They rode him into the ring though.<br />It was harder to retrain that horse than if he'd been totally green.kestrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03253025366100154732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6666513011419975671.post-75525582671257974172009-10-05T13:36:38.982-07:002009-10-05T13:36:38.982-07:00Nothing annoys me more (other than skinny uncared ...Nothing annoys me more (other than skinny uncared for horses) is the person who comes in, riding their western horse with two hands and tries to cover up good training with speed. They man-handle the horse around, while it has it's head in the air with it's mouth pried wide open, while the jackass rider tries to make it spin or slide in a 20 foot sale ring. Most of these "cattle rings" have cement floors with a little sawdust over them and it's only a matter of time until the horses spinning around, fall. Too many seller think speed shows that the horse is broke, but the horses usually can't neck rein or even know the basics. Then so yahoo buys it for their kid and surprise!ponykinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05836015812738665162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6666513011419975671.post-30264994993481828352009-10-05T07:59:58.105-07:002009-10-05T07:59:58.105-07:00Totally agree!

I went to an auction once, horses were somewhat clean, some registered that had papers (but most registered were fugly paints), some good horses that are just plain stressed out and cracked in the pen. I was disapointed, but there were no kill buyers there, only one BIG dealer and he usually resells the horses to good homes. Most horses went to good homes, some went back home. I live in a secluded part of Canada and most horses that are sold at auction (unless being a beef auction) will not go to meat. My pet peeve about this is people that take their horse to auction and then don't sell them because they can't bear the price it's going for.... if you bring him to auction... it's because you are willing to accept that the horse sells for any amount of money... for me auction is a last resort when you can no longer keep your horse... still had many good horses and a pony (welsh) that sold for over $1,200.00!OneDandyHorsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02355057635042941344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6666513011419975671.post-85673885675783227082009-10-05T06:17:29.254-07:002009-10-05T06:17:29.254-07:00Amen sister.
