I went to a local livestock auction (one of those really sad depressing ones) with some friends. They go to them regularly to scout for deals, and I've been a couple times but nothing has floored me. And I certainly don't need anymore horses.. I just sold one! :lol:

Alas, we're walking down the line and we see this pony. So cute, very sweet. Sticks his head through the bars to say hi. Apparently he saw me coming and went "there's a sucker!". Long story short, I bought him for $320 and he came home with me. He's 5yo, broke to ride but does not like men at all and acts like someone was really mean to him at some point. I'm basically going to start him all over again and let him know that life is better now.

He doesn't have a name yet, but here he is. I think he's 13.2 or 13.3h. We're going to stick him tomorrow (when we clip off his feathers and pull his mane!) :P

Oh, he is really really cute. What a lucky fellow.

Does that halter say "my Pony?" Too funny if it does. :P

No, even worse. It says "I love my pony". :lol: It was the only one in the barn that would fit him.

Thanks. :P I hope he's fixable. He seems worth the effort to try, and his temperament is still very sweet, so I don't think too much damage has been done.

We decided to call him Max. He has a longhorn shape freeze branded on his shoulder, and of course here in Austin, the land of UT, longhorns only mean one thing. :P Max Bumgardner was co-captain of the UT football team in the 40's.

I think you found a real gem buried in that auction, he's attractive and from what I can see in the picture nicely put together. Thanks for taking him home -he would've caught my eye too. The halter is the perfect touch! :lol:

He is absolutely gorgeous!

Damn the fact that I'm not pony sized...I'd have 10 of them! Oh wait, maybe that's the reason I'm not pony sized.
