Buying A Horse At Auction ~ What To Look For And Expect ~ Did My Bid Win?!?

Tomorrow YouTube um this is Saturday we have been camped in Ava at the world championship all week and in coordination with the show the Missouri Trail Horse Association is having a closed trail

horse

sale today we are at the path. I'm going to go over today and show you

what

I do at an

auction

, the do's and don'ts, um,

what

to

look

for, how to check a

horse

. The main thing is to always listen to his wife at an

auction

and, um. Also importantly, this is something I firmly believe in not being a snob on color, however color sells best if you are trying to make a profit training a horse, so if you are going to spend half a year or a year training. a horse and in the end your final product will bring double if it is a little flashy, you have to keep that in mind because you are already taking a risk at auction when you are breeding high performance horses. or to get a quality animal, I always say take into account the disposition and how they travel and their pedigree, not their color, don't breed for color because if you're breeding for a trait like that, you're giving up something on your back.

In the end, in my opinion, some horses have it all, which is also great, it's just a plus, but let's sign up and get our catalog and we'll start talking about foreign horses. I got to the first pin here and let's see this beautiful linen horse and done. One tail is curled and braided, so you can see that it's all trimmed, so you can see that someone has messed with her quite a bit, she's shod and her feet aren't, they're well shot, like she knows the angles and, uh, she is level, so this Mayor is probably broke to ride and she's number 43, so I'll

look

for her now.

I'm not really very interested in horses that are already ruined to ride because, if they are at a sale and they are ruined to ride, I always worry that there might be something wrong with them, plus I have the skill and a method that I like to use on my own to break in a horse or train a horse, start a horse, whatever vernacular you want to use pretty quickly so you can start from scratch. ride in two weeks and I will know that the horse is of sound mind and hasn't been abused or anything, although this horse is beautiful, unless it is very cheap I probably won't bid on it because I think it is already well trained from the road .

I was pretty excited about the color of this, like we're talking about flashy colors and stuff, but honestly, make sure the owner isn't around when you say this, he's pretty goofy, his head is bigger than his butt than you think. should be. For his body size, he's got a bit of a cow on his back, he's got a really big scar on his ankle, which could mean he's a little accident prone, and he's short to get shot at. They shot him correctly. Someone has done a good job. work shooting him oh, he's tied up, tied up, I didn't even realize it's funny, the other one that's there with the penalty is quite handsome, but he has a big cut on his knee, of course, it looks like a a cut from a month, so it might heal better than it is there um and then this gray one in the background actually has very good hips very good chest his front legs are very straight and for a year old his chest is quite wide his head looks good Like this In this pin I like gray more.

This other pain has very good hips, but his hips are built more like a quarter horse. I'm almost thinking it's a quarter horse. I bet it's cool and has some quarter horse to it. the way it's built, which isn't a bad thing, it's nice, but today I'm only going to bid on registered horses, they don't have numbers yet so we can't tell you exactly what they are, so this is what you see. like a yearling here he is not shot but he has very good hooves he has some kind of warts or fungus all over his nose which makes me wonder but he is beautiful and has long legs really nice hips good confirmation um if he is a registered horse I will be interested in this um it's younger than I wanted I wanted something I could ride right away you know, three years old or something like that or three years old, but for the right price um I won't I won't let this one come out too cheap let me see what is.

I'm thinking it's a Philly thought, but I can't see where it is right now. Hey baby, turn around. I like how he's reacting to my notepad, it's not what I want, I want him to turn around so I can see, but he's just curious, that's cute. I'll keep an eye out for that number 46, here's a little Buckskin Philly, we actually saw her and her mom. cell phone at this sale last year and the owners came back, kept the mom and are selling her outright now, so she's a little over a year old. I wanted something older that I could work with now, but when you find one that's been altered, manipulated and built like this, you can't let them be too cheap, so I'll promote it to people a few times anyway, when She passes by her mother, she has just ironed her gray iron. great gift yes black leg black mine black tail yes it's a good cult it's nice it's well built on YouTube so I looked for some horses I like unfortunately the owner has branded them with a branding iron which can be very good for pedigree horses that exercise. at the Range or for your own personal horse, um, however, if you're going to try to make something that you know you can resell to the public as a family pet, you know, my goal is a permanent horse for someone, don't brand your horses and you know no one is going to buy a horse because it's not branded, but there are a lot of people that won't buy a horse because it's branded, just hit them over the head with the spare, this gray one is built very well, very well. nice horse but he has the same mark with that pain in his back really nice horse two two white socks Blaze I would really be interested in that one but he also has the mark and then the other thing all his birth dates look very young and um maybe they just look after They care for their horses better than me, maybe they feed them better.

They're as big as my two-year-olds for the next two years and they all just turned one, so unfortunately about four or five of the best horses. Here, what I've seen so far in the age group I'm looking for is flagged and I'm getting a little fishy on the birthday, so we're going to have to pass on everything we've seen so far. I was just walking around looking and that horse caught my eye. I said I didn't want anything old enough to be broke, but she's really pretty, so I looked her up. She's a 16-year-old Palomino Sabino, which means she's his basically and, uh, no.

I know she is just beautiful, she also has good role, but she is a little older than I want and I'm not looking for anything broken. This is not the age she was looking for, but she is very well raised and she is so beautiful. I have to do it. I have to check her out in case she accidentally gets too cheap in the selling ring, I have to be a little taller than she is taller than she looked from a distance, which is good, like I said before shot well, whoever shot or knew what they were doing.

I'm sure I just got it, uh, oh, I forgot the name, but the stuff to make the texture grip the asphalt, so we're not talking about a 50-shot job, we're talking about a hundred and fifty dollars, she He has some scars. the inside of his legs calm behavior hello is that your no, no, it's not ours getting ready to be yes, no, I said, I said, getting ready to be so all these specks and those things that he has under his neck and these lights, the clear hip flanks and the Ronin this is what I would call Sabino, she has many of the Sabino markings, she has blacks, mane and tail, she is out of Legend, I have had several horses in a legend, some of them had some attitude problems, but others have been quite friendly.

Also, this one seems pretty sweet, there she is, this is the one we've been looking for 16. No, she's not out yet. Hey, baby, we gotta see you. Oh I like it. Yes, he loves to stick his head through a ball bar. That's why her mane looks like this if I walk up there, yeah, oh, she doesn't mind if we film this, right? First let me know that we just found one of the horses we're interested in and The good thing is that This is a family of mine, some kind of mine, so my grandfather, who taught me everything about foxtrotters, and in his father is, uh, man, it's my grandfather's uncle, it's his father and they had the same age, they grew up together, like they were cousins, uh, playing together and They looked a lot alike, everyone mistook them for siblings for years, so this is Susie Duncan and I've known her my whole life, I only see her once or twice every two years, but this is a two-year-old Philadelphia that is selling. and it's one of the two that I was most interested in seeing so we've been looking for it all day or all morning well, I'm going to go in there and see it what's its name miracle miracle oh, you're very strong hello hello, yes, you're fine, you're fine, they haven't handled her much, but she has pretty short hair, she's been rubbing it with the barbed wire, but I don't see anything wrong with her, we'll see how it goes well so it's time to sell we've walked around 10 times looking for everything there is no organization for these sales so number one could be there number two could be there you can't find everything you need find you haven't found the black We're still two years old and we wanted to see it so we'll have to improvise on the offer. um, but we'll get into the offer.

We will follow the catalog reading the descriptions as they arrive. and maybe walk back to see the ones on the deck and we'll film a little bit of that when we have a horse approaching and try to let them see the ones we were interested in selling. like that little Sabino over there and the four year old boy and then some of these young men we wanted to bid on on the way to the sale barn, the owner of the two year old black girl heard us talking about her and went to look at her, he wrote to her all over the place and she acted decent enough, but she didn't show much walking and he was really trying to sell her pretty hard, saying he didn't have enough time for young horses or two. -years old and I wanted a little older tires tonight so we're on lot 16 now two year old Palomino Philly which I'm pretty interested in, we'll see what happens by June 22, 2020. talk about Mouse, you better start with something they can't start putting together right now 14 15 times let me explain some of my thought process and the strategy that I was implementing here the auctioneer was asking me for a bid of eighteen hundred dollars.

He had already made up his mind. until only getting to around 2200 as my max bid on this Philly, well I knew if I bid 18 the next bidder would bid 19 and then the red B at 2000 anyway, as a show of strength and to try to make them go back to show them. Seriously, I simply held up two fingers and raised the bid above what the auctioneer was asking. You can do it at any time. The auctioneers get excited. They really like it. Then that would also mean it would go back to the next bidder. 2100, which would then put me in the lead at 2200.

I had already planned that if they bit when they bid 21, I would go right over their bid at bid 22 to try to back out if my first plan of attack didn't work. It didn't work, I had a backup plan, let's see if it works and if they get to 22, we'll just have to back off and let her go. Oh, thank you. Okay, I went back and forth quite a bit and we got it. to 16, so I turned it up to 2000 just to try to stifle people and it worked, so we got it for two grand. Well, we came here and saw a miracle.

That's the name of the two-year-old girl. The amazing part is you. I know we are two hours from home, they are from our same hometown. Like I said before, I'm Susie's family, we're related, and I've known Ralph for years, so he's going to take her home for I saved myself a whole four-hour round trip to get back together, so it all worked out. for a reason. Well, we got a horse, we got the two-year-old Philly and then the sale was going a little slow and we got a lot. So much to prepare for tonight's show that we didn't stay to bid on that year's Buckskin I wanted to bid on. um something unfortunate.

I bet she's cheap. Maybe I'll run back here after I eat lunch and feed the kids. and just look what it sells for because we are only three miles from the fairgrounds but we have so much to do today that I feel rushed to get back to the fairgrounds, long after lunch, the girls did all the tasks well. in hand at the fairgrounds, so Emery and I ran back to the sale, we were just in time to see this Buckskin sell, the auction slowed down to twelve hundred dollars and I bid once, but then it quickly went up to over 2,800 and I never bit again, but I was happy for the owners, they got a good price.

Next up was Sabino and since she was out of Legend, her bidding was pretty fast. I came in when she was still at about a thousand dollars and bit her down to 2500. but she ended up making over forty five hundred dollars. A little two-year-old black girl alsoIt sold quite well. He wasn't very interested in her. I just didn't feel that connection. Sometimes you have to go with your instincts, but she brought I think thirty eight hundred dollars, one of the reasons was that the man was actually trying to sell her to me before the sale saying he didn't have time for young horses, but then he walked in there and Bought a couple more yearlings anyway. we were happy to finish Miracle here.

I'm pretty sure she was the highest quality horse there, she is very elegant looking, she is very well built and has a good mind. I have been working with her a lot since the sale. To watch those videos, be sure to subscribe to our channel to receive notifications. Thank you.
