I did!
no ponies -not that I need or am looking for a pony.
Lots of standardbreds, which I guess is the norm
perhaps there needs to be a boycott on supporting the industry until they learn to not treat thier rejects like they are disposable waste.
the lame 3yr old stb made me sad for him.
Some nice horses there too though! fat, shiny, well taken care of.

Were there many horses there for the sale? Many go to 'homes', did you notice?

I did see the appy, 6yr old mare? nice and round. Who sends a horse like that to the meat auction?
I can't tell between meat buyers and private buyers, so i cant say who went to whom.

Meat is sent to "14 lot....whatever"
or "200 ...lot whatever"
Those are the two who are usually there. If they have to ask for a number, it is generally a private buyer.

Too risky to bring home a horse from OLEX while i'm pregnant

Smart girl Freemount.
Not to mention you will be SHOCKED at what you THINK you need to spend as opposed to what you WILL spend on a babs lol!!!!!!
If I may make a suggestion (totally OT), wait till after you have your showers to buy stuff. The things people buy are UNREAL...

No info, just "a nice pair of colts, sold on the dollar, buyers choice, take one or two"
I wonder if we will see them resurface on kijiji or EMG. Hopefully they were not bought for breeding purposes, cute as they were.

Noodle: I agree too many "mutt" stallions out there they'd be much nicer geldings
SavingGrace: Oh I know I already have a pile of things from family that just happen to pass by the baby section and couldn't help but buy the cute something or other..Hubby is a huge john deere fan you wouldn't believe what you can find in john deere for babies.. I already have John Deere baby work boots, they are the cutest thing
Now to convice hubby baby needs a mini, then a pony when its a bit older, then a light horse, then finally a clyde
