okay we we\u2019ve ate breakfast and we\u2019re on the way to the sail it\u2019s uh we\u2019re running on time which is always good we\u2019ve got um we put that video out that there was our top three but in actuality we have a short list of 10 that we\u2019re interested in and um we just you know got to see what happens I\u2019m a little bit worried that we put out so much before we know the results that we could let people down because if it isn\u2019t the right time time and I don\u2019t get the right feeling while I\u2019m bidding I\u2019m not going to buy one I\u2019m\n

 \n

\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n
\n\n
\n
not going to force myself to buy one just because uh We\u2019ve posted you know to social media however I sure hope it works out I just don\u2019t know which one it\u2019s going to work out with or how it\u2019s going to work out so that\u2019s kind of the part of the fun of the or part of the thrill of auctions I guess and like I said this this is not a bad scenario auction every horse here um um for the most part has had a lot of work put into them to be ready and prepared for this auction and the the it\u2019s really a community of people that are bidding on\n

 \n

\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n
\n\n
\n
them it\u2019s it\u2019s you know this Clydesdale show Community the registry and um you know it\u2019s not not a bunch of flippers or auction buyers so it\u2019s a pretty pretty awesome sale how they put it in every horse is taken care of the Stalls are bedded well they\u2019re all fed and watered well they\u2019re all groomed well they\u2019re all trained rain well so it\u2019s pretty exciting it\u2019s a good time okay it is 7 a.m. and we\u2019ve made it back to the fairgrounds and we\u2019re going to or the sale starts at 8 so we\u2019re going to make a round check out the\n

 \n

\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n
\n\n
\n
three horses we talked about and then the other ones too just do double checks on all of them so like J.R said we had about 10 horses on our list that we were looking at uh Lot Number 14 was the beautiful Bay uh dappled Mar named Jasmine she was the 4-year-old mayor who is broke to drive double and was also bred for a February full and then we have Lot number 61 which was the 10-\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n
have Lot number 47 which was Lucinda uh she was a 4-year-old mayor broke to ride and drive she was so sweet and beautiful but she was the one with the issue uh where she had the bone chips then we we had Lot number six which was the seven-year-old mayor Rose and she had the two we old adorable fo alongside and then we had Lot number 86 she was the little Philly that was just being a goofball really playful that\u2019s kind of how we remembered her but her name was actually Aaron and then there was lot\n

 \n

\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n
\n\n
\n
number 80 which was the 2-year-old mayor that we dubb scratches cuz she loved to be scratched and then this was Lot number 11 I believe I could be wrong about that but she was a four-year-old mayor broke single and double and and she rides and she was the one we called stitches because of the cut above her eye and then we have Lot number 108 and lot number 103 which we actually uh didn\u2019t show in the last video uh but we came back um early this morning and we\u2019re going to look at him right now too valuable\n

 \n

\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n
\n\n
\n
just she would make she would make a good youth cart Mir if somebody\u2019s looking for a youth cart Mir she\u2019d be perfect for that she\u2019s gorgeous yeah she is pretty I\u2019m looking for a teammate for my have one I like doing f equipment like I get all the firewood in with him this winter and do that kind of stuff we do a few parades nice size for that does yours look like this close or she\u2019s a little bigger but she\u2019s more mature mine\u2019s just come three oh okay he\u2019s not to finish out anys we thought this mayor was absolutely stunning her\n

 \n

\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n
\n\n
\n
build was amazing she was just so thick and muscled up um she was 8 years old and I believe she was bred she was broke single and double and you could ride her she was absolutely gentle um just everything about her was absolutely perfect of course she was on our list absolutely but we kind of assumed she was going to go for a higher price at least higher than what week ago and then this was the other 8-year-old mayor that we looked at Margaret um I don\u2019t believe she was trained to drive or ride um I\n

 \n

\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n
\n\n
\n
know they said she had been shown but I believe they met in halter and I think she mostly had been used as a Brun Mir but she was just super sweet okay me and Becca are on a mission to find a m that had a two we old fo on her we want to look at again is that her she she was on the right side may they moved her yeah they could have moved her that\u2019s true here she is cuz there\u2019s The Sire a oh\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n
top three favorites good morning baby oh good morning we don\u2019t think that they will be in our price range but you never know would you sleep good yeah you\u2019re nice a so she\u2019s like supposed to be 2 weeks old right Becca yeah just turned and this is her mama very pretty sweet mirror you\u2019re so cute hi baby I would like to take you home with me you\u2019re so playful hello hello this is The Sire to the little fo so we\u2019re going to wait on Jr here for just a minute he wants to he had to run back to the truck real quick and then\n

 \n

\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n
\n\n
\n
we\u2019re going to look at them a little bit closer she\u2019s so sweet you said you call her peaches yep hered Peach will be Princess Peach Princess Peach a okay right I know how that is baby good oh she\u2019s I want she\u2019s so sweet so cute okay this is Jasmine the morning of the sale there\u2019s about 1 hour till the sale start she\u2019s lot 14 so she\u2019ll be selling at close to the beginning mhm she\u2019s one of our top three interest in so we\u2019ve come back to double check on her there really wasn\u2019t much to double check on we were really just having fun\n

 \n

\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n
\n\n
\n
Jasmine checked all the boxes she was perfect we also checked Natty the little Philly out one last time Becca is feeling up and down nattie\u2019s legs feeling her joints just to make sure everything feels good and normal uh the FEA WEA on the Clyde stes really covers up a lot on the lower part of the leg so it\u2019s definitely good to check as Becca has stated a few times this is the one you can tell she\u2019s absolutely in love with Natty there were so many beautiful Clydes but she just kept being drawn to this one I mean we\n

 \n

\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n
\n\n
\n
all wore but Becca was just a little bit more Natty was absolutely beautiful and sweet so it\u2019s going to be a long way she\u2019s number 61 so a little bit further in I did say a prayer right before this just kind of asking you know if the right horse was here or if we were even supposed to get um one here or in the future at all and just asking for wisdom and guidance through the day and for some odd reason I kept feeling almost like hearing in me that we were going to get Natty but again she\u2019s about halfway\n

 \n

\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n
\n\n
\n
through the sale so we have a little bit before we\u2019re going to find out I think she is the one what do you think yes you want to come home with me yeah yeah we checked on the mayor Barbie one last time as well and I mean it\u2019s pretty easy with her she\u2019s kind of perfect like Jasmine she checks out all the boxes um I guess you could say the only drawback maybe would be her age she was 15 which really isn\u2019t that bad but she had never fold before and if we got her we would want to breed her to Oliver\n

 \n

\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n
\n\n
\n
Jr really wasn\u2019t concerned though with with her age and breeding uh we would be taking her to the vet anyways and he would give us our his okay before we would do that so she\u2019s definitely on our list and we actually didn\u2019t double check on the mayor lucenda uh she had the bone chips jar had thought about it slept on it and just kind of decided it was a little bit too risky uh so unless she goes crazy cheap more than likely we won\u2019t bid on her as beautiful as she is at this point we were running out of\n

 \n

\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n
\n\n
\n
time and the sale was about to begin so we didn\u2019t get a double ch on the really pretty playful yearling Philly uh scratches or stitches okay we\u2019re about 10 minutes out from the sale starting Jr is still walking around and me and the kids came and sat down which one are you hoping for Becca I want Natty Natty she\u2019s my favorite I like I like the mar and po too though I was going to say I honestly would pick the mar and po first and then Natty but I don\u2019t think the May PO is any we just yeah we just kind of\n

 \n

\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n
\n\n
\n
figure that\u2019s going to be out of our we can do so we look the horses will come through this door over here and then come into the arena and then they go out that door over there so are you nervous or excited nervous you\u2019re nervous I kind of feel nervous too I don\u2019t know why though not about getting a horse nervous that we\u2019re not going to get it yeah okay here we go this is Lot number two we have Lot number two Lot number two is Hercules showgirl so there were 125 Clydesdales consigned to this sale um so that\u2019s a\n

 \n

\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n
\n\n
\n
lot to try and show in a video so we\u2019re just going to stick to the ones that we were interested in or bid on now we can do a ful length video of the whole sale or at least most of it we got most of um the horses going through except for a handful at the end cuz our batteries uh camera batteries died so if you\u2019d like to see a longer version of the sale maybe let us know in the comments we weren\u2019t really quite sure how many of you would be interested in seeing that if there\u2019s a lot of interest then we\u2019ll\n

 \n

\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n
\n\n

 \n

\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n
\n\n
\n
born April 2 I\u2019ve been waiting for R is gentle mayor that is easy to get into pole they did not expose her on pole heat so the new buyer is able to breed to the stallion of their choice Rose was previously broke to drive but most recently has only been used as a brood M she comes with strong maternal lines as her mother westerdale Denny had a fold at the right old age of 21 for the Dez family also a half on side to the great cord Pearl be you talk about an outstanding brute be with an outstanding pedigree and an\n

 \n

\n\n\n\n

 \n

\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n
\n\n
\n
everything ended a little oddly with Jasmine uh we really wanted her we thought she was the perfect horse for us and we actually won the bid uh but there was some confusion and the men and the auction ring who take the bids uh they uh thought that the other bidder won and they gave it to them so when they announced um sold we thought she was ours but they gave it to the other bidder the people around us also thought that she was going to us so there was just some confusion there but we never said anything um and we let it slide cuz\n

 \n

\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n
\n\n
\n
the owners ended up no selling her um directly after she sold anyway so it in the end it really didn\u2019t matter once everything\u2019s over if we haven\u2019t got a horse at the end of the s j I\u2019ll probably go talk to the owners and see if they want to Recon she is her dam is Brookside Bella her sire is table rocks Cracker Jack she\u2019s a young four-year-old mayor she is green broke to drive and ride been an easy mayor to work with she is selling open she did have OCD surgery and Carries some fluid in her Hawks that\n

 \n

\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n
\n\n
\n
was vet checked and it is just normal joint fluid there is a vet confirmation that she is 100% sound does not affect her at all she did ride through the preview yesterday and rode off really well well boys I\u2019ll tell you what she\u2019s doing everything just perfect look at her stand there just listening to everything that\u2019s going on as beautiful as can be you that I\u2019d like to have 15 grand 151,000 [Music] here this is lucenda but after sleeping on it last night I kind of decided not to B on her but if she goes really cheap they might\n

 \n

\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n
\n\n
\n
make [Music] me so we ended up not bidding on Lucinda but she was absolutely stunning beautiful um kind of perfect for us except that she had had the OCD bone chips uh the auctioner and owner stated that she was sound she had the vet inspection so more than likely it was perfectly fine we just felt a little bit uncomfortable and unsure about the situation so we let her go and she was right in our price range to 5,000 00 um another steel for somebody they probably got an amazing horse and she is just\n

 \n

\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n
\n\n
\n
