The New Holland Story: A horse's worth

These photographs are taken at the New Holland Horse Auction in Pennsylvania. Each week hundreds of helpless and healthy horses are brought to auction and bought to slaughter for meat. These horses sell for as little as $10.00 per head.

In honor of Martin Luther King Day, we saved 5 horses from slaughter. For updates on these horses check out www.projectsagehorserescue.org

Good informative video I use to go to New Holland every week. I got my Mustang there. I was friends with the Sunny Field Stables who would save hundreds of horses used for hack and some were sold to fur ever homes. My Wildfire was the best horse for children anyone could ask for. I am against this auction I don't live far from New Holland and I pray someday it will end. Thank you for your wonderful rescue .

This saddens me dearly. It is not right and it needs to stop. All for people to make some money, --- They have no self remorse at all for these Beautiful Horses.

@Grandmachilly I am sure you mean well. Reading your comment it is clear to me, and anyone else who knows the truth about horse slaughter, you're eyes and mind are closed to the truth. At best your comment is hypocritical, at worse...the mark of ignorance. Educate yourself about the topic before you comment. By your own words, I seriously doubt you wish the best for them.

I care about horses and wish the best for them, but they need to be auctioned off. Also, many of the lighter breeds are bought by the Amish and used as buggy horses. The heavier breeds were used by the Amish as work horses and eventually become old and weak and unable to work anymore, so they need to be put at the auction. I'd rather see them be slaughtered then starving to death!

I swear i'm gonna go up there one day and rescue as many as I can. Try and open up a non-profit rescue orginization, and turn a few of those rescued horses into trail and lesson horses.

Not to mention the whole horse economy has been destroyed and now horses are being abandoned and neglected more often. I wish people would just use their heads. Stop breeding unless your going to breed a top of the line sport or work horse, and have the experience time and money to raise it properly, and ensure it a good life and home till its last days! Or be smart and rescue or adopt a horse instead of just running around breeding. This video made my heart ache.

This crushes me. I would never send a horse to an auction house if I could help it. I wish people would stop over breeding horses for no reason, or just because they THINK they can get rich or want a cute foal just like their mare. And I don't like the thought of ANY horse slaughter at all, but when we abolished slaughter in the U.S. we made it way worse for horses because now they are still shipped to Mexico where the methods are different and WAY more brutal and inhumane than the U.S. methods.

I have been here plenty of times and I wish that I would carry a camera with me. The stuff that I have seen. It is very sad.

dose anyone know of an auction lot like this one in texas or new mexico? A big dream of mine is to save some horses from a place like this but im to far from the New Holland or the Camelot auctions, which are as i can see the more popular ones for horse rescuers like me!
