HOORAY...... SHAVER'S EATING BEET PULP & GRAIN
I just want to thank my dearest friend, Donna Herold (Qtr Rae), for taking the risk of allowing this little fella on her property and giving him lots of good lovin, feed and probios! She's a true friend that I'm honored to know!
Just got off the phone with her and she said that he's consuming his beet pulp/grain mixture quite voraciously. She feels so bad because he's petrified of humans, because all he knows of them is they mean "terror". She gave her filly and he a probios to help prevent ulcers, etc. God bless you, friend!
Here's a photo she took this morning of him chowing down on his new cuisine!

P.S. - DBARJ (Jenny) - Will you keep us posted on the progress of getting these horses away from the man. When I shook the man's hand, he introduced himself as Bill.....so we're probably talking about the right guy.
Can we keep this in a positive light.....perhaps if we can get some folks together who are able to buy the babies from him (he upcharged me only 25 dollars, probably because I showed kindness), maybe we can educate him on proper hauling procedures and help make him a productive member of the community. Two years ago, I had a closed head injury which caused me to make unsound life choices that impacted my family and horses....thus I sold all but two to homes that could provide the emotional needs of the horses. Flame away!
That said, I, for one, live in a delicate glass house and know better than to cast stones. Frankly, I got "juju" vibes from the breeder and really wanted to take a pipe corral panel to the breeder....he has a HARD HEART. If mercy is shown to this man (Bill).....and I have no trouble approaching him, perhaps we can get these horses away from him.
Okay, folks, the cost for the weanlings that were sold were as follows...I'm not sure which horses went to him....but it's a picture of what went on at the sale:
WEANLINGS:
Filly $175 Sorrel
Colt $ 70 Black
Filly $220 SORRY, DONNA (QTR RAES) IS THE LUCKY BUYER!!
Filly $180 Roan Pinto
Colt $700......(Ashley's gorgeous new hunk!) Congratulations!
Filly $250 Pinto
Filly $175 very sickly
Colt $130 Chocolate dapple
Colt $ 75 Bay (the one I have nightmares about)
Colt $110 DUN PAINTED A CLOSE SHAVE........(I purchased him for $131)
Colt $110 Bay
Colt $110 Bay Pinto
Colt $100 Didn't note color
Colt $115 Bay colt (double registered)
Filly $110 Black Grade GORGEOUS filly
Colt $115 Chocolate with white star
He also purchased other stallions, etc at rock bottom prices. Some goregous primative dun stallions would make excellent driving prospects and went for $130 and $140. What a shame!
I'm so proud of everyone who's taken an interest in these little critters. If someone is interested in one of these animals, I'll be happy to take it upon myself to contact the guy (if Jenny can find his phone number) and pick them up and rehome them. He'll probably want $30-$40 extra per horse, but they are all registered AMHR....some double.
We have 25 acres and a quarrantine pasture. Those who wish to take in one of these horses he purchased, I'll be happy to make every effort to see if we can get the horses from an indelicate situation. Please feel free to PM me or phone...always happy to meet folks with a big heart!
