The Secret of a Rocky Mountain Horse
#easygaited #rockymountainhorses #gaitedhorses
Lovely Silver Brown Rocky Mountain Horse, Elsa.
Everyone falls in love with her beautiful temprement and 'pretty pony' looks.
4 years old in September 2025 can't wait to see her hacking out towards the end of the Summer and then planning to breed from her.
Life never goes to plan, was bought with her half sister for the UK and hoped to place her with a new breeder. A year on and just keep delaying the decision to let go.
So she's definately here for the foreseeable.
Why is it so easy to buy Rockies and so difficult to let them go? #horseswithgoodtemprements #gaitedhorses #horsenotforsale #rockymountainhorses

Now both Elsa & Anna will chill until the Spring when they will further their education.

DAY 7. Interesting Fact!
I ve seen many people purchase horses over the last 50 years. Many of us buy what we want and not what we need in a horse only to find out we are over horsed! We buy with our heart ❤️ and not our head.
So next time you purchase DO NOT BUY A ROCKY, unless you require a stunningly beautiful loyal companion that will carry you miles in a soft ambling gait that is easy on your joints and a friend for life.
WARNING ⚠️
This is not a breed of horse it's a way of life and one Rocky will never be enough !
DAY 3. Interesting Fact !
Rocky Mountain Horses are one of a very few breeds that carry a gene that enables them to gait. In addition to our regular paces of walk, trot, canter and gallop with their own unique footfalls we have paces of gait. In gait the RMH moves his legs independently with one foot always on the ground which enables them to travel long distances and reserve energy making them a valuable endurance horse. #gaitedhorse #tenacreequestrian #rockymountainhorse #endurancehorseriding
Beautiful Tiger Elsa, Rocky Mountain Horse.
One I bought in the hope someone would buy to breed with. Carrying the silver gene thought she would make an excellent addition to an amateur home and help promote this gentle breed. Fatal, best laid plans🙈 She's a keeper just couldn't part with her. #rockymountainhorse #tenacreequestrian #tigerelsa
