Season 5 Episode 13:
Sally Mixon, Abijah’s on the Backside
Sally Mixon has an Masters in Professional Counseling. She served as Chief Development Officer and Equine Trainer at Acres for Life (One of the largest Mental Health Equine – Experiential Programs in the world) for 5 years and has spent a decade raising awareness of the healing power of horses. She facilitates sessions, and advocates through speaking and fundraising engagements. Sally founded Abijah’s on the Backside in 2020, combining her passions for horse racing (she’s an exercise rider at thoroughbred tracks) and supporting military and first responders. Sally believes it’s more than just racing. It’s about running for a cause; to bring hope, healing, and transformation to all.
The vision of Abijah’s on the Backside is inspired by Sally’s faith, her late friend, Jeff Lukas, and David Burrage who took care of Jeff for 20 years following his famous accident in 1993 with Tobasco Cat.
