ALTO – Five horses have new homes, thanks to the Lee Arrendale Equine Center and the Georgia Department of Agriculture.
On Saturday, the center, on the grounds of Lee Arrendale State Prison in Alto, held its first equine auction. Dozens turned out to inspect and bid on the horses.
The festive, family atmosphere featured booths, fire safety education by the Lee Arrendale State Prison Fire Team, concessions, and the opportunity for participants to try their hand at pitching horseshoes. But the featured activity was the auction, in which horses were ridden into the ring for review as volunteer auctioneer Mickey Farmer accepted bids.
