were all the great deals we got on equipment, we came home with a nice heavy duty forecart that just
needs the seat re-upholstered, which Jarrett will do in leather, a pole, 2 double trees (one wood & one steel), a single tree, a jockey stick, 2 neck yokes (both steel),
a steel 3 horse evener with all single trees, & something else that we haven't quite identified yet (and I'm sure I'm forgetting something)!
But.then... the absolute highlight of the trip were the 3 Belgian fillies that we brought home too!!
Hannah will be 2 on May 31, she is an absloute sweetheart, very mellow and easy going. She has been well started and has even been hitched to a forecart with another horse. She is so mellow that when we were talking to the folks that sold her, she was laying down, we completly surrounded her on all four sides in very close quarters and she just laid there letting me scratch her for about 5 minutes, only getting up when we went to pay attention to one of the other horses. She is currently 15.3 hands and weight tapes at 1050 lbs.
Holly is 2 years and 2 months old. She was a rescue to the previous owners, so still needs some work but is very intelligent and learns really fast. She isn't much behind the other two on ground work and should be great girl!
She is currently 15.2 hands and 1070 lbs.
Mayah will be 1 year old on May 15, she is a gorgeous filly that is going to be a big girl!! At less than a year old she is almost as big as the 2 year olds. Her sire was 18 hands and her dam was 17.2 hands. She has ben well started, and has been ground driven a lot. Mayah is currently 15 hands and 770 lbs.
Holly & Hannah mooching more attention, they are all absolute sweetheats and love scratches!!
Holly sneaking more scratches while the others aren't paying attention...
Holly being pretty...
The girls cheking out their new pasture... & running from the little horses...
...And still running from those scary ay-rabs!! Even though they are half the girls' size!
Before they decided the little horses we going to eat them...
Ok, back at Sisters.... This stage coach sold on Saturday for $36,000
The view from our swap meet booth, the really nice vehicles are in this tent until they are sold.
A horse drawn hearse; there were 2 wheeled and one on sleigh runners. Only one sold, but it went for $14,000. This one was right across from our booth.
A team of percherons on a forecart, numerous horses were hitched throughout the event for preview before the horse sale on Sunday.
Looking from the auction tent back over the grounds at the acres of vehicles and farm equipment... It is a large event!!
