Dolan Ranch

Rocky Mountain Horse Breeder, Home to Toby's Samson

A farm stuck between Lakeland and Ocala, raising 'old school' foundation type certified Rocky Mountain Horses
Relatively new to the breed, buying my first in 2016, I quickly decided I wanted to help protect the breed to the best of my ability, the Ranch specialises in larger barreled 15hh+ horses with a 'daisy cutter' gait, amazing labrador like temperaments. If you've never met the 'Horse for all

Occasions' and you happen to be in Orlando or Ocala for some reason, let us know, we'd be happy to have you come meet our Stallion Samson and our Mares Latte, Layla and Camille

This graph shows that all of you out there that are riding 13-20 year old Rockies are going to have a hard time replacing them.. birth rates have dropped to 25% of their 2003 levels..

If you have a rocky in ther prime of their life, keep a good relationship with the breeder that horse came from because theyre going to get much much harder to find in the next 10 years..

Even these numbers may be a little high, as several large breeders have left the industry in the last year or two, dropping these numbers even lower..

To all the breeders out there, make sure your foals are registered and if you want a premium, certify them when they come of age,

Starbucks Latte, my personal favorite mare in the barn.. I think I'm alone in that decision, but she does have very smart and very pretty babies.
