The auction is over, and Hip 165, who turned out to be just a weanling of a mule filly -- only 8 months old -- is safe, along with Hip 171, Thoroughbred gelding "Copiously." The 17 hh ex-racehorse, a prime target for match racers, was ours for a measly $275 -- below even meat price..
It was a difficult night for auction rescue, with this being the big Saturday before Christmas. Many people were occupied at holiday parties, or traveling, or just lacking the resources to take on another horse right now. In the end, we had to leave many behind that broke our hearts. The one we still hope to find a "Hail Mary" for is Hip 156, the older Arabian mare. If anyone can provide her a home, please email us at auctionhorsesrescue@gmail.com Unfortunately, absolutely nothing is known about her, other than she is older, about 14 hh, and seems very sweet.
Congratulations to Ruby for her darling new baby, and thank you Sher, Katie, Travis, Natalie, Piper, Brenda, and the Cowtown auction staff for all your help.
