D'Arcy, responsible people don't give potential responders TWO DAYS  
though.  The price of hay has been rising for a while.  Do you  
suppose they attempted to sell their animals before now?  And why did  
they BREED them?  I'll just guess.  The stallion is a stud colt that  
is the offspring of one of the mares, and they were all in  
together.  ;-)

Within the last couple of days on the Fuglyhorse blog, there was a  
person who tried to do this with two warmblood mares, 18 yrs old or  
so, for $600 for the pair to anyone who would come pick them up.   
With no notice, just like this.  in Cave Creek, not exactly the poor  
side of Phoenix.  It's just irresponsible, and people like this  
should own motorcycles, not horses.  That way they can park them in  
their garage when they can't afford to use them.
