I have been keeping a closer tab of horses listed on Kelo and Craigs List as of late. And that reminded me that I have a blog set up specifically to list horses at risk of getting into the hands of traders, brokers, and killbuyers.
I decided last night that I would start. The site is at:
http://atriskhorselistings.blogspot.com/
I have noticed that a number of listings are pulled off CraigsList by the time I can sit down and post to the blog in the evening. I can watch all day but dont' have time to post until evenings.
So if you are looking for any at risk horses, sit on Craigs List for a week. I am seeing a number of cheap horses being posted. This makes me wonder if there will be tons of horses this fall. We are having a decent season for pastures (although we could use some heat). But I think the economy and people's life styles are changing.
I am fearful that there will be many good horses headed to slaughter and I want to post them so that they may have a fighting chance. Please keep your eyes open for cheap horses and give them a chance if you're in the position to.
Hopefully I'll keep the site up to date with the horses I see listed. I know there is another gal doing the same thing but she's not hitting the Craigs List ads as hard as I am. Maybe we can get a joint effort going. Anyway, if you see any suspicious ads, check them out. Those horses need your help!
