Get to Know Adoptable Horse Bixby
Bixby was collected as a free-roaming feral kiddo in the mountainous region of eastern Kentucky. He is naturally curious and is a friendly young guy.
He’s a well-behaved youngster and has his whole life ahead of him and seems like he will be very easy to train. Bixby comes from an area of mostly gaited horses, so it’s likely he will be gaited under saddle one day when he’s old enough for training.
Bixby has a current Coggins, has been castrated, vaccinated, microchipped and has been in age-appropriate groundwork training. Bixby is estimated to mature around 13.2hh to 14.2hh; current height estimated.
