Tall(ish), Dark & Handsome — and Still Looking for LOVE Next in our Parade of Adoptables is a young heartthrob with movie-star looks and Mustang charm:
If you’ve ever dreamed of a Mustang with the striking looks of a Friesian, Onyx might just be your guy. He’s sleek, smart, and oh-so-handsome — the kind of horse who turns heads and steals hearts. 
Onyx recently completed the 2025 Dakota Showdown Horse Trainer Challenge, where he worked with trainer Jay Westerbur and made incredible progress — but despite his glow-up, his perfect match didn’t come along just yet.
So now, he’s back with us and still looking for The One. 
Here’s what this dark and dashing gelding brings to the table:
Easy to catch and halter Leads well, stands for grooming Good with fly spray Loads in a trailer Gives front feet (still gaining confidence with hinds) Playful, curious, and loves to learn Even knows tricks like “pick up”! Working confidently in the round penOnyx is a young horse with a big heart. He leans on his person for confidence and is searching for someone who believes in partnership, patience, and potential. With the right human, this boy is going to shine.
He didn’t find his home at the Showdown — but maybe that’s because he was waiting for you.
