SPECIAL EVENT ADOPTION
APRIL 15, 2006
PVC FACILITY

This mare is included in our special event adoption and will be available for adoption on April 15th. The adoption event will take place at the PVC facility, morning briefing is scheduled for 9am, competitive bidding starts at 10am and is completed at 11am. Animals not adopted under the competitive bid will be available for the standard adoption fee of $125 on a first come first serve basis. They will be available for load out as soon as the bidding has concluded. The bidding starts at $125 and can be raised in increments of $5.

This is a facility adoption. You will have to travel to the facility to adopt the animal and you will be responsible for transportation home.

Note: These are untrained wild horses and burros. The one question we are asked most often is, “how tall is the horse?” Understand, we cannot walk up to them and measure them. You will notice in a number of pictures with 2 blue lines on the fence in the background. Though this is not an accurate measure of the animal, the blue lines are for scale. The top line measures 60 inches up the fence, the bottom line is 56 inches. 15 hands= 60 inches, 14 hands=56 inches. The horses are photographed in front of the marked fence. This is not an accurate way to measure the horse due to a number of variations. 1) we had a snow storm, the horses are standing in a mud hole, 2) I am 6 foot tall, therefore, I am shooting down to the top line, 3) the distance of the horse to the camera, 4) the distance between the horse and the marked fence. Please use the blue lines as a scale reference to compare one horse versus another.
