Who Needs a Weanling?

Postby Kelo » Sat Sep 28, 2019 11:51 pm

Was browsing the Bowie (Texas) auction horses, and noticed this super fancy weanling ( :shock:) of unknown origin:

Look at him trot! :shock: $425 if someone is looking for a project....

Bowie TX is a sale barn/kill pen located outside of the Dallas-Ft Worth area. I and a few others I know have bought through here, and horses have been as advertised. I just figured I'd share just in case it might help him find a home....

Yes, it is my understanding that they pull potentially desirables ones out and offer them for sale for a few weeks via Facebook/Youtube, then if the the horses don’t sell, they eventually end up on the slaughter truck.

I don’t have room or I’d get him myself. No idea the breed but that is a fancy trot for a few hundred bucks. I hope someone rescues him!

I would happily donate $75 to anyone who needs some incentive. Seriously. Obviously, must be a good home, preferably someone on board. Did the narrator say there were 3 more??
Kelo - have you posted this to FB page? The more eyes the better.

Yes...there are always more horses at Bowie, they usually have about 5-10 for sale at any given time. This one just tugged at me. If you click their user name, you can see the other horses they have. When the videos disappear, the horses have sold or shipped.

Not sure which FB page you're talking about, but feel free to share it anywhere! I have no affiliation, just trying to help the little guy.

I also think his expression appears very smart and "interactive".
