I had tried to advertise him on the web on like equinenow and on craigslist for a while and i needed to sell him as I dont have the time or the room
This colt has super nice bloodlines and moslty straight egyptian and he is the 2yr old out of my broodmare SA AKIRA JAMEEL that foaled Pacey
This grey colt is a nice boy with a nice head and neck and very smart. First time being out of the pasture so to say and goin to town
He was calm til sale time but thats to be expected he was real nervous in the sale ring all the people the announcer and commotion but handled real well
First when i got there i thought DANG they segregated me ! put me in the back farthest corner stall in the barn
I was the ONLY arabian there ! lots of Quarters and Paints mostly cowbred horses and lots of ponys and grade horses
I paid $100 for the fee to enter him in the sale they had 8%commision and then not to mention the cost of payin a friend to HAUL HIM From my house to the sale that was $120. plus the cost of me to stay over night and food so ive got a lil invested
My turn to go in the sale ring. I was in and out prob like 3min he was being good no panic or rearing just nervous and not standing or movin quiet. First off the guy couldnt pronouce his name cause it was an arabic name nad his sires name he couldnt say SA SHABIN okay how hard is that SHABEEN ! gesh
crazy huh cause he wasnt a quarter and wasnt a peppy san badger or a doc bar or oh a chic o lena bred cow horse
NO BODY wanted to buy him and he was a 2yr old and anybody that knows arabs knows you dont break them til they are 3. and anyway so even with the round pen work thats been done and all that handling I sold him today to the highest bidder
I had to let him go because i PROMISED my hubby that I would sell him because I had brought my new mini filly mimi home before he left and i was supposed to wait. anyway longstory short
When they dropped the hammer and said sold $85.00! I wanted to
The whole time im lookin at the ground, can't look at anybody and i busted in to tears and was
NOT because i sold my gelding but because he only went for $85 and i had to PAY the SALE COMPANY to sell my horse today because he didnt bring enuff to cover the catalog fee I wrote them a check for $22.00! people probably thought I was a nut case !crying like i was the rest of the day. Alot of people came to me that were selling horses there today and said they were sorry he didn;t bring much that I had a nice horse.
Why are people so freaking breed biased ! I just dont understand. to me there is RIGHT breed for a good horse ! or a bad color for a good horse ! :arg!
I think i could have sold him without his papers as a grade gelding and brought at least $300 for him !
So today I said a very very
here is a pic of the gelding that I sold today and thank you guys for letting me kinda vent im just in total shock
