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,
