Welcome to our new website for our new location!  We're in the process of moving
to our new facility in Eckert, Colorado (just a few miles south of our current farm).  

We have been involved with the breeding, training, showing and sales of Rocky
Mountain Horses since 2001.  Our central herd is mostly the chocolate body color
with a lighter mane and tail.  The horses are also registered with KMSHA, and
AGMA (an offshoot of the United Mountain Horse showing association).  We've
created a herd of horses with great genetics, as we've really worked to match our
mares with many top stallions in the breed.  

I do all of the handling and training of horses at our farm (Bob rides only
occasionally), and have had to learn about gaited horses from the ground up!!  
We've had Rockies since 2001, and have come a long way with them. I've only had
a handful of lessons from gaited horse trainers in this time, which helped me in my
refinement.  Our horses are really shining these days!!  I really enjoy showing as it
helps me prove what I've done with the horses, but I also love trail riding, and doing
things liked judged trail trials (trail rides with judged obstacles on the course).  
These horses are FUN and they're also very dependable.  Even the younger horses
seem to have a maturity beyond their physical years.  They are a must if you're
looking for a gentle horse with a smooth ride!!

Color Ride on the Grand Mesa, 9/2008
This area is referred to at the "Gateway to
the Grand Mesa", and it's definately a
beautiful place to live.  Visitors are always
welcome to see our horses, and take a test
ride on the trail as well!   We have access to
the trails on the Grand Mesa to our north
(15-20 minute drive), the "Adobes" in the
Delta area (again, only 15-20 minute drive).  
We also have great areas of the BLM such
as "Escalante Canyon" and "Pleasure Park"
near Hotchkiss.  These trails range from
mountain areas to more hilly and desert
areas.  It's all great training for our horses.

Rocky Mountain Horse Breed Characteristics
These horses must have a smooth (even 4-beat) gait, good conformation, and a gentle temperament.  
This breed is of a medium build, with sturdy bone structure, large chest, and sloping shoulder and
hip (for extension in gait).  Horses range in height from 14.2 to 16 hands, and can have any solid
body color (the chocolate body color and lighter mane and tail being more "fashionable").  The
KMSHA allows horses that are smaller to be registered.
A "Certified to Breed" mountain horse will have a gold seal on their registration document, which
means that they can participate in breed shows, and their offspring can be registered in the
association. The gait these horses possess is a very smooth, ambling four-beat gait (lateral).  The gait
is natural in the horses, however it can be influenced by conformation and a rider's ability in the
saddle, so taking lessons with the folks you buy a horse from is very important, so you know how to
get the best ride out of your horse.  
The mountain horses make wonderful family additions, and are great on the trail.  Once you ride
one, you'll be hooked!!   We've found that these horses have very quick minds, and are quite easy to
train.  They really are a "people oriented"  horse, that can be your best friend!
