His given name was Presley but he earned the name Satan, and it has stuck.
Last summer, the person who rescued the beautiful 3-year-old gelding “American Mutt Pony (AKA Welsh/QH cross)” posted an attention-getting ad that was filled with humor — and the naked truth:
“Pony Available at your own risk… 13 hands of fireball He isn’t broke to ride and most days barely broke to lead. (If you can even catch him) He ran the streets of Garrard Co for 6 months before Animal Control could even catch him. He DOES rear buck and kick a little bit. Even a bite on occasion (Especially if you try to touch him) You can pick up his feet (if you have a death wish. )…
“But he does have some ok things about him. He has that gorgeous color every(one) pays for. He respects fences. He gets along great with other horses. (Especially mares) He is cute as a button. He will remind you to pay your health insurance on time. He loads in a trailer great. (If you can catch him or screw it, just run him in and he loads right up) He loves horse treats (will take them with or without chunks of your hand.)…
“Don’t miss out on this amazing opportunity to show the world your as crazy as people think you are!!
“Free bottle of tequila with purchase! ! (You will need it)…”
