Get to Know Adoptable Horse Twix
Looking for a horse that’s got fire in his heart, sparkle in his eye, and absolutely zero time for slowpokes? Say hello to Twix, the flashy, fiery gelding who thinks he’s the main event — and honestly, we’re not going to argue.
Twix is not your average pasture ornament. He’s a full-throttle, arena-loving, pole-bending, barrel-blasting machine with a confidence level that should honestly be studied by scientists. He doesn’t just run patterns — he owns them. Walk into a new arena? He’ll strut in like he’s been crowned champion three years running (whether or not he has is beside the point).
Now, let’s be honest, Twix knows he’s got it going on. He’s got the looks, the moves, and the attitude to match. He’s not here for cuddles and small talk. He’s here to go fast and be fabulous. And while he may occasionally under saddle be, well… let’s say “selectively cooperative,” it’s all part of his charm. Twix isn’t here to people-please. He’s here to find someone who can keep up.
But here’s the twist: for all his turbo-charged ego in the saddle, Twix is a total gentleman on the ground. He’s easy to handle, enjoys attention (on his terms, of course), and is happy to hang out with humans who can appreciate the depth of his self-delusion. Respect his royal status, and he’ll meet you halfway — maybe even three-quarters if snacks are involved.
He needs a rider who loves speed, thrives on big energy, and won’t flinch when he turns on the turbo. If you like ‘em with a little extra spice, Twix might just be your kind of horse. He’s got a light gas pedal and heavy brake pedal — and he will demand a generous dinner afterward. Flashy, fun, and full of personality, Twix is a four-legged firecracker ready to light up your world.
This isn’t a horse who’s counting his years — he’s too busy living them. So if you’re looking for a steady trail plodder, you might want to pass. But if you’re up for a thrilling ride with a whole lot of personality and a horse who genuinely believes he’s a legend, then saddle up and come meet Twix.
Twix is current on: Coggins, vaccines, worming, farrier and dental care and is microchipped. Twix has Cushing’s and will sent to his new home with a 30-day supply of Prascend.
