In the past anyway the kind of horses that needed "rescued" for the most part were where they were for good reason. I know I used to buy at such sales 3 days a week. Not once did I buy a horse that didnt have a big "hole"( as we put it) in them. Some you could fix, others you could not. None were solid citizens to begin with.

Lene,
A woman next door had always wanted a Paint and the other neighbor had rescued some from an auction. So the first woman paid the rescuer $400 for the 5 yr. old paint. She has never been able to get on him cause he bucks so bad. She has empolyed several trainer for months and he still bucks so he is usless so far as a trail horse. She is now hiring the third trainer. She might as well have bought the horse she wanted that was trained and proven for what she has put into vet and trainers bills and she still does not have a trained horse. Just something to consider in deciding about a rescue.
