Any Ol' Horse

I know I shouldn't be offended but I am. Bo was slaughter bound. Had I not stepped in, I'm not sure if he would have gone to a private buyer or not. I have a hard time telling who is bidding but I know I was bidding against someone down on the floor near the corner (which is where the KBs hang out). So I'm guessing Bo would have been standing in a slaughter feedlot right now waiting for his turn like the majority of the horses run through at a loose auction.

Someone recently said something about "trying to save any ol' horse from a slaugther feedlot."

Every horse has a story. Every horse had someone care for them at one point in time. NO horse is just "any ol' horse in a slaughter feedlot." They are the unlucky who ended up at the wrong place at the wrong time.

I know some about the situation and I'm hoping the words were spoken out of anxiety and frustration. But NO horse should be standing in a slaughter feedlot. By what this person said, Bo could have been any ol' horse from a slaughter feedlot because they didn't have a vested interest. Just because someone doesn't have a vested intersted in a particular horse doesn't mean they aren't worth something. A horse means something to someone, it's just a matter of finding that right someone.

When I saw Bo, I saw a skinny horse that needed to be saved. I know there were horses in better health that went to slaughter and I could have pulled them and rehomed. But there was something about Bo that drew me to him.

Bo is most definitely a diamond in the rough and I look forward to seeing him improve. I want to tell his story because apparently he was just "any ol' horse" headed to a slaughter feedlot.
