Show Name: “Rock Star”

Early 20’s Chestnut TB gelding

 

Rocky is a tried and true gelding that is useful in so many different ways. He has taught so many riders and has years of experience. Rocky has a long history of showing jumpers & hunters. Generally speaking he is not as forward as some of our other TBs, so he is useful for those who need a steady and calm ride. He is mostly used now for less advanced riders and trails. Rocky is so valuable as a lesson horse that we try to limit his jumping, but whenever you remind him of his past he will step up to the plate!

 

Rocky is an amazing older gentleman who takes care of his rider. His mouth is pretty sensitive and he will throw his head of you get him in the mouth at all over fences or sharply on the flat. Over the 08-09 winter, he was great helping me become a more stable and cofident rider. He gets much more energetic over the winter and can be shown in low jumper's with the right horse/rider combination. He was a successful jumper with Uncle Billy a few years ago in his prime.

Rocky is possibly the BEST horse i have EVER ridden. He is calm and safe but still a challenge. Rocky has great barn manners and besidesbeing a bit "rowdy" when the horses are brought in, Rocky is AWESOME! yea I know that this is little repetitious, but i just don't know what i can say about such a great horse! Well here goes (again). Rocky is a great hunter, both jumping and on the flat. From what i hear about his past,Rocky is also a terrific jumper. This horse is great at anything you put his (and your!) mind to, as i found out when we did the "round robin" three-day eventing. Rocky is as perfect as a horse can be. Rockster is a bit more of a challenge for smaller riders, as he is a big boy!!!!                    ~submitted by C.I.T. Laura F. (a.k.a. “Fosto”) in 2008
