I feel like there are people out there who would be more than happy to just give you an old horse they knew would be well cared for.

I'm really impressed with the depth of your knowledge and the clearheaded way you approach these auctions. Loved this one

The horses and mules looked fairly healthy at this sale. Some lameness issues, but all looked well fed. I hope they all went to kind homes. ❤

Ugggh I choked up on the lame sorrel with the socks and fat knee😢

I like it when you take us to the auction!

Thank you for taking us along love auction videos

Cannot put into words how much Nigel has changed my life. I watch so many horse care videos, but have never run across such an inspirational little pony.

Gotta love those enabling friends ❤ I’m sure the auctions will bring a friend for Skeletor

Man! That stand of trees with the water is heaven!

I adore mules. They are rock solid in just about any condition. My step dad had several. He was a packer/guide in the Bob Marshal in the 80s. When I lived in AZ I was lucky to have one as my regular ride. Even in monsoon downpours in the mtns he never missed a step. My friend here in Libby has one he raised from a colt that I love. Scooter is a mischievous turd, but also bomb proof. LOL A good mule is priceless IMO.

Hello Clever Cowgirl, looking forward to watch another episode,❤❤ ❤

I love the auctions bc you talk about the horses and explain why or why not you will be buying them. That is really helpful. I also like that you go for the horse that no one else wants. I think Huckleberry is hilarious.

I admire your ability and determination in attending horse auctions. I would have a rough time choosing a horse as my heart would be so torn. You will find the perfect horse companion for Skeletor.

I wish I could tag along , watch and learn . We don't have auctions like this in the Netherlands . You will find a mate for Skeletor in time .

I admire your ability to juggle suitability, emotions, and cost. I don't think most people understand how truly difficult that can be especially when you have to do it at lightening speed! My emotions would have me bringing home every animal with a human inflicted injury. LOL You are a treasure and I love your videos! I can't wait to see what perfect companion you find for Skelly. Hugs

Good morning, C.C.! Best of luck finding a good buddy for Skeletor. Thank you for taking us along for the ride.

CC, you are so classy. Very kind to step back and let the private buyers get the horse!

Whenever I see a horse auction it pulls at my heart strings... but I suppose that's how it works... Thank you for the video and your caring!

My heart goes out to that gorgeous chestnut fellow with the bold white markings. 🥺❤️

Beautiful horses! You know, there's one out there that needs you more, and you'll find him/her. ❤

“Enabling friends” I love that

I’m so impressed on your thoughts on this auction,appreciate it ♥️

Yes.....auctions are pretty interesting!

And so it begins. I know you’ll pick a good one and Skele will be happy. ❤ ❤

I’ve never been to a horse auction but I know my heart would not do well…just like when I go to a dog/cat shelter. The animals have so much anxiety, fear, they’re unsure, etc. I feel it and it affects me deeply. All my pets have been rescues. Thank you for being you.

It's interesting how you talk us through each horse you're looking at and letting us know what you are seeing. What would make that horse a good companion for Skeletor or behavior or health issues that you would pass on. I don't know anything about horses so it very educational. The perfect companion is out there somewhere. Thank you for taking us along on the journey!! 🥰

That was fun but sad at the same time, wishing you could have met up with the fox trotter owner. Thanks for taking us along CC...

Oh I was hoping you would find one but the perfect companion awaits you and Skeletor at another auction!

It must be really hard to pass on a horse that tugs at your heart.

❤ The first Auction. It is great when horses go to good homes, sad when some have health issues due to neglect. Looking forward to the next auction and you finding the right companion for Skeletor ❤

Yeah!! Road trip! 😊

Sad to see some of the injuries these horses carry, hope they all found good homes.

Thank you for not bidding up the rescue. They do good work

You are a good judge of these horses and it is a learning experience for me when you explain the reasons of the whys and why nots. Thank you again for letting us ride along. 😊

Thanks for posting 😊 All your videos are fascinating to watch - i dont think the average horse owner here in the UK has your range and depth of knowledge 🐴❤️

I didn't realise mules were so big! I've never seen one IRL X

On the one hand, I'm disappointed you didn't find a horse today. On the other, I'm really looking forward to more auction videos! Really interesting to hear your thoughts on each of these horses, from their health and temperament to how they could integrate into your herd.

Would love to have you take us along on more of your auctions! Love your videos ❤️

Auctions are so interesting- especially the way you describe them!!

Thanks for taking us along!

Guess it’s a spin of the wheel at these auctions like you said maybe next time

Could you just do 24/7 videos ???😊 Can't get enough !!! ❤

Thank you for taking us along to the auction, your dialogue accompanied was well done and very informative of how you decide on a horse or mule purchase. Combined with the video this was another excellent presentation. 👍

It's always exciting at the auctions.

Love these auction videos!

Loved the young grulla mare.

Auction time! I’m starting to feel like spring is really here! Thanks for taking us along. Fingers crossed!

You are THE CLEVER COWGIRL!! You Shouldn't Have NO PROBLEM Finding A Companion For Skeletor!! My Uncle And I Had A Similar Experience At A Horse Auction!! We FINALLY Found A Suitable Horse For His Stallion, Moonlight!! So It Can Be Done!! I Hope You Find A Really Good Match For Skeletor!!❤😊!!

Wow, that was so entertaining. I sat and watched and gobbled, blush, my dinner as I was so fully absorbed in your time at the auction and your remarks. I love how much I am learning just watching your videos. I also love the care you give all of your animal companions....it lifts my heart. Namaste'

So interesting. The thought process you use is inspiring. It has to be hard to not be able to take them all home. We learn so much from you CC!

Mule ❤❤❤❤❤

I learn so much from just listening to you at an auction. I am amazed every time at how much experience you have and are willing to share. That is good for the horses and those of us who think one day, maybe... Thank you!

One may wonder, whether most really nice older horses in many cases just end up being retired by their owners as pets and stay the corse at home, instead of making it to an auction. A personal horse is easy to emotionally attach to.

Thank you for telling us that there is a rescue there because as you keep informing us of all the horses that are in need of your care but knowing you financially you can’t take them all, understandably my heart was breaking💔❤️‍🩹❤️

Auctions are so heartwrending. . . Being a knowledgable vet trained equestrian, it must be very hard for you. Like all animals, life can be very unpredictable and unfair, through no fault of their own. But, the fact that you are searching for an older sensible horse/ mule is wonderful. I imagine alot of the older ones just get passed over due to thier age. In a perfect world, all domesticated animals would be able to live out thier lives in peace, contentment, love and good care till the end of their days. I know I am naive and simple, but all things are possible with the Lord God. I really hope you find that needy perfect fit for Skelly. Bless you girl!

What a fascinating world you live in!

I was really hoping you'd get that older Mule. I've never been around a mule, but am a little obsessed with them lately, so I'd love to hear your comments and watch you work with one. I had been thinking that maybe you could pony Skele with your 4x4, but using a quiet, older animal makes much more sense, as it would also be his calming companion during the other 20 hours in the day. I always learn something new from you. For example, I thought it was for your horses' sakes that you isolate new animals, but when you point out that the new animal's stress level from change/travel/auction does a number on their immune system, this made perfect sense. Looking forward to more auctions in search of Skele's calm, healing partner :) Thank you for taking us along, CC.

I can’t wait for the next auction

Dang, another cliffhanger! lol ~ Still, I love the auction videos.

Love the shady quarantine nook for any new find. ❤ 10:20 awww, that's a sad looking knee on the white faced horse. Hope he found a good home.

Love your truth ❤ thank for sharing your knowledge ❤

The way you look at and evaluate the horses before the auction and in the bidding is very interesting to me and also to find out what they sell for

I’m always happy to see a new video from you. Thanks! 💜💜💜

I’m so happy to open you tube and see the queen posted a video!! ❤

17:45 CC, what color is this 2yo mare please? I've seen many beautiful horses on YT but THIS girl made my eyes pop, my body sat up military strong and my heart...oh my heart sang for her❣️ I'm not an equestrian so don't know majority of colors and I've Never, online or in the world, seen a horse color like hers. I would name her, Walking in Moonlight, Moon for short, because she reminds me of one of my most treasured loving memories of a moonlit night in Sausalito CA with my late fiancé. So I'm hopeful to know the color, thank you Dear. And to be sure I'll join you on every auction as I do each day you post. Your quarantine area is an absolute dream and the FIRST time I saw trees on the property plus my first knowing there is a stream I'll name, Huckleberry's No-Stink-Stream Thank you Dear for sharing your amazing loving caring life with horses with us. Also, the way you conduct yourself at the auctions, being aware of others and stepping back to let a family bring a good horse home or not bidding against a rescue for a horse in great need, all this speaks to your beautiful character.

I loves the auction videos :) it can be sad and it doesn't always go to plan but it is nice to see that side of having horses

Thanks for taking us to the first auction of the year. Wow, I would have a very hard time because I would want to bring all the "broken & bruised" ones home, You have experience doing this, know what you want, set your price & stick to your guns! Comes from having run the course a few times with "hard re-habs". I totally admire you!!!😊❤. God bless....

Enjoyed going to this sale with you.

Yeah! Always so fun going to these auctions with you :)

That was very fun to see. It is also difficult because you want every horse to have a nice home. ❣️🍀

Great video... I'm appreciate your entire approach and process whenever you attend auctions/sales! Thanks for sharing!

I hope you get your fox trotter.

Love the auction videos and I think Nigel needs a friend too!

Thanks for the video! ❤ I'm so excited to see everything you'll be up to over the summer 😊

Always fun listening to your evaluations on these auction horses. The fox trotter would have been nice. You’re smart to know when to not bid. Better luck next time, I’ll be watching! 😃

Thanks CC

Thank you so much for this video. I love the horses and love watching your videos. and I really really love the auctions. Thank you.

Love the auction videos! Thank you

I wanted you to get that old sorrel roan mule! I've just recently fallen in love with mules and I would have loved to see you work with him.

I kinda wish you would add a Glossary of Terms to your Info box. 😁 As you're talking, I'm trying to hurriedly Google things. (I hate pausing videos) Half draft; Stifle? Your videos allow me to exercise my brain, which is never a bad thing. That is not a complaint....just noticing how much info you pack into your videos. I love Palominos.

When going to an auction have a plan and stick to it. Congratulations on sticking to your plan I know how tempting it is to start biding on a horse you haven’t evaluated . I know how much work 12 horses are so don’t buy on a whim keep focusing on why you are at the auction .

I am hopeful you can find a good horse at the auction 😁

I love the auction videos.

I was hoping you would find a buddy for skeletor! You will find one eventually! So sad to go to auctions for the horses 🐎 😢 i hope they all find good homes, you are one smart and clever cowgirl! Love all your videos, makes me miss my horse when i was younger. 😢 ❤ waiting for your next adventurous and informative video! Blessings! ❤

Nice.

Absolutely love your auctions videos!! Thanks 😍

Please explain more about what you're doing! I love horses but know very, litte about care & keeping! TY 4 sharing! Blessings 😊

I love these videos because someday I may want to go to an auction and this is so helpful

Thankyou , .

This was so awesome to watch! Thank you for sharing with us all! Great quality video and so interesting! Thank you so much again!! ❤

That was an interesting, and cool trip to the auction for me. I like how you sum everything up rather quickly and to the point. It's clear that you have a wide experience with horses and mules because you are very knowledgeable in so many categories, and point out signs for health, injuries, and even some tale telling scars. It is fascinating how you can ascertain lifestyles and history from just observing their gait, posture, and other characteristics that I am clueless about. That is partly why I say cool in the first sentence. I'm sure that you will find a good companion for Skeletor, and patience usually leads to satisfaction. Thanks again for a fun and even somewhat exciting, and very enjoyable experience. Stay well, sharp, and safe.

I wish i had a lot of money 😢 i would buy them all

I love hearing and watching you talk about the auctions and your critical thought process on each horse. Also love watching your videos on your own horses and your interpretation of their horse language. Very helpful!

I'm glad you put Skele out, I've never been a fan of "stall rest". I understand the concept, but horses need to be able to move.

Your knowledge about horses, in general, is impressive. Each horse that came through, that talked about, you were really on point with them. You go girl. Take care, God bless.

How interesting! Love your videos!

I still believe the angels guide you.

I enjoy your evaluation process and your self-control at auctions like these. I would find it hard to leave without at least one BUT, this is why you are the Clever Cowgirl and I am the one watching your videos! 🐴❤

Thank you👍🏾

cool stuff, really informative.
