April SwiftStorm when was that?

Right?!!

What does it mean being sold for pounds?...

Cat Lover31 pounds as in our currency in the U.K., the gelding sold for £100 which is around $130

yeees I´m so confused...this can be right xD Maybe they are not ridable? Even then 100 is soooo less

lol same, but they smack the hammer when it's final.

@@elliteequine3785 Yeah, but if I was there as a first time bidder I would stop bidding when they said sold the first time, and by the time I understood that it was still going it would probably be too late.

@@JustHorseyMie yeah... but i'd have looked at auctions before i actually went, also it's just common knowledge 😂 but lol icant understand either, all i har is owhcbeionethousandrefbweitwohousdrsdeiobftqothreefpourfivenneeffnine

@@elliteequine3785 Yeah, we don't have horse auctions in my country, not for non-millionairs.

@@elliteequine3785 ends up buying a horse for 5thousand instead of thousand . that would be me HAHA wait what i thought they said thousand

Becky should stay away from chocolate next auction.

Sian Palmer Brown agreed 😬

@@emilylipsitz she was saying one of the ponies is too small , so yeah I would say she is aware of being to big

@@gracepurewal oh ok thanks 😁.

guardians animal rescue/ state certified 501c3 it might not be hungry it’s not an issue

they just look like they're napping lol, horses aren't eating 24/7 actually

Suave Nini yes I know that but most of them will snack a bit. And I was saying they he just looked so so broken with his head down. I rescued two horses from auction who were headed to slaughter. One was a thoroughbred and the other an all black beautiful quarter horse. And they had already been sold to the meat truck when I saw them and I ended up paying him twice what he paid to get them. I’m sure he pocketed the extra. Anyhow when I got them home it was so easy to see they had been hit a lot. But they relaxed and went in pasture and their nice warm stall with a foot of soft straw lol. But anyhow when they had been there quite a few months and gained weight and health, they would follow me all over the place. So I decided to saddle up the thoroughbred and he was amazing to ride. And so was the quarter horse. They knew I loved them so much and wasn’t ever going to hurt them. Had the carrier out two days after I got them home and the vet the same day. And they give me such joy. Many times I think that they rescued me. Not the other way around. I tell them all my secrets every day while eating. Sorry for the long message. It just warms my heart to see abused animals saved.

The black mare was only 4 year old and she was fine when I looked at her she was just hasn’t been handed a lot but she was happy enough when I was looking at her before auction he owner was a lovely man also I don’t know how you looked up the results up as they haven’t posted then yet

Megan Cook did she go to a good hoMd s

Why are they going for so cheap?

@@Staki6908 they may not have good bloodlines or they do and they just didnt live up to them.

It’s actually normal for some horses to be cheap I got my cob for free as the owner just wanted rid off it and she was in perfect condition and nothing was wrong with her and my mate got her cob for 50 pounds

Todd Ison Some horses were wild and are being sold, practically a profit. And some horses may have had an injury in the past life. Bloodlines could have failed also. Most horses going up for auction, u want to check their legs for strength and to make sure they don’t have an injury or I’ll be spending a lot ($1000-$3000) for a vet bill. I usually feel down the leg, and make sure it’s not swelling

Auctions are cheap because people take certain risks when buying, for example not knowing the horse's full history/possible health implications just like the bay. They also tend to sell more youngstock, unbroken or completely untouched horses where sellers just want to make a quicker profit rather than keep and train to sell privately which takes months/years. A great place for people like Megan who buy to sell, provided you know what to look for.

Abbey Thompson the Connemara?

There was lots of mares

Ik. My favourite breed is the throughbread. They are amazing and I own one

equestrian me thoroughbred**

i know! At auctions they are sold so cheap!

Auction horses are often deemed as not high enough quality or health to sell privately (depending on the auction you go to). Many people dump sick, injured, young, old, weak, medically problematic, green and etc horses at auction and dont care about where they go. They also sometimes receive horses from people who passed away family who dont know enough or cant sell.

ONLY $20!!!!!

Megan Cook did u get it

Livi MossEq nah sadly got out bidder x

Ah bad luck

Looked like a lovely horse

@@megancook1199 how many horses do you own?

Taz Lover 😂😂😂

Elphick.Event.Ponies 😂💖

Aw same!

That is exactly what I'm going to do too 😂

this is exactly how i feel

I want a horse so bad. Ugh but parents try saving money for one!

That’s how I got my first horse… I convinced my parents to let me get a horse for my birthday I only had $500 USD and I got my horse cino for $475 I’m so happy to have her

Shelly Welsh yesss ngl, I may or may not be toying with the idea of importing a cob. 😂

American ones sound like spastic idiots

@@EvansBrosRacing yeah whenever I whatch American TV shows and there's an auctioneer I always think they sound right weird ( btw I'm English )

@@EvansBrosRacing yesss they really do

Hahah Ik I’m from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤣👍

Once I found out you were Scottish I re read this in a Scottish accent.... I’m reading my comment in one... WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME

dude alaska too! people are very proud of their horses.

I’m from Manitoba and the OTTB can sell pretty cheap

They're usually really cheap

yes so that is because in England, there our loads of wild and broken in horses and ponies. It is the home of our sport. In USA horse- back riding isn't too popular which results in limited horses and ponies in each auction/sale. People in USA would rather keep the horses and ponies as they are expensive compared to England. Whereas in England since there are a ton of horses and ponies, people can give their horses and ponies for auction if they don't need them, don't ride them etc. Basically, in other words if you have more of something the lesser the value is and if you have less of something, the more the value is. (I am not saying that everyone is like that. There are a lot of people who understand how privileged they are to own horses and ponies.)

I haven't understood the story of that horse 🙁

Giorgia Daniela Zonelli sarcoids are like growths that can come up really anywhere on the horses body which can turn cancerous i believe. They have to be removed by a vet, cut out and stitched up. It also may have failed the vet check for another reason. Correct me if I'm wrong on any of the above^ Becky decided not to buy it last time for that reason, and now it was for sale at the auction again...but that a basic explanation

kay in Texas there are somany top notch auction places! My trainer goes to one

yeah, instead of shipping them to canada to the slaughter

Nicki Barker yes next door neighbour is the mare still alive?

@@SarahJones-wy5us Don't know. I live next door to the previous owner

@@nickibarker4738 I doubt it

I can’t find Beckys page on Instagram though x

lucy tait it’s bits_and_bobs or it could be bits_and _bobz. It’s on private x

Dorothy Bennett I don’t understand why some people buy horses to mistreat them . There’s so many people that would give anything to have a horse and love it .

@@angeldivine408 ikr every horse has a personality and some are brighter then others, but my appaloosa is so funny and such a character😂 he’s a rescue that we adopted a year ago. then our arab, she has a very sassy personality and classical mare she changes her mood very quickly😂

@@elizabethdiscostrong7188 oh my mare was so sassy also 😂 she was a bay and she was the kindest but definitely made sure to get her way 😂❤️

Debra Bish I try not to think about it as it’s worrying how cheap they go 😕

It is so weird why they don’t sell them online for a lot more and to good owners

Horrible as it is, often you’re outbidding the meat man at sales. Especially if they can get approx £1 per lb of actual meat. Breaks my heart but actually for some it’s the kindest option rather than being passed from pillar to post or unsuitable/unknowledgable homes. 😔

Debra Bish many of them do.

@@elphick.event.ponies why are they buying the TBs instead of the other horses? Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what it seems like
