Congratulations Kayla and Bella Fay for your great job at the Wicomico Equestrian Center horse show on Aug. 14th.





As most of you know, we had a LONG and exciting trip to the Camelot Horse Auction in New Jersey on 6/23/10. We were the first people to arrive at the auction unaware that we had a 5 hour wait before the auction started, but in our spare time had a great oppurtunity to check out most horses individually. Of all the horses we looked at, one impeticular needed our attention the most; Gold Ensign, a jockey club registered 11 year old Thoroughbred mare.

Though we don't know much of Gold Ensigns past history, we know a lot about her last couple of days. Gold Ensign, a smaller paint mare, and a haflinger were all put into a 12 ft stock trailer for their trip to the auction. Unfortunately a 12 ft stock trailer is only built to hold 2 average sized horses so you can imagine what the ride to the auction must have been like. Unfortunately Gold Ensign and her painted friend apparently fell during the trailer ride and were unable to right themselves before arriving at the auction. None of the three horses made it out unharmed but Gold Ensign had certainly endored the worst of it.

A 6 hour wait went by until Gold Ensign was finally brought into the ring. We were the first ones to arrive at the auction and of the last ones to leave. All buyers left happily with their well conditioned horses all selling twice the amount or better than our poor girl, but I think we were the proudest new owners walking out of the auction house with our new great horse though out of 50 head, in the worst condition!
