Comments on: Auction Report: British Columbia http://www.fuglyblog.com/2009/auction-report-british-columbia/ Snarky commentary on the breeding of poor quality horses, silly or abusive training techniques, and pretty much anything else that annoys me!

I know his nephew resells these types so hopefully he keeps track aswell as I do and is able to contact his clients for thier updates. If so I will happily post thier photos for all to see. Although I can see by the posting dates that no one has been here since December 09....perhaps they moved onto bigger and brighter subjects....after all spring is in the air!!

The palomino is a Doc Summer Wages(owned by Ian Tyson) AQHA, 3 years old. The Overo guy though would have surely gone for slaughter at the sale i bought him at. I was hired to lead him in...I bid at $400 and no one else bid. He is beautiful and kind, super gentle. He won 1st. place halter class for all other breed males at the 2009 IPE. Before I owned him I have no idea what they did with him....as in most cases, I don't wanna know. P/S...my mares sole purpose in life is not to reproduce so have no fear about my breeding practices with them. I also probably could get photos of the above mentioned sales horses but I'm unsure how to load them onto this site...fill me in. I only saw one photo so I know it can be done. Marie Hello again,

I'm not judging that. I do wonder if, given that you really do know the score as you're at all the auctions, these stallions you're talking about have breed show show records?

I watched the video about 6 times now....kill buyers did not buy the 2 horses that everyone is carrying on about?? I'm unsure who took this video but they are not correct on thier information. I know for a for a fact the black TB and the chestnut Trekhaner were not sent for slaughter. I know who's trailer they got into around midnight that night. They are alive and well.

My name is Marie. I own 2nd.Go Horse Placement. Thank you for your comments in regards to my at least getting on these unknown animals that I have been hired to lead/ride into this sale. Most of the owners were not in attendance, and some I felt were acceptional and kind. I also have to add....the the black thoroughbred mare and the chestnut trekhaner did not go for slaughter.... I helped load the truck the next day and these animals were not included. One of our main buyers is not a KB....but has a nephew that resells these out of Alberta....not for slaughter!! So rest a bit easier now....I will also be at the sale on saturday march 6.....come and say hello!! I will attach my website so you can see what I do with all my horses! www.secondgohorses.com Have a beautiful spring! Marie Hello. My name is Marie. I own 2nd.Go Horse Placement.

I’m the girl riding and leading alot of the horses in this video. My name is Marie, I own a horse placement program named 2nd.Go Horses. For about thirty years….actually thirty-two years off and on I have been hired by the owners to bring these horses into the sales ring. Steadily though for the past eight years. Not just in Armstrong but this is my favorite, my social event of the month! I do know all the KBs as you call them and I have bought many many horses from them, brought them home, worked them, reminded them they are a horse, taught them whats to be expected and acceptable and resold them back with proper homes that keep their manners and respect on course. I have had to buy a few back (always a mare!!) but compared to happy forever homes….hardly worth mentioning. I do get many foundered brood mares and herniated colts(given to me) but I think my vet gives me a smokin good deal on these hernia/gelds and I’m able to make good on the debt acrued. The foundered mares are papered, front shoes all year, and one in particular gave me an awesome foal (filly) that won 1st. place in the I.P.E. for 2009…..not bad for a designated papered slaughter horse!! Maybe some of you saw us there? I also showed my AQHA Palomino Stallion and my Overo Paint stallion…..with these three I won 2 1st. place ribbons and 1 2nd. place ribbon….ALL THESE HORSES WERE BOUGHT IN AUCTION!! So go easy on the judgeing of me….I read in a few of the comments they specifically hated me because I was smiling while I lead these big underweight guys in….it isnt me that made them underweight….and believe me if they were kind and sound they did come home with me most likely!! or at least to my neighbours….I think I might have hauled the horse they named Chance actually to the neighbours…. sounds like the big skinny guy they were talking about anyway. Thanks also to miss mgrullagirl up there for defending me!!! She’s gotta be the best neighbour ever!! If you wanna see my website this is the link to it….www.secondgohorses.com Just remember…..ANYONE CAN BID AT THE AUCTION!!! ….. thanks for reading this, Marie. Hello..

Average price was about .30-.35 / lb. The horses were driven through as opposed to being led. Very very sad! Standardbreds with racing plates still on, thoroughbreds, drafts, ponies..... Two KB were in attendance. I was at an auction a couple of weeks ago in Southern Ontario. Average price was about .30-.35 / lb. The horses were driven through as opposed to being led. Very very sad!

Breeding hundreds of mare each year and then selling at the auctions for 25 is hardly worth the life that might have been lost. It is sad how we treat Gods creatures that were brought to give us joy. I dont see the joy in that part! But I kind of believe if we dont support those breeders that are like puppy mills maybe they will stop!!!!!!!!!!
