So.. I got new horses...

Today, I decided to go to the Horse Auction in grunthal, and i only swear to god, wanted to go look.
Well.. we ended up bring a gelding ( i bought him with my own money, so he is mine) and my dad got a new little 6 month old filly.

So ill say about my new gelding boy.

i walked to the end of the aisle and saw this BIG skinny white horse, gorgous even though very very skinny, and i knew right away that he was going to be bought by a kill buyer, and i fell in love with him, hes such a gentleman.
So anyways i showed him to my friends for there opinions and my dad, i really did not want him to goto the meat, i knew noone was going to by him, there were people who wouldnt even give him a glance, but i found myself consistantly attracted to his pen.
well when it was time for bidding i sat close to watch the kill buyers and so i can see the horses, he was one of the first horses that came in and like i knew it noone bid on him and the meat buyers got him.
I was crying so much, my friend was trying to talk to me but i couldnt handle it i was walking back and forth to his pen, and my friend helped me find out the kill buyer who had bid on him.
Close to the end, i talked my dad into letting me get him, and i went and talked to the kill buyer and talked to him, they bought him for $70 and i bought him off of them for $90.
so i got to bring him home and he is so great ! he completely respects your space, stands tied, loads onto the trailer, and i wonder if he is broke, my dad says there are saddle pad marks on him so its a possibility, he has shoes on and my farrier took a look at him saw no leg problems, said it looks like his feet where just done.
I wont start trying him till he gains alot more weight, my poor boy.
But i am so happy i got him, my dad think's he is about 14-15 years old, its more than noticable that he is a pretty old horse !

And my dad ended up buying a little 6 month old filly named Sunfire from our farrier's daughter, she is awesome!!

So onto photos :)

( im just so happy, he is HUGE and super tall, i dont know what breed he is, my farrier thinks he is a very large quarter horse, but im happy because he isnt going to be used for human consumption in europe (thats were he was going to end up going.. ) and he is the first horse i bought with my own money !

END

It's great that you were able to buy him! I think that with some more fat and muscling he's going to be quite the looker :).

^ Thank you :) Anrz, i totally agree, i think he might be a QH X TB ?
i still need a name for him though, maybe Indigo ?

He is so cute and will be quite the looker when he gets some weight on him. I think Indigo suits him well! :)

^ Thank you ! :)
i cant believe some of the horses that were there, they were so gorgous.

I like him! His face looks like he has a lot of character.

He is beautiful! Well done :)

Congrats! I think you have yourself a diamond in the rough!!

I have to say though, I nearly had a heart attack when I saw how he's tied... he could easily put a leg over the rope or spook and pull back - when they're tied that low, they can break their necks. I don't want your absolutely darling new horse to get hurt!

Good luck! I'd love to see updates in a few weeks with some weight on.

i know, my farrier tied him up again, i had him tied up higher, but he wanted his lead rope back, and i asked him dont you think that he has abit too much rope ? and he said... oh noo nooo and so i just was like well ... alright than.
im hoping he will gain lot more wieght :) just going to take some time.
