Buying from Bowie “kill pen”?

[Aussie_2020]

Three years old and he looks thirty I sure hope a kind soul picks him up.

Another cute bay Bowie filly here! This one just seems special.

There is also a nice bay TB gelding, “Heads Up”. No video yet, but stay tuned they move pretty quickly on that aspect. Their Facebook page usually has them first.

If this is the same horse, he’s a KY-bred by Smart Strike, out of Muy Muy by Dixie Union. He had 20 starts and was a winner.

The Morgan Stallion was bought by another dealer (Lone Star) and where he was listed at a higher price. At that point Morgan Safenet Bought him. A friend of mine posted the story to their FB page. Link:

This guy sure looks like a cute, good egg. That face!

Love this mare, too, but no manners or skills it seems

And that shows exactly how the kill pen thing is such a fraud.

Colleen (who bought him) does a lot of good work. She’s been trying to get Amish sellers to list horses they need to sell on the MSN website, before things get to the “send em to auction” point.

[quietann]

That poor mare. She has a dropped hip and looks unsound. And is heavy in foal.

[JBCool]

Oh, I know. I just liked her expression and overall. Hopefully she gets a safe place to foal and produces something nice.

ALL ANIMALS ARE AS IS & NON-REFUNDABLE! All Horses are SOLD with Current Coggins​:bangbang: Call or text 940-257-8884 UPCOMING TRANSPORT- (dates are subject to change) Anywhere along I 40/ Bakersfield…

I contacted the last known owner. They are in Colorado and had given the horse away to a family. The family sold him and possibly those people are the reason he ended up where he did. The good news is that he should be safe soon.

[Kinda_Kooky]

So glad you were able to do that! That’s great news!

[AAHunterGal]

I’m seriously thinking of getting this guy:

4392 Nice Prospect 8yr old TB Gelding - Bowie Livestock

Someone please talk me either into it or out of it, lol.

[Horse_Daft]

oh go get him! He’s got nice bone, my kind of TB.

[jherold]

You’re coming here to be talked out of it?!

[Jenerationx]

He looks like a good boy!

[AAHunterGal]

How did you discover the last known owner, did you ask Bowie?

[Kinda_Kooky]

Some of the TBs arrive with their names or have a lip tattoo or microchip.

Sometimes you get lucky when you get the horse and there is a coggins with former owner information.

He’s a handsome guy, I say get him! It looks like he may have a bit of swelling on the exterior of his LF, which could just be a cut or bump from transport, doesn’t seem to bother him.

That would not prevent him from being added to my shopping cart!

Life is short, get the horse!

[jvanrens]

Wrong place to asked to be talked out of buying a horse! LOL

[AAHunterGal]

@jvanrens

Wrong place to asked to be talked out of buying a horse! LOL

Ha, I get it - I just already own 1 horse so this would be an additional one, not an only one.

@AAHunterGal

Someone please talk me either into it or out of it, lol.

He’s cute! And clearly trying very hard to please! And not in super awful shape. I see no reason not to click the button

[Posting_Trot]

He’s a sweet looking guy. I think you’d get a great horse with a great–seemingly unflappable–personality!

Buy him and then let us know how he does!
