New Arrivals

We are expecting! well she is expecting. We are suppose to on monday recieve a mare and her filly. They are missouri Fox Trotters or at least he mother is. From the video the baby didn't foxtrot. We have also already decided on names. The mother will be Esperanza which means Hope in spanish and the filly will be Second Chance. For short they will be called Z and Chance. There bailout money was 800+ and it had to be raised to get them out. And gosh ive been rambling on but i forgot to say how we got into this.

The couple was dropped off at a large auction barn in Pennsylvania. Since the economy is so bad nobody wants to buy them so wha thappens is when nobody makes a bid the meat buyers will buy them and they buy by weight. so if you have a 900 lb horse the horse will be $900 or in there case i think it was probably 50 or 25 cents per pound.. anyways the meatbuyers buy them and the horses go to the kill pens where they have to wait until the meat buyer gets enough horses to ship to Canada or Mexico. Luckily Another Chance for Horses was able to get a hold of these horse and made a deal with the meat buyers that if they could find someone to take them that they would pay there bail. So I saw them on the website and was able to get a hold of them. If they pass vet check and hopefully don't have strangles they will arrive on monday.

But if everything goesto plan and we do get them we have to quarintine them for a week which means bleaching, and disinfectant cream. oh and did i mention the baby is 5 months not weaned and has had little human contact. If you know anythign about training babies you start them right when they are out of the womb so we will have a hell of a time. hopefully though in 6 months we will be able to list them for sale.

il keep you guys posted.
