If you love horses that much you wouldn't dump them at auction for kill buyers. That is completely descipable. You should do the right the thing and keep them until a suitable home can be found.

No way would I EVER send a horse to auction! Sending a lame, old horse is a guaranteed a trip to slaughter. My TWH is 20 yrs. old but in excellent health, shape. But come the day when I can't ride him, he will stay with me till the end. I also board my horse so I will still pay for his keep till the end. I hope someone can get through this person's head about how horrible the slaughter pipe line is. Sad.

Clearly you didn’t care what happened to the HORSES so long as you made your bigger better deal. Down here in Georgia we call people like that ‘hustlers’. Animal welfare doesn’t matter, human welfare doesn’t matter (because I’ve seen some barely green horses you sell as broke to ride) the ONLY thing that matters is that you fatten your wallet.

For all those complaining about slaughter bound horses: How many times have you watched your neighbours or friends breeding their mare because they wanted a foal to raise or sell? How many “aww that’s so cute” comments have you made on foal videos? The problem is the large population of unacceptable horses. It’s similar to the literally millions of dogs and cats being put down in shelters. People don’t care to spay and neuter, or they think there’s a good permanent home for every critter they bring into the world. Affordable euthanasia for horses needs to become a part of our horse culture. I feel so bad when an owner gets old or loses their resources to keep their horse. When a horse cannot be sustained by its owner any longer, for whatever reason, there should be no shame in saying goodbye in this humane manner. The owner would know the horse didn’t end up in a kill pen injured and suffering. This would stem the slaughter pipeline somewhat if that’s what you really want when you tell people to not sell at auctions. Quit judging individual owners and shame the excess breeding that’s going on if you want slaughter to stop. Promote affordable euthanasia and disposal. Take the shame away from that. Many say it’s not just the slaughter, but the cruel transport and barbaric methods of handling and killing at slaughter. But making horse slaughter illegal in the US effectively put control of it out of your hands. So here we are. Temple Grandin is the go-to person on the matter of humane handling at slaughter plants. Rant over. Cheers.

Great video. Very interesting. It was great to ride along. You guys did great with the little calf. That’s amazing. Those little guys don’t have much of a chance and it sounds like you did very well with all of them. As for the fillies, the buckskin looked like it was limping a little. And I hope they are as young as you thought they are. My boyfriends grandpa bought a beautiful Palomino yearling stud colt at that same auction in Arizona. He sent him to a trainer to be halter broke and broke to ride and found out even though he was small and looked young he was really 11 years old. Blake sure seems to be a great young man. This world needs more like him.

I know that taking the horses to the auction is a quick sell but if the kill buyers get them their remaining life is horrible and the way they kill them is horrible sometimes the horses aren't even dead when start slaughtering them . It's not always about making money . Also with all the diseases at the auctions I'm surprised you don't quarantine the horses you buy from there .

Hi Palmer family. Those little chicks following their mama at the beginning of the video were adorable. OK, you know me...I have a question: What are those "masks" (excuse my ignorance) on some of your horses? I assume they can see through them because in the video one went right through an opening in the fence. I was thinking maybe it was because of the flies but then not all wear them. So at the risk of sounding extremely ignorant, I thought I'd ask. The buckskin you purchased at auction is gorgeous. Hi Vicki. It's nice to see you. You all stay well and cool.

@amandak31983 жыл бұрын
Of course they did, one is 20, one has a limp, run through loose, and sold cheap...then they comment "I hope not!"...really? I mean if you're gonna dump them for something new that you can dump again in a couple months, might as well be straightforward about it. Isn't that the point of having a KZbin channel that chronicles the things you do in life? As a trainer, I would never go to an auction and buy a loose horse for under $400 and expect it to work for my kid. The people that do that are the ones that don't have a clue and when they don't like the horses anymore, they take it to auction. When you put a horse in the slaughter pipeline, they might not go to kill that day, but they probably will in the near future. Every stop that horse makes is more and more confusing and their behavior gets worse and worse. They get labeled- standoffish, spooky, jumpy, mean, dangerous...
