Auction report from the Cowtown Registered Horse Sale in California last weekend. This is good to check out for (a) anybody who may be looking for any of these registered horses and (b) anybody who needs to see how dirt cheap even nice, registered stock are selling for. The high sellers were AQHA geldings - and I'm guessing they were good broke ones, the kind who used to auction for $5000.
Again, if you are going to breed anything this year, I hope you know for sure there is a demand for it that will drive the price far past these auction prices we're seeing. If you aren't sure, don't do it! The economy is not getting better...seriously, it's not. If you just want a weanling, there are going to be tons out there that you can buy far under their "normal" value.
Prices marked with an asterisk (*) are horses who no-saled.

TGIF, so we have a Friday Featured Rescue! This is Family Book, an eight year old Thoroughbred gelding at Mountain View Rescue in Kentucky. He is suitable for light riding and sounds like he has a wonderful personality!Mountain View is doing a number of things right from what I can see (and hear)...note the public display of how they did on an equine rescue evaluation and the huge selection of dated pictures showing improvement in their horses. Very nice!
I also want to update on last Friday's FFR...his rescuer rode him this week and says he's really, really broke...leg yields, lots of advanced training. He just starts off a bit tense for the first five minutes so he needs someone soft and sensitive to ride him.
