dedicated to saving Draft horses from the slaughter pipeline using public gifts, our own funds, the proceeds from items we sell on our 15Hands Tack e-bay store and on our website.

Interesting video! Thanks for taking us along. Fjord is pronounced as if the j is a y. So, "feh-yord" or "fee-yord." :)
Please encourage folks to contact their state reps to vote to pass the farming omnibus package. It will include 2 separate laws to protect horses and other farming livestock from cruel practices like being able to castrate animals by non-medically trained people. Let's make life better for our 4 legged friends.
I’ll read into it. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
They look sad But they're beautiful and thanks for taking us along
Auctions all over not just animals but vehicles and equipment is where you frequently come across a lot of shady stuff. I always suggest assume the person is lying because there's so many that are untrustworthy that are looking to make a profit from something from someone that doesn't know what's going on.
Happy labor day Monday we love yous ❤️
Thank you for taking us along! I enjoyed it! You are always so upbeat… I miss seeing Friday and donkey though! ❤
Ill be making more videos soon. Work/life balance is getting better. 😁
I've been going to auctions for over 30 years, in over a dozen states. Bought, sold, and traded. I'd say about 1/3 of mine don't get "my" price in the ring. Sort of a reserve. Last time it happened, I had an AQHA gelding, 8yrs old, kid safe, sound. Wanted $5500. Highest bid went to $5100. I Saud no sale, the auctioneer asked my price, I said $5500, a bidder offered it. I sold. It goes on in every sale. Standard auctions, don't have a reserve price only option, just a no sale option. If the owner isn't there to say no sale, the horse WILL sell at the highest bid price. That's why owners try to stick around. I know most the kill pen buyers from Canada to Mexico, and they will let me pick through their pens and buy out, at auction price, whatever catches my eye. I respect their job, get along with them, and understand it's a job. No different than a cattle buyer, or other livestock dealer.
Love seeing auction videos. Had a hard time hearing you sometimes over the background music though. Thanks for doing what you do!
I tried to get the volume to go up… i suppose its a limitation of my editing software. 😞
I'm 57, had horses my whole life and I've been to thousands of sales. I'm a little over an hour west of this one.
Mt.Airy is one of the better ones around that has a monthly sale. While there are some trader types there, most of the decent traders have passed on. However, there are still a few.
One of my favorite things about this sale is that sellers have the option of selling horse guaranteed sound. When they do, buyers have 72 hours to bring horse back IF there's a soundness problem, not just that buyer regrets the purchase.
Sales are the worst place for newer horse people to buy, unless it's one of the big yearly production sales ranches have or a big yearly specialty sale.
You will definitely pay more at one of the yearly types, but it's money well spent as you won't find doping and lies.
A great yearly sale is the Virginia trail horse sale held in Lexington every April. Horses arrive Thursday, obstacle, trail and cattle work contests on Friday with sale on Saturday. So buyers have 2-3 days to see horses, talk to owners before sale. They all sell with a 48-72 hour soundness/health guarantee.
I have my own horses and a small all breed rescue in East Tennessee. Please check with rescues to see if we have suitable horses before buying elsewhere. Most of us are full to bursting now.
When we don't have what adopter wants, I refer to other rescues AND 3 traders I know. It doesn't matter to me where someone gets their horse, just that it goes to a good home.
In an answer to why some of the bidding went like it did. A lot of times when a seller "no sales" his horse the auctioneer will ask him what he wants for it, and after hearing his reply, for some reason sometimes there's someone who now is willing to pay more than they would have before. I guess because the owner thinks it worth more, now they do too. But usually the auctioneer will always give the high bidder the chance to raise it. And if the high bidder is online, it's not really possible to explain what all just happened. Hope that makes sense. I've been to 100's of auctions already and it's a pretty common thing
Thank you for the explanation, I too have been to lots of auctions and this is the first time I have seen it multiple times. It’s just people running up the price is all.
@@SFD-Horses it's called buy bidding
@@SFD-Horses Not always people running the price up. As @childoftheking9907 said, people have second thoughts and decide to go a little higher and seller decides to take a little less. It's not that uncommon.
Great Auction lets hope ❤❤❤
Fjord is pronounced feeord.
America has alot of horse auctions why 😢 are they over bred. This so sad 😢
I wish I could answer that… 😞
România ❤
fabulous looking countryside thereabouts 🍸 Blue Ridge Range is home to my favourite American accent (no idea whether this filmed anywhere near to there) 👍 not familiar with Auction-speak I have no idea precisely what no sale implies; therefore, I fail at seeing the fishiness
Gosh, all the horses had such sad eyes 😢
They did… stressful I’m sure
So what usually happens in this situation is that the final bidder is the one to offer a higher price in the case that the reserve is not met (and usually not disclosed until the horse no sales in the ring). Sometimes another bidder is like oh okay so thats what theyll take for them, I guess I can swing that, but its usually the final bidder that makes an offer on a no saled horse :)
I dont know if HAU has the ability to edit the app to reflect that
I HATE THESE PLACES . THEY BE SOLD TO GOOD OWNERS , OR GET KILLED FOR PEOPLE OVER SEAS . SO SAD . 😢
Every animal at a auction is a homeless animal
This is said constructively. 80% of your video is full faced videos of you. I'm sure most viewers wd prefer to see the horses. You can still talk when the camera is focused on horses. Good luck with your videos. 😊
Shooting Doves!?!?
Omgosh WTH!?!?
Why Why Why!? 💔😭
If you were after ' likes ' nice lady, I'd give you one.
Background music too loud in places.
Yes, I know on that one. Sorry about that
Fi-yord, not fajord
😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣 ahhhh… like Belgian and not Belgium. 😂🤣🤣😂
I bet you wish you could buy them all
YES! Well, at least the sicker ones.
What is that sticker on the rear window?
What dose it represent?
Thanks
That is a way of life for me and my family. ❤️ if you google it you can learn more. 😁
Had to Google it, learned more, and 👍👍👍
Thank you.
But I know exactly what it represents. Not sure if anybody else here does.@@SFD-Horses
Thanks for sharing with the rest of us..
Some of the ideology isn't bad but why be anti immigrant?
Three hundred horses 😢
Ill have to try and make it to one of the bigger auctions. I was told there is over 2,000. I cant imaging seeing that.
@@SFD-Horses Wow that must be hectic. 😯😱😭
just wondering whether you happen to be capable of talking while driving any automobile..?
Yes, actually I am, BUT…. Someone once criticized me for not paying attention to the road, and filming while driving, so a sped up road view is what you get. 😉
What a disgrace to break up the gelding and mare
@8:25 i rony understands your confusion..... "why didny the person bid more" ..... if you were trying to buy a $1000 saddle, and the highest bid was $300 are you hoing to bid $350, and get it as cheap as possible, or are you going to jump the bid $700???? If youd jump thr bid up $700 PLEASE come to the west coast with an empty trailer. We have lots of horses for you to buy
Damn..... I was a couple shots over my limit when I wrote this apparently
As a life long "horse trader" it pi%$es me off to see some of the things people say. Yep there are dirt bag traders out there that lie through their tooth, BUT do you think there is a chance in həll I could sell a single horse at an auction I got a rep for lying about my horses!?!?!? I've been in a auction rings since I was a baby, and like MOST traders I depend on a good reputation to make a living. Just like used car lot..... you can make one sell with a lie, or 1000 with the truth.
Great video thank you God bless 🕊 happy fall harvest 10 27 3023
