NorCal Equine Rescue - Auction Rescue

One of the hundreds of livestock auctions we've attended. This time we were able to rescue 3 horses from grim futures.

Zoro had stringhalt, watch our "Norcal Equine Rescue Saves Horses" video for the rest of the story.

...you don't put an animal down just because they're old. you put them down if they have a painful, uncurable injury or fatal disease that causes them pain a suffering. not because they're old. nature decides when an old horse goes - not people.

Thank you for what you do, we have been to the sale as well and so far have bought 3 horses. We try to buy them before they get there as it is so heartbreaking not to be able to buy them all. Great video. I personally hate the horse auctions, I find them extremely inhumane. I hope all 3 horses are doing well.

@norcalequinerescue i know i'm totally jumping in the conversation here, but that's one of the worst cases of stringhalt i've ever seen! i rode a QH who had stringhalt but we used magnetic hock boots and he walked almost all of it off so it was barely noticable- he was 100% sound and cleared by the vet. any luck with this poor horse?

Would the riding horses be sold to meat too?

It's amazing what you can find at auctions...

my friend got a stunning, registered morgan stallion for $30, gentled him in a pen behind the house, and sold him the next day for $3,000.

Great job!

oh ok thanks, Ya I have been to a few auctions, but wasent ready to buy a horse yet, adn It will haunt me forever. I saw 2 BEAUTIFUL sound, sweet horses, and I mean they were like a little girls dream horse, very light hony chesnut with a white blaze, very sweet, I mean they let you do anything.... I really wish I was more prepaired to buy then because i would have gotten them. They were young, healthy 3-4 years olds. I am VERY excited and I feel that I am ready to get an auctiong horse. Thanks

I would defiantly say check the hooves for cracks and feel the legs for any sign of heat, which is the big sign of lameness/ swelling. Also the general face and how lively the horse is such as perked ears, nostrils, and such.

I wish you luck!
