And if bay girl isn’t your color, you could have a red boy…

Someone beat me to it while I was waiting on a shipping quote! I hope for infinity plus one carrots and a whole foot of shavings await him.

Oh, dang! Hoping he’s treated well, wherever he ends up.

My friend bought an AQHA mare from Bowie. Someone had left a tight halter on mare and her lower lip was hanging due to nerve damage. After the quarantine period (should always send a kill pen horse to a quarantine situation for a month) she came home and started rehab training. The lower lip gradually healed the nerve damage. mare filled out and started training in Ranch riding. This last year she was the Junior Horse All Around Champion for the RMQHA in Colorado. If you want to go kill pen shopping, you need a good eye for conformation and to know bloodlines in whatever breed you are considering.

Looks like the yellow boy has found a new address too.

There is a very VERY quiet and cute 3yo DHH gelding available now… someone please take him home so I can live vicariously.

ETA: I don’t know why, but they cut the price by 50% on the 2yo chestnut TB colt I mentioned earlier. Someone needs to snap that boy up, he looks like a very chill dude.

He is LOVELY!! :heart_eyes: I would scoop him up if I could. I am a purist but I would have that DHH in my barn!

Hey guys, there’s a few nice geldings and kids horses at Bowie for anyone looking. Andy crosses, too.

I am SUPPOSED to be doing other things, BUT

Look at this slow WB gelding. He’s only 8. Might be worth it for a hubby horse.

I want him!

I’m not in a position to afford a horse however, so I will hope some other COTHer or other lovely horse person gets themselves a project who is likely to be gorgeous in the end.

His page is gone, hopefully he has a great new home.

Someone got a good one! Selfishly hoping he gets a thread here and we get to follow along with his new life.

This little TB needs to win the owner lottery like Nosey did. He’s got a cut on his back hind that doesn’t look to be a life limiting experience.

Anyone need a cute TB project?

I’d call that a bit more that a scratch (auctioneer). Kind of sad to see a 2 yo tb in that condition. I’ve been watching the tb young sales online and they all look in tip top condition. Poor little dude. I hope someone good takes him on as a sweet project.

Nice, mysterious Bay TB Gelding alert!

He doesn’t have a tattoo or a chip, but he has tons of class. Want him but someone else needs to get him, it’s the busy season on the farm.

You’re right, that appears to be a really nice bay TB type - how’d he fall through the cracks?
