  • Hey Horse Lovers! This weekend we went to a Special Spring horse sale in Indiana. This auction had a variety of horse breeds with all shapes and sizes. Most of the horses were in decent condition with the exception of a few loose pen horses. I was impressed with the auction house for calling out issues in the ring when they brought horses through. The riding horses were in pretty good condition and prices were fair. In this video I will talk about what I am looking for in a potential auction horse purchase and also share some educational tips when it comes to browsing horse auctions. You will get to see my full experience and feel as though you were there! Did any horses catch my interest? Watch to see! IF YOU ENJOY MY CONTENT SUBSCRIBE!

      ​@Leonie Engels , same here! Very close to tears. If I was there, I'd) have made sure I got him to bring him here (I've got 80 acres with nothing on it except my home ) I'd have him very checked, blood work, shots, and hooves done up. Then I'd have let him just be a pasture pet, so he could heal and enjoy life eating plenty of grocery!!!!! I'd also buy a second , and maybe even a third since they are herd animals. They'd all get the same treatment as the first one. It is the 3, I'd get a draft so I could ride, but none would be mistreat. The first one was in such desperate condition and needed a lot of TLC and he'd get it! I'd have everything built new, corral, stables(heated of course. Why am I saying all this, smh! They'd have the best life ever and not need half the stuff I'd get them! Horses are my passion! I'd always had a horse since the age of 5. I truly miss having some!

  • @hoofgirl31
    @hoofgirl31 Рік тому +58

    rings and flare on the hooves doesn't necessarily mean she's foundered, it means there was a metabolic change, usually food or stress (coming on or off pasture, switching grains or hay), in fact they're called event lines because it could be a number of things. Xrays are the only way to know if there has been rotation of the coffin bone (true founder) or a pretty extreme duck bill foot (this one just looked like flaring and the recent trim was addressing that. Laminitis is just inflammation of the laminae which doesn't always mean rotation.

Needless to say, I've spent way more on some stuff that I intended to. But you can't your money with you when you're gone, lol! When it comes to animals, I didn't know what I ended up paying till the end. It was the inanimated objects that got me! But again it is a special language of its own lol!

    Glad you were able to get out to the auction and you’re right about quarantine at your place right now. Once the baby is born and you’re able to sell what you want, the new horse/ pony is going to present itself to you just like they all have. It’s hard being patient and selective but you got this and it won’t be long till you’ll have the foal and Belle to train, start riding Mushu, and your work with Buzz. All in good time and Happy Easter 🐣🐇 🌻💕

    I'm curious as to why all those people are standing inside that tiny ring?! The people sitting behind them can't see, and the horse's have a hard enough time walking around that pen. Arizona doesn't allow that, or at least none of the auctions we've been to. Doesn't make any sense to me. 🤔

  • @deerhaven3350
    @deerhaven3350 Рік тому +10

    Another well stocked auction. Thank you for sharing your day with us. I did have one question. Do you know why the auctioneers allow all those people to line the inside of the auction pen? There's barely enough room for the exhibitor to maneuver their animal about. It just struck me as negligent and dangerous IMHO.

    • @hummingbird275
      @hummingbird275 Рік тому +3

    ❤ the video and your YT channel (my fav!)! And keep up the good work of educating others about all things equestrian! 🐎 There is SO MUCH to learn and you do a fantastic job! And yeah, even providing viewers insight into your own barn needs before getting another horse teaches others a person needs to have the right circumstances, being prepared to take care of a forever horse BEFORE you get one. Don't rush it.
    Love seeing both you & Kyle enjoying this auction together. So funny at the end about getting a new puppy/dog! Guess they must have them there as well? So much temptation to resist! Like you always say, know what you want before you go and stick to that! 😄

    Hi Shae and Kyle , There was some beautiful horses at the auction for sure but seeing the penned horses was extremely saddening . I don’t understand how people can be so cruel or ignorant to let such noble creatures suffer . They have no compassion and just auction them off knowing they will probably be purchased to go to slaughter. Thank goodness for horse rescue groups like the Equine Humane society who go to these auctions and buy the horses who desperately need help to be rehabilitated or given the horses final act of kindness . Thank you to you and Kyle too who love and respect your horses and ponies and offer them the safety and compassion that they truly deserve. ❤ Kylie from Australia 🇦🇺

    I could literally NEVER go to something like this. Seeing horses in soo bad conditions, having idk how many of them being stuck in a tiny tiny space makes me so incredibly sad and angry at the same time? That bidding ring must be SO stressful for the horses, especially if riders sit on them who just jank at their mouths, poking them with spurs etc. I just sit here and want to cry because I'd want to give all of these horses a amazing home and a life where they are all equally loved ;__;

    I'm sure this will read as a silly suggestion, but I wonder if extensions would work on horses with docked tails. 🤔 They work for people. Having said that, I realize that horses have a myriad of places where extensions could get snagged. Still, extensions would certainly help them combat flies.

My first was a buckskin with the best temperment for a beginner but huge (16.2). I'm 5'. All my others have been some shade of chestnut and 14.3 or less. I would love a stocky halflinger!. Thank you for the trip!!!

There were a lot of really nice looking animals. Of course there were a few that were heartbreaking 🥺. But you are so right, you really have to be careful what you bring home due to Belle being preggers ☺️There were some really beautiful paints.

    Thanks for taking us along as always to the auctions. Again it’s always so hard to see the neglected horses that are dumped just to make a buck 😢 I do find it frustrating that people are allowed to stand in the arena especially such a small one. People in the stands who may want to bid can’t see. That puts added stress on the horses, especially the ones being ridden in and are getting yanked, being pulled on their mouths to get them to turn 😠 There were some lovely looking ones there and pony row killed me 😂 They are so fluffy and adorable ❤ Have a great day and Happy Easter 🐣 to both you and Kyle 💐💞💞💞

    A good horse is never a bad color. Right? I love listening to you talk about horses. You are doing a good service for the horses. Please remind people, maybe at the end of every video like Bob Barker used to do, about how bad it is to let your horses breed indiscriminately. I don’t know if a lot of people think about the fact that so many horses are being abused and sold to the “meat man” because of it. I know some people don’t think about what really happens to that cute little baby when he doesn’t turn out like you thought. I’m not trying to be ugly, far from it. Like you I’m just thinking about the welfare of the horses. Keep up the great work!

    I think there are people who were made for different things. Some people have pure rescues with a lot of focus on medical attention, and some are like you who take in those horses that you can train while healing from potential earlier trauma and then find them a great home when they're ready. All of these people still belong to the same group who are out there helping these horses. You are so great :)

    I just missed a bunch of these candidates and hike scribbling my screed but I just felt compelled to wade in and say that the first two-3 look pretty ideal for you- that palomino is pretty solid looking very good cannon bones and quarters, could carry a heavier rider a good ways I expect, and the buckskin looks like a pretty well put together deal especially for lessons and trail riding.
    Ouch that starvling grey is a crime scene, for sure.

    Ooh at 5:30 I think that a second smaller pony will always earn it’s keep even just to be a barn ambassador.
    Yea, all hail the Appaloosa gateway pony!!

    I will never understand how they take in the sick and injured to run through for the buyers. No animal deserves this torture. There needs to be a fund to euthanize for end life and removal, but know it isn’t going to happen. I had to stop going as crying at the auction causes issues by people there. Just my soft heart. You can’t save them all, but iT suRE would be awesome if we could.

      There are horse rescues doing this workat auctions, but from what I can tell from the channels I watch, there are still not enough. I guess anytime you see a horse in the condition like the one Shae showed there are not enough rescues and or not enough education yet.

    No need to explain yourself. You're doing an awesome thing. I love your program. It was nice seeing most of the horses going for above slaughter price. I loved that Shire/ draft. OMG, he was gorgeous! I don't know how you can choose only one. I'd be a mess in there. There were so many nice horses to choose from. And those ponies and minis. 🥰 Yeah, I'd be in big trouble if I went to an auction. Lol

    There was a filly at a barn i boarded at whilst stationed in California years ago who did that exact tongue thing at feeding time that you thought might be neurological. The vet said that it was a common type of self-soothing habit, much like thumb sucking or nail biting might be for us. i've since seen it several times in different horses over the years. It never affected Peanut's (the Paint filly at my barn) training or riding in any way.

She lived well into her 30s with the same owner (my friend) and never had any other medical issues and it totally fit her quirky personality. i guess like everything else, it just depends on the horse.
