I can do PayPal too. Would appreciate the information.
I sent a few carrots via Paypal.
Gosh, wish I were younger by a decade and still rode huntseat. I just have a feeling about that dark bay. He looks like a big ol’ goof, diving for the hay. He’s probably half feral, but harmless. Can’t wait to live vicariously through this adventure!
I am anxiously awaiting updates on both these youngsters, but especially the bay. Very very nice mover. Make him famous @Heinz_57 !!
I’ll do my best I think the lazy redhead is going to be a surprise.
I’ve just got to put a few finishing touches on their quarantine field tomorrow, but otherwise we’re ready!
I hope that the Dutch Duo settle in just fine @Heinz_57
There’s a nice little Morgan gelding available at the moment: https://www.bowietexaslivestock.com/product/5010-nice-shapey-morgan-gelding/
They’ve also added another big Dutch gelding, a saddlebred mare, and a few others that came off of an Amish truckload.
I’d love a Morgan, but I wouldn’t love another horse, if that makes sense!
That saddlebred mare really caught my eye. Looks like a sweet, fancy gal. As did the Friesian sport gelding, and the chestnut TB mare that was all business.
Unfortunately the list is never empty
Thank you for taking them. I sent a small token toward your expenses. I just fattened up a loaner horse that was babysitting my mare so I’m a bit short of $$ right now but once he goes maybe I can send more.
Meant to reply to Heinz 57
Bless you!
I know we’re all waiting impatiently… They’ve been loaded and are on the way. Once they get here I’ll give them their own thread.
You’ve earned two gold stars in the great scorecard in the sky for this. Can’t wait to see their progress, although from the back they look in pretty decent shape.
Oh, the bay is looking at us!
They are here! Well, actually they got here an hour ago but like always, everything happens at once. After I post this I’ll go make them their own thread.
ETA: Here’s their thread - More New Horses: Bert and Ernie
Someone PLEASE pick up this guy:
He is JUST the sweetest looking boy.
Nice horse, but he seems to trot slightly head nodding off on his right front?
If so, it could be nothing, a bad moment, the rider, a stone bruise, or why he is there, what do you think?
There’s definitely a head bob there
Not sure if she’s still available because I haven’t looked today, but there was a beautiful grey mule on there. Granted, I’m partial to mules for whatever reason, but she seemed like a nice type
Edit: here she is:
Also, I’ve not been this tempted in awhile…but this is a nice older (15) gelding. He does require some investigation and rehab for that swelling on his leg, but what a nice type. For the price, he’s one I’d take a shot on to see if he could be rehabbed into a nice low-key riding/basic trail horse.
Why do I want a lame plain bay gelding?
Because he’s adorable and looks like a sweetheart! Oh, I hope he gets someone who gives him a chance to heal and be a best friend.
As an aside, WHY to sellers think I need a horse I can stand up on? Never understood that move. And, generally, I try to AVOID sliding off my horse’s butt.
I am so, so tempted.
I think in this case the standing and sliding was just to show the horses disposition a little bit. It demonstrated that he’s not all that reactive and seems to be somewhat tolerant or trusting of whatever weird thing the human is doing. You can tell a few things about how the horse handles someone doing “abnormal” things to them. Their body language and reaction can give you a little tell into who they are. A picture of someone standing on a horse isn’t as meaningful, IMO.
He is nice!
The roan in the background really caught my eye!
This Standardbred mare looks lovely!
