Friends have a foal for sale.Their first one and they are a little excited because the people didn't even question the high price they were asking. We live in the middle of Germany and the buyers are supposedly from Holland and picking up (picked up) another foal in Switzerland and would pick the one of our friends on the way back home. Needed to spend the night somewhere so asked our friends if they could put the foal they picked up in Sland on the pasture with theirs over night and they would stay in a hotel and go load both up at 1100 today.... Friends got up, had breakfast/done chores around the house and went to the pasture about 1000 to get the two foals ready to load and take care of money/paperwork..... Got there and the only thing on the pasture was the old gelding babysitter........ No proof that the foal is theirs other than pictures because they were too cheap to have it microchipped, no registration papers/DNA stuff cause they never found time to do it then the "buyers" said they'd take care of it.. Just anxious to see what the cops turn up. Live and learn I guess.....

The wife had that kind of thing happen a couple of times with Rottweiler pups. Folks would come to look at them,then a few days later a pup would come up missing.

yeah, and the city horse owners are bringing the horses out to the country and turning them loose in some ranchers pasture just to be rid of them. If I had a horse I didn't want I'd be glad he was gone.

It can happen in reverse, as well- we had an accidental litter of dalmation/Rhodesian ridgeback pups- several neighbors stopped by to look. Couple mornings later we found two new pups in the brood- Miniature collie crosses. Mom took them in like her own. We ended up keeping one of them- lived to age 17.

I heard a story a couple years ago about two guys who asked if they shoot some pigeons. Farmer let them but didn't watch close enough; the dog crate in the back of their truck was apparently large enough to hold a registered Holstein calf.

People seem to think they can do that to us with cats. It was one thing when we were milking cows and they stayed in the barn,caught mice and drank waste milk and milk replacer. Now we have to buy cat food. I tossed some out the back door the other night and counted 22 cats come-a-runnin.

I wish the horse thiefs would come to the USA and steal all those BLM mustangs that we taxpayers are supporting in all those rented pastures in Nebraska and Oklahoma. It is also time to bring back the killer market and repeal the Free Roaming Wild Horse and Burro Act of 1971 so we can go shoot those feral horses like the varmits they are. I think it would be great fun to go out the the deserts of Nevada and California and spend time knocking them down. Finally I would find a use for that 338 Mag I won a while back. Americans are to sentimental.

You shoot it,you eat it!!!!!!!!!

You say that like it is a bad thing! 3 things for sure: 1- you don't understand the problem of surplus horses and the negect and abuse those horses recieve, 2- you clearly have a tolerance for wasteful, foolish government spending that far exceeds mine, 3- you are too sentimental!

Trust me sir, I would. It wouldn't be the first time I ate horse. When Lewis and Clark went on the Corps of Discovery they ate lots of horse meat, dogs also. The idea that horses are not something to eat is only a recent developent in America. Like I say, to sentimental.

In the Sheep Industry News this week there was an article about bringing back horse slaughter. They are quietly sending it through the system, the kill floor should open soon.

Around here you have to watch or someone is dropping a horse off. My Brother and his wife are into horses. She finally figured out how to keep good care of pleasure horses. She has many "friends" with horses. She has gained four horses this last year because the owners could no longer afford the cost of feed and stable fees.

She did come over and help round up some western cattle I had on fall pasture. Those cows would not respond to a man on foot or 4 wheeler. Went right along with her on a horse.

It was kind of funny as just a few years ago she was doing the fancy horse shows all dressed up in riding cloths. Jumps and all. She had a blast chasing cows on an old quarter horse she had been given for free. That old horse had been around cattle before as he knew what to do. She is asking me all of the time now when she can help again. LOL Life is funny.

Always feed them from a small pan.

dave2,your comments about dna prompts me to ask because I am clueless when it comes to horses. Is dna required in registering a horse? I have always suspected unscruplis breeders of substituting animals for registeration. My vet offers services through a third party that determines the liniage of dogs. My understanding is they can sort out the multiple respective breeds of a mongrel. The cost is less than $100. If these tests are accurate,I support thier requirment in resistering all animals. It might be waived for animals that had been sterilized.

To register an American Quarter Horse, DNA is a requirement and for registering Australian Sheperds, DNA is a requirement. I can't answer for anything else as far as requirement, but it's a cheap/easy way to verify ownership, Micro chip is also good but by the time you get the verifications to make it legal evidence it costs as much or more than a DNA test. And a microchip can be removed....
