Officials said Rocky the horse was found wandering in Diamond Fork and no one has claimed him.
They said he appears to be around 5 years old and is about 16 hands tall, adding that he was checked by a vet and appears to be in good health.
"He loads in a trailer easily and appears to have been trained and worked with some," a press release stated. "He’s nice by himself, but because he’s a stallion he’s gotten a little spicy around mares and other horses. Rocky is a good looking horse and needs a forever home."
Officials shared the following auction rules:
