Horse of the Month - Buster Brown

Horse of the Month is Buster Brown

Redwings was told that Buster had run away from his home and lived in the woods for several months. Frightened by the sound of guns when hunting season started, he returned home. To get “even” with him for running away, his owner worked him until his chest was bleeding from deep lacerations, and then hauled him off to the auction to be sold for slaughter. At that time it was still legal to sell equines at auctions for human consumption. It is no longer legal to do this.

He is Buster his first day at the Ranch:



Redwings was there that day to out-bid the “killer buyers” from the slaughter houses and make sure Buster would have a safe home and never have to “escape” again. He has since learned to trust humans and, in fact, loves all the attention and affection he can get.
