Amber and I attended Elkhart Horse Auctions in Texas last night.
It was a heart wrenching experience, but we showed up for the horses when we had to!
We changed the lives of 6 beautiful souls last night, one of which was a proxy bid for a friend of the rescue - thanks for that Lauren! Thanks for giving that beautiful Clydesdale baby a forever home!
The two that really tore at our hearts were the two greys💔 And even though they are not draft horses, we decided they needed us the most so we purchased them to give them the best rest of their lives! LAUREN stepped up and offered to cover their fees and we are so grateful for that, thank you Lauren🙏🏻
The two year old Belgian is said to have “an extra bone” growing out of his front right leg so that will need to be explored.
The 6 months old Percheron baby is a stud and will eventually be gelded, but he presented with a swollen hock so that will need some medical attention.
And the 11 year old stallion, well, yes he is beautiful, but “cheap” as he was selling, we decided we would take him out of the auction and breeding pipeline, and we did🥜✂️
That all being said Team 1 Horse, we need to raise 9975🐴 to cover auction fees, transport to qt, 30 days qt, initial vetting, a castration, and farrier. I know it’s a lot to ask but if we all come together, I know we can do it!
Our goal at 1H@AT is to rescue-rehab-rehome. So if you think you might be interested in any of these beautiful souls, please contact us!
Please help if you can and thank you to those who already pledged donations via check last night🐴❤️🙏🏻
