Additional Comments:
Rockefeller, or Rocky as he is known, has been my trail riding buddy for two years. In the photo he and I are all the way to the right. He will ride English or Western (I've ridden him in a dressage saddle mostly) and uses a french link snaffle. Prior to my owning him he was a member of the mounted police in New York City where he served as the Sergent's mount for the better part of a decade. Pavement pounding took its toll so now Rocky has arthritis in his front legs and needs to be on joint supplements every day. He also requires wedge pads on his front feet and shoes on all four. When I first purchased Rocky the vet pretty much flunked him in a lameness exam. With hard work, patience, and a lot of trial and error, he is now sound and will stay that way as long as he is cared for properly. This horse will go anywhere.. beaches, trails, roadways, fields, rivers, you name it. About a month ago I showed him at a local FFA show and took the division championship title in adult english. He is extremely well trained but still requires an intermediate rider at the least as he is strong and requires a seasoned leg to support him. Rocky has truly been a pleasure to have and I am beyond sad to re-home him but I feel like I've helped him enough now to where he is ready to go to a home where he can be ridden on the trails and not have to work too hard. He has no vices.. trailers like a gentleman, stands for the farrier, vet and dentist too. He clips and ties like a police horse would-- without issue. He is UTD on feet trimming, teeth floating and all shots, has a current negative coggins and will come with his supplements. I have a million photos of him-- with myself and my four year old son who loves him more than I do even. I also have some short videos for serious inquiries only. Rocky will come with his bridle and some blankets. He has a lot of miles left to hack on the trails and just needs a confident rider to join him. Don't let this beautiful big fella pass you by!
