Annual Horse/Tack Auction

This past May 10, Mother's day weekend, held the annual horse auction held at the sales barn in New Liskeard. Not only is it a place to sell or buy a horse, and or buy tack, used or new, it's a great social gathering for horse folks in the area! It's great running into all my equine friends under one roof!

The auction always has at least 100 horses to bid on, from mini-ponies to great big work horses with big hearts waiting to please. Checking out all the horses can also work up an appetite. The auction cooks fresh burgers, hot dogs and sausage on a bun outside. This also, right next to the building which hosts TONS of new horse tack. You can either buy what you need brand new or wait and place a bid in the auction room.

This event just seems to get bigger and bigger each year. There was traffic parked for miles and equine shoppers all over.

These auctions do have their downside, some of those horses are very unloved and it's not easy to keep a blind eye to them :( On the positive side, there are some great horses up for grabs too, show horses, trail horses, even papered horses!

Unfortunately, I don't attend to purchase a horse. I wish, but one horse is all I can handle for now. Perhaps one day if I ever get my own barn, I'll be loading a trailer with auction horses.

Until then, ride with the wind @
