I just recently became the owner of a 3 year old RMH gelding. He's super cute, steps level and has a sweet temperament. This makes 5 Rockies for me... I think it's a disease! ;) I can't wait to show him in the Park Pleasure division, which is the highest animation that a Rocky can have. He's 14.2 and needs some groceries, but there was just something when I test rode him that just stuck.

 He's coming home today, I am 45 minutes away so I'm dragging myself away from school to go possibly ride him when I get done with barn chores and soccer. Here is a picture of us when I test rode him:

KMSHA World Show, here I come! I can't wait until he can grow up more, and actually really start using that body.

Congrats! Picture didn't show up for me though :(

Thanks! Here is the photo again:

Pretty!

He's cute -- hope he hasn't been worked too hard, he's just a baby!  These little horses are getting very trendy in the endurance world, it's an interesting phenomenon.  I like them quite a bit, seem like sturdy, fun little horses.  I think it's funny how everyone wants them one colour though, a friend has a pretty bay I quite like!

 That is the sad thing, he was probably started as a long yearling. It's just the school of thought around here. I wouldn't do anything like that, I wait to start mid-summer of their second year, and start them easy. He's been shown at the world show as a two year old, in trail pleasure which is a lower division. Then they found he started moving out more as they rode him, and thus he's classic, though I have been told he may make a park pleasure horse. Unless you buy them young and start them yourself, it's nearly impossible to find them any differently.

 I do like the chocolate horses, I was considering a very cute, very red mare to start under saddle and see if she'd step the same, but this guy just caught my eye. I may still invest in that little mare later on.

Awwww, that is really sad.  Sounds like he has found a good home with you though, glad to hear hear it.

I would love to have a Rocky Mountain horse, and plan to in my later years.  You are very fortunate!  He will be gorgeous with a few more pounds on him.

Wow! Hes awesome! I bet he'll make a beautiful show horse! I want a rocky thats liver chestnut with a super light flaxen mane & tail. Hes got some style in his front end.

In july when I was looking for a horse I wanted a rocky like that but around here they run about 5600.00! I just didnt have that kind of money at the time.
