Goat Fancier
my friend saw this horse 1 month ago exactly, she knows the condition he is in.sawfish99 said:I have worked with a couple of horses that were rescued from the auctions and even trailered one (belgian) from PA back CT for a friend. In general, my experience is most horses at auction are there for a reason so I am always very wary of getting an auction rescue. What makes it even worse is the auctions are far enough away that you can't visit the horse in person before the bail period ends (typically a week). So if you rescue a horse, it ends up being sight unseen.
The Belgian I trailered for a friend cost her $700 (I think) plus almost $400 in vet bills and $200 in board for a quarantine period. That's an awful lot for a sight unseen horse, especially since he is old and has chronic shoulder problems.
