I am happy to tell you that all 47 horses were sold to homes. Thank you for publicizing this situation, the extensive publicity brought in many buyers. Please see http://www.irenedeem.com/ArabianRescueTexas.html for heartwarming stories of the rescued horses. Thank you to all the people who opened their hearts to these unfortunate horses.

I think that judge should be the one auctioned. Poor judgement! Soumds like he wants the horses to go to kill buyers. Boo!!!!

My instructor was planning to go to this & I tried to convince my parents for us to go too since we ride at a dressage mainly arabian facility, but we can barely afford to pay for one horse & now we might be getting a second one. I have to work at the barn to pay for my lessons but I would work two jobs if it meant that I could help give one of these sweethearts the second chance they deserve

my family and I are expectiong on attending this auction, He hope to bring home about 5 of these horses. My daughter trains hunter/jumper, and she has been talking about this event for 2 weeks. She said today that these horses are going to be so happy to be in a forever home. I believe that most of these horses will be going to a good home as you can find a horse around here for much less then 250.

I can almost bet these horses will make it to the slaughter buyers. Why not let the rescue centers take them first then have an adoption day? Its a shame that people either don’t care about their animals or are just to stupid to have them in the first place.

So… The kill buyers, or anyone buy the horses from the auction.. But the rescues have to wait until after the auction, then provide references? Something is messed up there… I guess at least he said $250 bids on them. Hopefully they’re all saved.
