Rocky Road is a true standout in his ability to switch gears between English and Western riding styles. Whether you prefer English riding, Western, or even bareback , he's ready to impress you with his skills in both disciplines. His primary focus has been as an "all-arounder." He is newer to the jumping aspect of English riding, but he has been nothing but willing. Our little 10-year old rider gets on and jumps him. Rocky widened his horizons even more than we ever thought possible and went cross-country! To top it off, he even put on his swim trunks and got his toes in the water at the beach. Our little 7 year old rider even took him for a walk down the beach. He is truly ready for any challenge. From precise transitions to graceful movements and great jumping style, he's got the poise and elegance that will make any English rider proud. Dont count him out in the Western arena; this has been his primary discipline, and this gelding can cowboy up with the best of them. His smooth gaits and responsive cues make him a pleasure to ride in a Western saddle. Trail rides are where Rocky really gets to show off his true colors. With a love for exploring and a knack for navigating different terrains, he's the perfect partner to discover the great outdoors with family and friends. Riding in a group? No problem for this sociable gelding. He's a team player through and through, happy to trot alongside his fellow riders with ease. Whether you're leading the pack or bringing up the rear, this gelding is always up for the task ahead. Rocky's willingness and great disposition make him a standout. If you're someone looking to ride for pleasure, hit the trails, join a lesson program, or build your confidence, this gelding ticks all the boxes. His versatility and gentle nature make him a valuable addition to any riding program. Ties and cross-ties. No vices. I could go on and on about this horse. He is a true gentleman and eager to please.
