🌟For Your Consideration🌟

Ebony Rhocz
(Rhocky Rhoad x Sophia BH)
2018 Black Arabian Gelding

“Rhomey” is an awesome 5-year-old gelding who has numerous local and regional wins in Ranch Riding, Ranch Rail, and Trail. He’s also shown in the Sport Horse ring and won at regionals! He has a great mind and is easy to get along with. He clips, he loads, he bathes, and is on track for a horse his age. He is available to look at and try in Tulsa during U.S. Nationals.

Please contact Jim Hitt (303) 917-4119 for more information.
