Sorry about the tears. They usually do end up saying thanks or paying you back in some way and even if they dont it's still nice to do the right thing. I also try to keep my wife and daughter away from the auction as we would be overrun! Unfortunately, you cant save them all!
last time and only time i went to auction was when i saw Montana.. a beautiful old missouri fox trotter they hauled in from OK.. she was like riding a caddy... had so many health issues.. costs us thousands.. and see was worth every penny... she passed away after surgery at cornell .. from sand in her intestines.. must have been there all along and killed some of the intestine over time.. until colic attack that required surgery... but not successful.. after that i have not been able to go to the auctions.. because all of them break your heart.. i quit breeding and showing because i could not sell my babies.. wrong venture for me.. too many people mistreat animals.. i am thankful for people like you .

I am not sure why most of the farms around here breed anymore anyway. The market stinks and there are too many backyard breeders! Just because you own a mare does not mean you should breed her. It drives me nuts to see all of the papered yearlings at the sale selling for ten and twenty dollars. Anyway enough about that! Here is a current pic or two of Pumpkin and Raider running around in the ring.
