Billy the Kid is his name and he may not be the fastest horse in the west but boy he sure is FUN!! First of all, if you are looking for that lazy, kick along all day horse, Billy is not the horse for you. But, if you like a fun horse that likes to move out and is SMOOTH SMOOTH SMOOTH, keep reading!!
Billy is a 9 yr old Kentucky Mountain Saddle Horse gelding that stands 15hh and has the body of a draft cross. I mean, this guy is STOUT!! Billy came from a lady in eastern Kentucky who trail rode Billy all over and even hauled him to multiple long distance endurance rides and did great. Billy has nice manners and handles like a dream. He isn’t any trouble to clip, bathe or groom. He tacks up easily and stands to mount. Like I said earlier, Billy is forward but a very controllable forward. He will walk if asked but LOVES to move on out. He is like one of these new vehicles with the 8-10 speed transmissions. He can do about any gait at any speed. He will walk and shake down low, slow rack and really move out racking up to 15-16 mph and everything in between. Billy isn’t spooky and will ride out with or without company. He is very confident and LOVES his job! He does prefer to lead but will ride in the middle or back of a group. Billy is great on the trails and we have had him camping 4 or 5 times since being here. Dillion and I are always fussing about who gets to ride him because you can’t beat him on the trail. Billy will go anywhere and can go all day and never run out of gas, which means you don’t get worn out from kicking and pedaling on an all day ride. He will cross any type of water, fallen trees and slippery rocks. He is traffic and ATV safe and great around other livestock and wildlife. If you are looking for a horse you can have a ball of fun with and look good doing it, Billy the Kid may be just the horse for you!! Please feel free to call or text with any questions. :)

Auto Bidding:
Auto-bidding is available and is very easy to do! To place an auto-bid, instead of bidding the minimum $200 increment, simply enter the amount of your maximum bid (max bid). Doing this will automatically keep you $200 above everyone else until your max bid is reached or the auction ends, whichever comes first. You may also increase your max bid at any time without your current bid being affected. In the event that your max bid is reached and you are outbid, you will receive a text message letting you know that you have been outbid. This text will include a link for you to use to place a higher bid.
Buyers Premium:
Starting March 6, 2022 we will be implementing a 3% Buyers Premium on all sales.
Buy It Now:
Magic Horse Auction now offers a Buy It Now (BIN) feature on some horses. This feature allows buyers to purchase a horse now and not have to wait until the end of an auction. Our Buy It Now (BIN) option is only available at the sellers discretion. If the seller offers a Buy It Now, a bidder can purchase that horse immediately at a price set by the seller. When the “Buy It Now” button is hit and confirmed, the auction ends immediately and the bidder who activated the BIN is responsible for payment within 48 hrs of activation of BIN.
The “Buy It Now” option will be removed 24 hrs prior to the close of the auction, unless otherwise specified.
Time Addition:
Please be aware that if a bid is placed within 4 minutes of the close of the auction, an additional 2 minutes will be added to the clock to give any other bidders time to place their last minute bid as well. This will continue each time a bid is placed until 2 minutes has gone by with no new bids, at which time the auction will officially close.
Non Payment Fee:
Winning Auction payment arrangements MUST be made within 48 hrs of end of auction. There will be a $1000 non payment fee charged to the credit card on file of any winning bidder found to be in default. This also applies in the event of a bidder defaulting using the Buy It Now feature.
