In the last 5 weeks I have turned down the offer of 7 free horses. Registered AQHA yearlings are selling for $35-$100 through the sale ring while broke riding horses bring $100-$300. A local rancher was planning to have a dispersal sale next Saturday, but cancelled it-they are hoping that things will turn around. Hay and grain have hit new highs, the economy is slowing and winter is coming on, what do you think that people will do. Gee do I pay my mortgage and utilities or do I feed a 1,000# animal that I can't even give away? I hope that you are willing to put your money where your mouth is and donate to those resues.
