Just got this message over facebook, thought i would put it up for our interstate people.

We have today been advised of the closing down of a Northern Suburbs riding school and the lady who owned it couldn't get the prices she wanted for all of her 40 horses. So.... she decided to send them to the doggers yesterday. I know, WHY???

Anyway, a wonderful friend has managed to arrange for them to auction them off in Gympie on Saturday, but those not sold will be dogged.

Now these are quality school horses. There is nothing wrong with them. There are some beautiful horses, including 2 clydies!!! I KNOW!!!!

The Gympie sales are on this Sat the 19th from 9am... at the gympie sale yards....

Should be over 300 horses..

The contact number is 54810780 if you want details.

We need to save as many of these horses as we can. Please send this to as many people as you can.

Thank you in advance, from the horses. savyyeliza70@hotmail.com

how did it go??

not sure...hopefully atleast some of them got new homes!! i got that email forwarded to me so im not in contact with the people trying to save these horses.

are there many sales like this?
if so when are they?
If you think there are some quality horses at these auctions, we might hook up our float and take over, i dont know if SA has any?

saz091, the Magic Millions All Aged Sales at Morphettville are good for some bargains. There was one last weekend, and there will be another in July? I think. Mostly TBs, but anything can pop up there.

ohhh thanks for that!
Had no idea! i thought magic millions, were expensive- although i have never been, i just thought it would all be top horses going for top prices

We did have a horse auction in Mt Gambier up until a few months ago. But there is 1 oftern in Hamilton & thats just over the SA/Vic boarder, both my girl friend & i are riding bargains from the sale's they just needed a little TLC & fattening up but you can sure find some gr8 horses there.
