I like 7032 too! Also 9088.
O.M.G. :love-struck::love-struck::love-struck: How cute are they!!! I want so many!! :lol: Adopting a mustang and/or Chincoteage pony is definitely on my bucket list. Timing is nowhere close to right right now, but someday…!
Check out the lofty trot on 7455. She’s a plain brown wrapper (actually clicked on her ad because i felt sorry for her, with her scruffy muddy face). But man her trot is something else:

I feel really bad for all these horses. Wish I had the time and fencing to take one.

I would guess they have an option for placing your maximum bid, but the bids go up in increments so your max bid will only happen if others bid too.

I think this 2 year old filly is missing her left eye. it doesn’t mention it, but it sure looks missing to me.
Thanks, they do have something that allows $5 increments up to maximum bid.
Good luck to everyone who is bidding! For now my daughter and I will enjoy our two mustangs but eventually we want to add one for my husband, and way down the road, for my younger daughter. I have trained for years but until I got involved in mustangs I had no idea how much I didn’t know. They have taught me much more about myself, and helped me fine tune my training and as a result I’ve become such a better horsewoman. The journey has lots of ups and downs, but I always tell everyone…a horse is only as good as the hours you put in. I wish more people who adopted these mustangs understood that. Luckily my mare came from a great TIP trainer, so she’s come along at a very steady pace. My daughter’s horse we are pretty sure was abused pretty viciously, based on information we found out afterwards about the trainer that had him, paired with his over the top responses to things even a wild horse wouldn’t have that kind of reaction with.

I have a bid in for a yearling burro. He’s adorable, but we’ll see. I worry someone will come in at the last minute and outbid me. If we get him, we won’t even meet him until at least September. If this virus is still raging, it could be pushed back even more.
The TIP Challenge I signed up for has been pushed back until August. I’m approved for two burros. My plan is to train two and find a home for one.
Did you guys see that dappled buckskin mare? Her price is over $2,000 now!
Yep, 7032 is at $2405.
When does your auction close? That way we can keep fingers crossed for your potential burrito!
I am happy to see that Ears has gotten some bids.
This auction shows how much color truly does sell.

Oh yes. I have her as one of my favorites to keep an eye on her.
So far, I still have the high bid in for one burro. I did notice that the burro’s hooves look pretty awful. They have been in the holding pens for awhile and their toes are long. I had a few misgivings about adopting the 9 year old burro because I kept thinking about her on a trailer all the way across country . Her hooves are the worst. I bet I could have tamed her down to get those feet done fairly quickly, once she got here, but that’s a lot of stress on her limbs for a long distance ride. I hope someone out West gets her. She was my favorite, but I think I’ll pass on her for her own good…
And 42’s officially a buyback. I’m trying to tell myself “buy a buyback, give it a fun Jeopardy! theme name, call it good.” Or “Buy a fall pickup, give yourself til October to figure out hauling.”
…Anybody interested in helping haul a pony? Virginia to Michigan? (And/or talking me into lot #s 60 or higher?)

@Moonlitoaks, I understand your hesitancy regarding that donkey’s feet, but I also think burros are remarkably resilient. She’s lived nine years without a farrier. Maybe she can go a little longer?
I say that as someone who inherited two formerly feral donkeys whose feet had never been done, and they were in their early teens at that point. They were originally from Mexico and had wandered over the river onto a rancher’s land. They did tame down quite well, with patience and love. They are sly, funny little birds. I say you should stay in the game!

Wish I could help out with the hauling (but I understand they frown on stuffing pony foals into station wagons nowadays 😆), but I’m happy to enable!
#60 - love the minimal white (the white tail is killing me) and there’s something about his mom (Lady Hook) that I really like.
#67 is a Riptide daughter and she’s totally ready for water hazards on cross country at what? 10 days old - eventer pony in the making!

Sweet jesus how am I going to tell my husband.
Also how are they not in chronological order??? This offends me as a math teacher.
I will be taking #44 with they eye patch. He can live in the shed with the mower.

Thanks for the encouragement. We do have a bid in for one of the young ones. So far, so good.
He is adorable! my mustang is awesome as well. I saw some adult horses I would love to try, if only I had a good, strong six foot tall pen. Some of those bay mares have the sweetest faces, but no bids. 
Oh, 67 and 71…I wish Riptide threw more color! I’d need to breed them to something a little stockier and a lot splashier (no eventers! No hunters, no jumpers, no cutting, no working disciplines, fat pretty pony to toodle around on!)
70’s a palomino (Prince and DLSII seem to be good for that.) However it’s apparently a COMPLETE pig in a poke as neither DSC nor Sporthorse knows if it’s a colt or a filly yet! If I didn’t have to pick him up right away 19 is tugging my heartstrings. Still love 10 but as soon as someone looks at the pedigree it’s going to be war.
I am so tempted to try to buy naming rights on 63. She’s stupid adorable.
