The Colt is Going, Going, Gone!


More than a year ago Mary's brother-in-law had a colt that died several days after it was born. He had a full-body mount made of the colt. The colt made its rounds from living room, to feed mill, to basement.

Now, a year after he has it back from the taxidermist, he was ready to sell it and get it out of the way. A family with ten children needs all the room in the house without having a colt take up a few cubic feet. We listed it on ebay for him and it actually sold for more than he said he wanted out of it.


Saturday Mary took a big box and packing supplies to their house and packed the colt for shipping. The children said goodbye to the horse and then helped her pack him up. One of the little boys said, "I will never forget this horse!"

Now, the colt is packed and ready to be shipped. Monday it will begin its journey to California.

I didn't know you were selling a horse on ebay. That would be a horse that Elaine could have. We wouldn't have to get anyone to take care of it when we travel.
