My Experience With The Breed.

Scene 15 (3m 9s)

I've had rocky mountain horses since I was 8 years old. My first Rocky Mountain was named Tea Rose that I got in 2011; who I showed till I was 10 years old and she taught me to ride. Since then I've had a ton of them go in and out of my barn. The first picture is of me getting her ready for our first trail ride ever. I was only 8 and she was only 3! The second photo is of us at our first big horse show!.

Scene 16 (3m 32s)

Since then I've had a ton of them go in and out my barn. I continue to show them to this day. As of right now I have 4 Rocky Mountains that I own and 5 others that I also train. All of the horses pictured are of horses I showed and trained this year! Two of them also won their grand chamionships.

Scene 17 (3m 53s)

These horses are everything they were talked up to be. From being sure footed and having a load of stamina. They are so intelligent, beautiful, smart, with an astonishing smooth gait to spare..
