It was Brendon Sale today and as usual there was no planned catalogue. There were horses penned in a barn - 8 foals of different colours/sizes and another young horse. There were 2 cobs for sale in the field,,,and puppies, chickens and ducks. Usually the horses are auctioned after the sheep sale but it turned out that there was no planned auction of horses today and they were just open for private offers. Haynets were provided for the horses but no water. One local lady asked for water to be provided but her request was met with hostility but she did pursue the matter and the horses were provided with a bucket of water which they drank until it was empty.
Another member of the public made some enquiries about whether any authorities were present - there were no authorities at the sale. They were concerned because one person selling animals is well known locally to be banned from keeping animals - very difficult situation when there are no authorities present to keep an eye on things.
Many thanks to Gill for her donation of £10 to the p4p ponies and to Angela for her donation yesterday from the beginnings of her quadbike expeditioning (to be continued next year)
Back at the yard this afternoon we were pleased to see Bill who came to work with Bobby and Wolfie for their dental check up!
