Where it's auctions and more auctions

Llanybydder Horse and Pony (Hunters and Riding Ponies) Sale October 26th 2010 Report and photos from EMW-KCB

“The market (this month) had bedding. Last month we didn't see ANY stall with straw, today there were a few and nearly all had a bucket with water.

Last month we only found one stall with a bucket. I'm not sure if it was because it was a hunter and foal show.

There was a lot of Shetland foals all so sweet but very crowded into pens, is there a law regarding the number of horses/ponies to a stall? The Shetland and small ponies all crammed in a total of 49 foals

 I watched them in the ring and foal was sticking to her mum like glue and was extremely agitated and upset whenever the handlers tried to get in between them. I took some photos there were of course no signs of animal welfare people or RSPCA.
There were some nice horses there today. I saw a coloured section D gelding ridden went for 1250 guineas and another for 1000guineas, the appaloosa mare in foal went for 850guineas and her filly foal went for 550guineas. Good prices considering the economy.

I rang Carmarthen council and spoke to the local animal welfare officer who said she was there today, she did take the details of my report.
These (right) were a part a lot of 17 entered by one vendor. At one point they became so agitated and frightened that one slipped and its leg became stuck through the bottom rung of the pen fencing!
This little one (below left) kept trying to suckle off the other little pony who kept kicking out at it to get it to stop! poor things.
