Hip 243 and 244 from Turlock's Cowtown Auction, after spending a week at our ranch, left for their new adoptive home in Temecula today! The two old reining-bred mares ended up at auction, emaciated amd exhausted. Rather than sell to slaughter, prior adopters Summer and Joe made their rescue a possibility, by opening their doors to these sweet old-timers!
Wright Ranch is working with us to locate the two mare's papers and identities, as they were equally upset to hear about their near tragic end. It has been confirmed Hip 243, the little black mare, was a competition reining horse, and Hip 244 is a 25-year-old Doc Bar mare from Texas. Sadly, it becomes increasingly clear to us old broodmares are more often violently disposed of than not... Each time someone opens their arms to hard-luck old timers like this, their rewards are innumerable... And making these happy endings possible will always be a passion of ours.
