[RC] 80 Rental String Horses going to Madras Auction - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Joan Fleming joanflem@xxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== Passing on this BCH email notification about available rental string horses: Rental contract ran out with Sunriver and she's decided not to apply for next year. So Sunriver currently has no rental operation, that much is true. They put the operating rights up for bid every year. Any takers? The Madras auction grounds are just south of the town of Madras off Highway 97. The auction is October 23rd at the auction yard. The sale starts at 7PM. Central Oregon Livestock Address: 3457 SW Highway 97, Madras, OR 97741 Phone: (541) 475-3851 At last count there were about 80 head including some little ponies, a mini donkey, and probably two pairs of drafts (belgian and percheron). All of these horses have been there, done that, and are ready for more. Most are around 15-20 but there are some youngins. These horses have been around bicycles, barking dogs, and screaming kids. There's not much that will faze them. A lot have been used as lesson horses, and nearly all have been ridden by kids. A few of these horses actually have excellent finishes on them, hidden under the dude string dust. One of my favorites is a darling paint kids horse, who can spin on his front and hind like it's nothing. Off the top of my head I can think of two perfect gaming horses for the pee-wee rodeo set. A few came off ranches, in fact there is one with the King Ranch brand on him. A few have definate potential for cattle work, one handsome 17 hand fellow with excellent self carriage is just begging to be ridden huntseat. I know winter is coming, and feeding 1200lb beasts isn't cheap. I also know this is going to make it hard to keep these horses out of the wrong hands. These horses have given their all for years. I have placed my faith in them to get the job done and they have always come through for me without complaining once. These horses have created memories for people for years, they come back every year requesting their favorite horses. Some horses gave people their very first rides, or the courage to ride faster than a trot. Now all they're asking is for loving homes to spend their days after all that hard work. Please, spread the word to anyone who might be interested! Nothing would make me happier. And please, if you have any questions, or perhaps something special in mind, please feel free to email me. I know that herd inside and out. =) Hillary Carter princess_smurfalicious@xxxxxxxxx =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
