I was one of the people who bought one of the drafts (lot 2) on Monday. All of the ardennes (Belgium drafts) were sold, the ones that didn't sell in the ring were sold afterward. They all came from church farm which if known for their abuse and neglect of animals. The were forced to sell them all in the sale so that they wouldn't be taken away. Luckily, they are no longer breeding or selling horses, which is good because the poor things were in awful condition, I wouldn't be suprised if some of them didn't make it. Loes (lot 2 which I have now renamed Athena) is getting on well and is settled in her new home and on the way to becoming healthy again.

That grey Irish sports horse was lush 😍

I would love to see you get a big horse to do some higher level eventing on!!!

I stumbled on these videos by accident I thought ‘oh another posh snobby eventer’ and then she mentions her overdraft and now I’m thinking, ‘wait, she’s a normal person?’ queue me now 17 hours deep in your blogs. Love it ❤️❤️

I know it's not Becky's channel but I'm interested in seeing her yard and ponies. Not as in depth as your yard tour or meet the ponies but a little visit would be fun :)

I don't know how you go to these and not come home with a horse every time lol. My heart goes out to those drafts - I hope they landed softly in their final sales.

Those shetlands stole my heart.. But that grey was just amazing.. Always wanted a dapple grey

“Sponsored by Nutella”😂😂 had me cackling

I know there is a difference in currency, but I’m still shocked that the sport horse types are selling for less than 2000, in the United States they’d easily be reaching five figures, our retiring racehorses sell for 2000, and they’re not always in good condition/sound

I love that you showed the catalog listings before you arrived, but could you scroll just a little bit slower next time? I also loved seeing you making notes on your program during the sale about what individuals were sold for, even if they didn’t sell.

never fails to make me laugh when I hear more about Becky the crazy horse lady 😂

Those drafts, poor things 😔 I hope they find a lovely home soon! Love that chestnut gelding and the big gray 😍

Sad to see Belgians that thin! Hardly any muscle on any of them! Also: how is it still legal anywhere to dock tails (especially that short - they can't be more than two vertebrae long)?!?! But thanks for showing the hard bits from time to time - always nice when a youtuber isn't guilding the lily. And: I now want cookies.....

Oh the Idea with the catalog is really nice. We can read what we want to know and you don´t have to explain everything :D thanks

I love seeing the auction ones. Of course especially when you buy something, but in general they are entertaining for someone like me who has never been to one!

Really enjoy coming to the sales with you. Thankyou for letting us see the catalog... I spent ages choosing what I wanted☺️. Then was great to see the horses to match them up with the catalog.... but especially good to see what they actually sold for. So yes... lots more of these please‼️

Love these sale vlogs!!! Really makes my day because I’m in the US and don’t get to see things like this ever, to be fair. I felt like I was with you all day!! You guys crack me up!! Such fun!!!

I have my fingers crossed every time hoping you fall for one of the traditional coloured cobs, a la Remmington. The internet would just squee every time you jumped it, with feathers flying :)

OOhhh those Belgian Drafts where doing heir rounds on FB before the sale, such a shame to see how well looked after they where before and what state they ended up in :{

Highlight of my day when you upload 😊💖

Great vlog as ever. I'd like more conformation descriptions. What you avoid or look for etc.

OMG I was in this video you can see my red coat and curly hair😂 I brought number 19 the skewbald gelding Murphy c

I absolutey adore the relationship you have with your Mum!! So so cute. And love that she rides too!!!

Loved this vlog, it always makes my day 10x better when I get notified that you've uploaded 💖

Glad so many of these darlings are going to new homes. Hopefully the will get the lovin' they deserve

Love these auction vlogs. And thanx so much for the invaluable confirmation lesson. These r my fave even if you dont buy. Please keep doing these and keep giving confirmation tips 😍🥰

Been binging these videos while in quarantine, such a positive and relaxing channel to watch

You’re a great blogger. Love seeing the catalog and what they all go for. Xxx

I really enjoy seeing the sales . Especially with comments on confirmations. Thanks for the videos. Especially since I can't go myself.

I’m only part way through but this is a great vlog. Utterly heartbreaking to see the state of the draughts, especially when you imagine how a heavy horse should look but it is the sad reality of sales and a harsh winter. Horse ownership is the most expensive it’s ever been and even done on a budget or with your own land it’s extremely expensive. In the last year or so of her life my mare cost nearly £1000 per month with livery, medication and remedial shoeing. Something I couldn’t really afford but something I did because she was my horse and I’d never give up on her in her old age. I was lucky, I was able to keep her into her old age and she lived her days with me but sometimes circumstances and funding mean that isn’t possible. I genuinely hope the heavy horses found a good home and are now being given the care and nutrition they so desperately need. It a genuine shame that they were able to get into this state but hopefully they will all go on to live healthier lives, they seemed so depressed bless them. I for one really appreciate you showing all aspects of sales/horse ownership and hopefully it will serve as educational for many too because the easy bit is the buying, the hard work comes with ownership and producing.

The sales videos are brilliant even if you don’t buy a pony 😄 they’re really informative and helpful especially as I’m considering purchasing a horse via the sales. Thanks for another great video x

Keep the auction vlogs !! Great to see !!

loved seeing the catalogue, please do that in future!

do a series of how you train the young ones.

I like seeing these blogs. So interesting to see the different types of horses/ ponies available there. So different than our auctions in Nova Scotia, Canada.

I should subscribe....I’m too old for horses now (arthritis is BAD!) but I still consider myself a Norse person. I use to go to the Auction here in Oregon, USA. I’m actually at the point been there done that. Our auction is 3 hours by car away. Sadly, lots of horses go to the kill buyers. I love the Percheron. Thanks for sharing your adventure.

Ahhh i was hoping you'd film this month's auction! I was really curious to see what the belgian drafts were like!

These videos are my absolute favourite x🐴Yayy!!

Best vlogs ever!!! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 I love your videos so much Meg ❤️

Love these auctions vlogs!!! Well love all your videos. Defo keep doing these vlogs as it's nice to see what prices the horse and ponies go for. Also what to look out for as well, like the bay that was lame. 🙂🙂

I love these horse buying vlogs, actually make my day when I see another of your videos is up

I want to see a day in the life of Hobbit. She would do great.

Idk why I’m obsessed with you and your life but I’m not gonna question it 😂😂

Find the auction vlogs really interesting! It was good to see them making decent prices

omg lot 19 (25:00) has my whole heart, what a cutie

Keep vlogging I seem to enjoy whatever you do. Thank you - you made my day

As awful the condition of those draughty horses were in...I’m glad they were sold as they clearly weren’t loved where they previously were💘

I liked the Vlog!! And the added cookie shop!! It was fun!! Ps. I know at auction there is a little bit of Everything... the undernourished drafts made my heart break. Going to love on my healthy horse now.

I loved being able to see the catalogue. Good idea!

Love the sales vlogs! Keep them coming. 😊

I love the auction blogs, especially when you buy something. :)

Been waiting for this all day! Since seeing count down on insta

Lot 6 looked very sweet! love your videos!!

Love the sales vids. Very interesting. Let’s keep the cookies on the side. Makes me laugh, but like those as filler. 🤣

Hey, I'm Jaclyn from Canada and just wanted to say that you are awesome and I'm looking to purchase MY first horse after years and years of riding other people's horses and training and helping consult for purchasing other people's horses and I think your channel is so helpful and they make my day to watch. Thanks for making a difference and if you come across a 17h horse on the market let me know lol ;) cause I'm a giant (not really just 5'11 hehe). anyways, you're awesome! keep being great!

I feel like your editing has really improved! 💞

Oh those Belgian Draughts ❤️ two of my friends have owned Ardennes and they are just the most kind tempered lovely horses. One of my friends had one and she was 14.2 but quite honestly the hugest stockiest horse I’ve ever seen. Before my friend had her she bred a couple of foals to a thoroughbred and I believe the offspring were both successful local event horses. So there could be a niche there for you! Those cookies - me and my other half used to buy a pack of the purple triple choc ones every week when we went shopping. We’d have one each at lunchtime Saturday and then Sunday. Little weekend treat. Then one day I looked at the calorie/fat content 😳 jaysus. No wonder they don’t print it on the bag. We’ve not had them since 😂 I miss them!!

Would love more sales vlogs (or cookie vlogs, or anything you want to do tbh) they’re always such an awesome watch !! 🥰👍🏻👌🏻❤️

First! Also I saw this on your Instagram story earlier today and I’m really glad you have posted this so more people can see the realities of many auctions! I love your videos ♥️♥️💕

Great video ❤️ when you found them cookies you where so happy 😂

Please keep filming the auctions along with catalogs, and film the Ireland auction!

Love your videos they always cheer me up

I love watching these videos, it nice to see what it like at a horse auction good and bad. Agree with hobbit, educational video would be great would be nice to know what you are looking for.

You're right. Love the auctions

Love your videos meg! ♥️ u make me giggle lol keep the vids coming :) x

Haha why do I want you to vlog a food shop with your Mum 😂

I am very jealous of the cookie! I haven't been home in the UK for over a year and British baked goods are missed, your breakfast cob (I'm from Nottinghamshire, so I can't call it a roll!) :P well what ever it was... it looked lovely. Home comfort foods. Some lovely ponies there, I so want a little pony. I'm not bothered about riding I would just like to have our to take trekking like a dog basically. I do like these vlogs, and a trip to Ireland is very exciting, how many conny's can you fit in one lorry... I do like them, they seem so special and I love how intelligent they are. (sad soul that I am got to the end of your long vlog, but it helps me feel less homesick) jokes apart I really enjoy your vlogs with you and Hobbit. Update on the kitties please?

I have a rescue draught, he was abandoned in a field for a year (so extremely obese when we got him) but we were told he was ‘rescued’ by the lady that abandoned him. We think she bought him from a place like this! Wish we knew more about his past :/

such a gd vlog... Love the sales vlogs!

loved it well done for showing the reality of horse sales xxx

Loving your Vlogs all the way from Australia 🇦🇺

omg the pinto with the black moustache !!!!! Too cuwte. Loved seeing all the Belgians, some real stunners in that sorry looking bunch. The horse Becky bid on was lovely, wish she'd gotten him! haha those minis looked feral. Soooo glad you didn't buy one X-D Enjoyed the biscuit review, now I want one haha

Please keep doing your auction videos they are great to watch

Love the sales day videos

I LOVE THESE AUCTION VLOGGGSSSS

Love these vlogs! Keep doing them

Keep making the Auctions!

Haven’t watched yet but I know it’s going to be amazing

Loved spotting me and my mum in the vlog😂x

I like the screen recorded cataloug!

Oh my! Never knew there were auctions in Hereford! Have to tell my mum about that!

That elevator music has me cackling, your editing is soaring Meg hahahahha

i loved this vlog so much the tesco part was my favourite 😂😂❤️❤️

I hate animal abuse. When I saw the state of most of the horses I cried. This is awful. When I realised the most of the Belgian Drafts had their docks cut off I was so upset. All of this torcher needs to stop! People aren't really doing much about it.

I really like these horse sales, they are very interesting to me even when you don’t buy one, I thought it was great treat seeing the draft horses. 👍👍❤️🇺🇸

Meg mog, whilst we do love the auctions, it is imperative, that we have weekly biscuit/cookie taste testing. Obviously from worst to best flavour. Tesco's, Sainsbury's etc. Please ask Hobbit if she has retired her pink and blue rugby shirt? Or will it be making a come back in the Spring? How is Jaffa? Keep up the fab vlogs. 🥰😍🐴🐎😍🥰

I'm about to go to my first market to buy my first foal..so this video really gave me a very useful insight . Thank you

I have always considered getting a horse from a sales, only worry is possible "rogue traders" selling through auction houses. Would love a "do and donts" video for auctions PLEEEEEEAAAASSSSEEE

Those cookies from Tesco are the best 😂 loved your video btw ❤️

Music volume was great in this one ☺️ I really like the auction vlogs. Almost as much as the competition ones :)

One time I was walking my Shetland pony down to the wash bay to give her wash (she was a little dirty and when I mean a little I mean a lot) and I thought I was walking my dog 😂

Cant wait !!!,

Coming from a country where this type of sale is not very common, that I am aware of, it was interesting to see. Concerned the same number/person purchased a lot of these ponies/horses reasonably cheaply. Hope they have gone to a good home and are not going to be shoved from one place to another, or worse. Love the videos.

I love the sales vidoes. 💕

Liking and commenting for the overdraft 😄

Amazing video!

I used to go to the Reading horse sales with my father in the 80s. It was so heartbreaking to see so many small ponies being sold cheap to the meat buyers. We stopped going, and have never been to a sale since, and never will again.

Love if at some point you could make a horse confirmation video!

Belgian draughts are one of my all time faves! I’ve never seen one irl tho :( I live in England and we mostly have welsh ponies, thoroughbreds, tinkers, and Clydesdales by me :/

Y'all are so much fun
