At least you don't have to worry about the Amish seeing your video and getting upset 😅
I live in south central Pennsylvania and we’re surrounded by the Amish. Some have better cell phones and laptops than I do.
If A WEALTHY PERSON BUYS these absolutely massive gentle GIANTS I PRAY you do them a GREAT KINDNESS and ALLOW them to live life!! Not just die off working day after day, sun up to sun down in the harness!!
Beautiful horses!
I was so happy to see all the drafts with their tails not docked until the Belgians came out… very disappointing to see this barbaric practice still happening! 😡
Why do they doc the tails ? The horses use the tail
If I understand. it's so the tail.doesn't get caught when working in the fields .
Didn’t know that they actually docked the tails! I just assumed that they just cut the tail short, I agree that it is a barbaric thing to do. It’s illegal to dock in Australia as they have found that animals can suffer from long term pain if not done properly.
@@lexi4693no. They cut the bone and in europe it was an affectation as tails can be braided to avoid catching in harnesses
Thank you for sharing! If it wasn’t for the Amish, I think these gorgeous drafts would be gone for good. The Percherons were especially lovely.
I never expected stunt riding! Thank you so much for sharing this event.
Nothing like watching good livestock sell at auction. Granddad bought my pony that way 50+ years ago. Yee- Haa! Thank you.
Thanks for sharing this! We’re in Minnesota and it’s really very nice to see what’s going on elsewhere in the Drafthorse world! ❤
Thank you Sheila! I haven’t made it to Minnesota yet but definitely am planning on coming there to see some draft folks. Thx for watching, Dave
I love that sale! Haven't been in several years now. I must try to go again this year. The food is great. The horses are stunning. And it's not far from most of the Amish visitor sites. Really a fun trip!
Thank you sue I appreciate it! The sale has been all week and I’m actually here again! And to top it all off I’m staying with an Amish family! I’ll be posting the spring 23 sale video next week. Thx for watching! Dave
Gorgeous horses in tip top condition. I was always forbidden by my Ma and Granny from going to horse auctions because 'your heart can't take it'. I know obvs of the $1M + Thoroughbred Racehorses at Keeneland in Kentucky but have seen some other types of auction on Horse Plus YT channel - they rescue horses from 'slaughter pipeline' and are amazing at rehabilitating and rehoming horses often in a seriously pitiful state (sometimes drugged so the limp is less pronounced etc). .
Yes I watch HorsePlus as well. I could not do what they do, emotionally would not be able to handle but glad there are folks out there like them doing that work. This auction was tip top as you say. Young working stock going to new farms and older stock with plenty of life left in them. No kill pen animals here. I’m going back next week again to look at equipment and will be posting another video. I appreciate it and thx for watching! Dave
That was really enjoyable. What magnificent animals. Thank you for taking the time to share . Your parting message is what it’s all about in life . God Bless you and your farm .
Thank you Southern Belle!
Really beautiful horses. 🌞

Thanks for sharing!
Would love to see more farm equipment too.
Thank you Suzie I appreciate it! Not sure why I didn't even think of filming all of the farm equipment, Ill do better next time. Thx for watching! Dave
Thank you
Good afternoon Dave, horse heaven. What stunning looking horses,loved the two dappled grays at 3.05 l think l got that right.But what a lot of noise,think l definitely would have had a bad head at the end of that day.They all looked in tremendous condition and well kept.Yes l bet your ready to go home now,nice to get away but soooo nice to go home and sleep in your own bed,l think you may well agree 😊 lm looking forward to seeing how much the youngsters have grown and they'll be pleased to see dad back.Your looking well rested Dave and always nice to see a video come up of yours.Till next time dear friend,all the very best Joyce 🌱🌱🌱💕
Dappled Grays 3.36
Hello Joyce and yes your correct in dapple gray. That Amish man was retiring and brought 11 grays, he left with over $98K!!!!! His horses brought premium pricing. That was a great trip that I thoroughly enjoyed and having a new Amish friend to visit and gain knowledge, experience, and contacts from is reason to go back annually. It’s beautiful there and as I’ve said, so are the people. No one ever wants to go so I’ll go solo and just share with my RUclips family!!! Have a great weekend
Have a wonderful week and Dave and enjoy every day 🤗
Percherons
If I had horses I could never sell them,you never know how the next person will treat them the prices are reasonable.
Yes they become like family that’s for sure! Thx for watching! Dave
Very good thanks
All beautiful
Ohio city slicker here...I always, always wanted to go to one of these horse auctions...so thanks for the sneak peak inside. I wonder why they don't want people filming...wouldn't that be great promotion for their furure auctions.
It was really a neat experience that you need to see for yourself. That entire area is so addicting! All of the shops outside of the auction and the beautiful countryside. I think because it’s mostly Amish run and they don’t like being filmed, is the reason for no filming. There is a ton of folks like us there buying but the majority of vendors, sellers, horse handlers, auctioneers, etc are all Amish. Thx for watching! Dave
Often times when a messenger(Amish lifestyle) is well received(photographed) the messenger becomes praised and the message is forgotten. (Amish raised)
I hate to sound like the voice of doom, but this is the answer to the question - “How can we possibly raise food without diesel?”
But that would not be in the quantities we produce now.
Wish I could live there
I'm in ireland,great video.thank u. Mighty stock
Charlie I appreciate it! They are mighty for sure and thx for watching! Dave
Wake Up!!....HORSE AUCTIONS ARE ALWAYS FOR HORSE KILL/MEAT BUYERS.... they are truck shipped for knife slaughter to Mexico.......Call your representative for the LAWS against horse kill auctions!!
Gorgeous dapple grays. Why is he selling?
He retired. He had I think about 10-12 total he was selling. Very nice animals. Thx for watching. Dave
I would like to attend next year would you know the dates. iam from Missouri
The big sale is in March and October and runs the entire week. They have sales monthly and a draft horse sale the second Saturday of March, June and October. You can google “Mt Hope Auction” and get an exact schedule. It’s addicting and be prepared to go annually!!!! Lots of shops in area for the wife, you can get a catalog and go to what your interested in and the rest of the time you can visit local cheese, antiques, quilt, furniture shops etc. Hope that helps and thx for watching! Dave
Were there any American Creams at the auction?
There was not any, I’ve actually never even seen one in person. I’ve only read about them. I’d like to see one and talk with some folks that actually have them. Thx for watching! Dave
Have horse prices gone up as fast as gas prices?
They skyrocketed during Covid but I think it was a supply and demand issue. They are starting to soften a bit and hopefully in the next 2 years they will be back down to reasonable prices. Thank you for watching! Dave
prices always go up because our money is worth less. Inflation is the carrot on a stick for average folks that are ever getting squeezed out of (buying power) profits. As most buying power of the Amish deminishes they can actually say that when the market falls, they can not tell.
OMG, did anybody understand the speaker😂😅…?
greetings where is the exact location of the auction thanks🙏🏻
It’s in Mt Hope Ohio, the next big sale there is the first week of March. The 6-10 to be exact, I’ll be back up there! Thx for watching, Dave
Thank you very much I will be there very good content and cute animals it has 🙏🏻
I occupy a white hearse, do you know where I can get it?
@@GilOlivo2088 I know of a white and black hearse in Georgia, both are for sale as the operator retired in January. He is 71 years old, not sure what he wants for them but I’d be glad to forward you his info. I have a brief video I can send you of the white one as well. Send your email address and I’ll forward them to you
The horses are Gorgeous but I do not like the fact that the Amish may act all innocent here but when they aren’t in the line light they treat their animals badly and when they are either to old or injured or broken they are taken to slaughter it’s a known fact as well another thing as well when the gentleman introduced the place to us he said that a lot of the horses had been sold already well being that the Amish were all around that area the Amish had them also the Amish are known for puppy mill farming as well I no I will get hate but it’s the reality of what really happen these gorgeous horses do not stand a chance no matter what breed or what breeding they are from
I agree with you to a large extent Denise. I will say however after spending time with some of them, they do take care of the horses. I think the ones that come to this high end sale are more reputable than others. Puppy mills are huge in this area, it seems that the Ohio Amish are the pup breeders, not Indiana, Pennsylvania or other states. I tried to go in one last week on my visit there but was quickly told no I wasn’t allowed. I found that they are surprisingly highly regulated and subject to inspection at any time with no notice. I do not agree with it but it’s part of their culture we don’t control. Every animal they own is a tool and they have no emotional connection as we do. Thx for watching! Dave
People (what people) are paying those prices without a veterinarian check, x-rays, and actually hitching them to vehicle? That was line driving and some horses where not even in harness. Did those prices include the harnesses?
Vets were on site to do any checks or blood work needed, you could hitch them to any type of wagon you wanted provided by weaver wagons and drive until you were content. Driving was the day prior to sale. In some cases the harness was included but mostly it was just the horses. I just didn't show that out of respect as it was too congested and lots of spectators. Thx for watching!
Why do they cut some of the Belgian horses tails off?
For some reason if your going to show them, they have to have docked tails. The Amish like to breed for the hitch class (like the Budweiser Clydesdales) and they dock the tails at birth, most of them never make it to that level and go through life with a short tail. It also helps with not getting tangled in your lines but I personally prefer the long tails and wish they were all long tails but tradition is hard to break I guess. Hope that helps and thx for watching! Dave
The massive growned tails-hair of them can produce some injuries.
I thought they were wrapped up like a ladies bun.
@@bredixon7685 they are wrapped up in a bun but only what’s left of the tail after docking. Thx for watching! Dave
Wake Up!!....HORSE AUCTIONS ARE ALWAYS FOR HORSE KILL/MEAT BUYERS.... they are truck shipped for knife slaughter to Mexico.......Call your representative for the LAWS against horse kill auctions!!
To those people who want technology rather than real living working beings I say ,how are you going to farm when there is no fuel for your machines
love it. new zealand
Thx Roy I appreciate it! Thank you for watching! Dave
Ohio da normal atlar
Lots of Amish people.
What else could be a better way of buying and selling the souls of men than through the buying and selling one's own horses. Sometimes the difference between the "haves" and the "have nots" is the fine art of breaking the will of both children and horses without breaking the spirits thereof.
They sure are gorgeous ! I can't believe they are so expensive these days, Wowza ! The energy at the auctions is extraordinary. The excitement is palpable !
@@jomama5186 the horses that do 75% of the work are only worth about 50% of these. What is shown is >>"cream of the crop" What this showmanship does for Amish is the same as what war memorials do for potential GI Joes. Influence without propaganda.
Some of those “plain folk” have a lot of money.
of course they are not beating their horses in front of the english. If ya'll weren't watching they would.
Reminds me of how the Amish used to sell black slaves
Actually its sad. I grew up there and it looks worse
END this now
Who the heck uses draft horses in 2022!? Are we taking agriculture back to preindustrial times?? Pssst .. there’s tractors now
The Amish, among others, farm with horses.
I'm from Ohio and there are lots of Amish communities on farms here. They still use buggies to get to church & town...and horses to plow the fields.
the amish do they abuse them and run them into the ground animals are just property them them,as a vet tech Ive never seen such abuse as amish do ,plus they are the biggest for puppy mills..
@@bettybeiling7791 they do run them in the ground then sell them for slaughter when no longer can pull the plough. It comes from their bible that says “god gave man dominion over the animals”
All of those folks with the flat straw hats and bonnets are Amish. Very large populations of them in Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania. By the way, the draft horse industry is pretty huge elsewhere, too, with lots of wagon hitch shows/competitions (similar to the Budweiser Beerwagon Clydesdales) and horse pulls which are like strongman contests with Belgian and Percheron horses. So, yes, draft horses are alive and well....
HOLOCOUST OF HORSES
What for a stupid comparishment of you
Get a tractor
Another stupid idiot in this thread. Become a vegan videogamer
A pair of those horses is damn near as big as Jerry Nadler and Stacy Abrams
Classy
I love Belgians!! I need two, if not three. How do you enter into these auctions? Thank you for posting
You can go to any of them for free, just show up and go inside. If you want to bid then go to office and get a bidder number . That’s it, auctions are all over and held every month. The mid Ohio spring sale is coming up the first week of March. I’ll be back up there for sure. Google Mt Hope Auction and you will see the monthly schedule for that site but March and October are the big sales. Hope that helps and thx for watching!
