The Rocky Mountain Horse
LeafThe Mountain Horse originated in the Appalachian Mountains more than two hundred years ago. Legend has it, around the turn of the century a truly unique young stallion appeared in Eastern Kentucky. The natural characteristics exhibited by this horse carried through to his descendants. Careful and controlled breeding developed a line of horses that ranged from 14.2H to 16H in size, possessed a gentle temperament, and a smooth, lateral four beat gait. Due to the smoothness of its gait and natural endurance; long distances can be covered without the horse or rider becoming fatigued. This factor made the Rocky Mountain Horse the horse of choice for the rugged foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. The horse also proved to be versatile in its use by farmers for plowing fields and working cattle. Today the Rocky Mountain Horse is used as a pleasure horse for trail, shows, and endurance riding. Truly a horse for all seasons, this animal has proven that it is an easy keeper and a wonderful riding horse.
