[RC] Re:Urgent post/Arabian at Auction - Laurie Baker
Thank you to everyone who called and emailed today with
Margaret’s number. With her help, I bid on Shebailys
Jamal. I did not necessarily bid enough to get him myself, unless he goes
for the higher meat prices. I was trying to make sure that he went as a
riding horse, not for meat. Since I live in Massachusetts,
a long way from Colorado
the purchase and transportation arrangements are a little complicated. I have
still not heard about the sale, so at this time, I do not know whether or not I
own a new horse! The best scenario is that he goes to a fabulous
endurance home in Colorado.
The next best is that I get him and I will have him transported here to Massachusetts. The
worst that will happen, I hope, is that someone will be buying him at a high
price to sell to an unknown home. But I think with the help of Margaret
and her friend Alicia, I bid high enough to keep him a riding horse, which was
my main concern. I already have five horses and I am not a dealer, so
having an extra one is a serious financial burden for me, but I will happily
take him, if he ends up coming my way and he will have an excellent home on my hundred
acre farm, until a better one comes along or forever. (I have never sold
a horse, so forever is a good chance.)
Thank you to everyone who helped. I’ll
let you know the outcome as soon as I know!
