Buying from Bowie “kill pen”?

Helluva trip from Texas to Eastern Ontario for her nieces without being able to try first. Good double enabling attempt though!

One or both DHHs? :grin:

Do you have a Venmo account? That seemed to work best when we were pitching in to help Nic the Stray Cat get dental surgery.

@MNick would you still be able to offer quarantine facilities if we helped with hay and feed?

If I’m going to lose my mind I might as well lose it twice. At least with two of them, I can throw them together in the far field for quarantine time and they won’t be lonely. And I do have Venmo (it’s how I pay the alfalfa man!). :wink:

Just so we’re clear, he’s a very sweet but green 5yo :joy: not quite kid’s pony material yet.

I can kick in some $ too! These 2 are killing me but I have very limited space here that really can’t support another one unfortunately.

I love her videos. My favorite horse she picked up that I would also have chosen is Ziggy the Arabian.

The senior mare she rescued wasn’t in great shape and she debated whether to show her on her channel in case she didn’t make it. But she’s thriving now and looking great!

I’m glad she’s making money to support herself and the horses. I learn a lot from her and the videos are enjoyable to watch—Montana is gorgeous.

Do you feel comfortable posting the QR code for your Venmo account on this thread?

I’ve run into requirements to add the recipient’s phone number when you search by name. Plus it saves you from having to PM everyone asking for your username.

As soon as you provide it, I’ll send a donation in honor of Bo! :grin:

I don’t have a problem with that, just don’t want to get myself in trouble with the mods.

I’m also happy to PM anyone if they want to help but don’t do venmo (or you can PM me). I’ve got most of the apps/methods.

@MNick I have an empty ~3ac pasture right now that they can go straight into, it’s on the opposite side of the property of the paddocks my other horses are currently in so it should be fine for quarantine.

What I need to find is someone to haul them down here - it would save me an 8 hour round trip that I don’t really have time for at the moment.

Which town are you located in? :grimacing: I’ve had to pay haulers because they don’t allow two horse slants for pickup. But I wonder if these two are trailer broke and maybe they would bend the rules :joy:

Oh, I love this thread and you people. Auction listings (at Bowie and closer to home) give me all the feels.

Thank you to those who have the space and heart to give at least some of these horses a soft landing or a fresh start. I’m happy to kick in for some of the heaps of money that’s also required.

I’m in Bedias, it’s ~250 miles door to door. I have an oversized 3H slant and honestly if I can’t find a hauler headed this way, I could do it… it’s just a royal PIA. I have a puppy at home, this weekend is packed, next week is the last week of school AND my mom is coming to visit after that :rofl:

I know they can probably arrange transport for me, at a cost. :grimacing: They aren’t open yet so I can’t ask. I did post on one of the bigger local FB groups just now, hoping to find someone that is coming back this way from DFW with an empty trailer. I’d imagine they are “trailer broke” in the sense that they were probably stuffed on a stock trailer once to get to the auction :joy:

:joy::joy::joy: you’re probably right about their trailer experience!

Would you feel comfortable with me posting on the actual post to try to get more donations flowing through?

If anyone reaches out I will give them a link to this thread for your venmo!

Nope, go for it! I assume you mean the posts on Bowie’s FB?

I just hit the button, sooo… they’re mine now, for better or worse. :rofl: I’d really prefer to have all the shipping details lined out first, but whatever. I didn’t want to wait any longer.
