Back home at 3 am after a horse auction and two saved.

What a night.

More tomorrow

And that is the sound of hopelessness. . .and terror.

We went to auction and brought two back tonight. Two rest safe, and I will never forget the ones We saw tonight we could not help.

Those in this big trailer you see here, sane, sound and lovely horses we could not save. . .

For them, there is now no hope we can help.

And like I’ve said to you all before, these are things we see that create a sadness we fight to keep from swallowing us up.

A Night at another horse Auction (20 photos)

Photos of those we could save and those we could not.

ALL of the other horses in his pen went to the kill buyers. This 10 year old horse was bought by us for $50. Going to an auction is heartbreaking.

This boy is now safe with HOP – Thank God we were there last night.

So, for many reasons. . .this VERY LUCK 10 year old Appy gelding will be called:

“Jake Fiddy”

Yes, there is a story there.

Main thing to know, he is SAFE and will never see another auction house.

We had just made it to the auction when I filmed this little bit. . we didn’t know for certain he would be one of the two we could save then.

He was ran through without a name or description. On his sale paper, he is listed as “HRSE” – no O.

I wish her first before shot, right before she came to us, didn’t have her winter coat, as she was a skeleton.

One of the top reasons a horse ends up in a mess is because of misbehavior under saddle. Here is what one of the experts has to say about fixing this problem. Although this type of work can be boring, HOP volunteers work hard on desensitizing techniques to help our adoptable horses be good citizens! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfAvpa1g68s

The magnitude of this before and after almost has me sitting over here in my office chair having a good cry.
