Auction Horses Rescue

CAN YOU HELP US FIND HIM?

His name is LEGAL AUTHORITY, and he is one of a batch of stallions that recently and suspiciously originated from Hector Palma’s BG Thoroughbreds.

He has been recently gelded before dumping,and he was under great emotional distress at the auction (where he sold as Hip 3616). However, we do not know who he sold to.

His tattoo is P07666
Year of Birth 2012

He is the FULL brother of Endorsement, who reportedly nearly made it to the Kentucky Derby himself.

They are both by Distorted Humor and out of the A.P. Indy mare Charmed Gift.

PLEASE HELP US FIND HIM SO WE CAN GET HIM SAFE

We are also desperately fundraising to get as many of these abandoned Thoroughbred stallions and ex-stallions from BG safe, the ones we’ve located so far (Fighting Hussar, Capital Asset) and aside from trying to locate Legal Authority, we believe there might be an additional BG ex-stallion at a private SoCal feed lot. (Pending identification)

This on top of the beautiful mare Yana, another unfortunate “BG grad,” who needs help most of all with neglected, pancaked hooves with the consistency of eggshells.

We need to fundraise as much as we possibly can to get these horses on a chartered haul to Kingfisher Farms in Solvang.

Please DONATE to our 501(c)3 Auction Horses Rescue to make sure these dreams of safety come true:

We need to raise $4850 for this group to live in Sanctuary crew at KERRI.

And we are still $667 shy of meeting the 2:1 donation match to get Scullyism safe to Oregon at Rio’s Refuge!

🚨Derby Day AND Mike’s Auction Today🚨

And we already know of THREE tattooed Thoroughbreds going to the auction today.

Unfortunately, we only received rushed photos of the tattoos and horses from the sellers, so this is all any of us have to work off of.

The tattoo photos we have received for each horse will be underneath each horse’s photos as well as under the main post.

EXPERIENCED tattoo readers ONLY. If you’re just learning how to, this isn’t the time or place.

They are scheduled to sell at Mike’s Livestock Auction in Mira Loma, CA TONIGHT, MAY 2, 2026.

Here are the individual descriptions we have received:

1. “Older tattooed mare. Hard to read tattoo. EST age 14 yrs old”

2a. (And 2b.) “17 hands tb gelding. Hard to read tattoo 18 yrs old”

3. Tattoo gelding. 18 yrs old about.”

4. Thoroughbred mare. No info at all, no photos, as of yet.

The first three Thoroughbreds have reportedly been scanned for microchips and did not have them.

We’ll post whatever more we can find and find out once we are at the auction.

Auction Horses Rescue is an all-volunteer 501(c)3 non-profit horse rescue. We attend the auctions just as any member of the public would; we do not own or sell ANY of the horses at the auctions or feed lots.

Our rescue attends the auctions to save horses (as well as minis/ponies, donkeys, and mules) as we have space and the funding to support. But we don’t stop there. Even when AHR is completely full, we go deep into the trenches and try to network every horse in need we find to GOOD, ETHICAL homes and rescues
Once AHR rescues a horse, it is safe for life.

Thank you to our village of horse lovers who try to make a difference any way they can. Even if you can’t give a horse a home, or donate, just sharing, liking, and commenting on our posts extends our reach to, perhaps, someone who CAN help in the here and now!

Please note Mike’s Auction goes by very quickly. At most there is only a few hours to preview horses before they sell in the auction ring. Once in the auction ring, they typically sell within 30 seconds. If you are new to bidding at the auction, you might have to jump up, wave your arms, and shout your bid so it is recognized.
We are NOT brokers and do not purchase horses at the auction, unless they are being rescue by us, or to someone previously adopted or fostered through us, and been through our extended screening process.

What we post about a horse is ALL we know about a horse. Many horses sell without any information at all. Again, we are all volunteer and do not have time to answer redundant questions.
