HI CAROLANN,
   NICE TO HEAR FROM YOU. AND YOUR RIGHT ROCKIES DO RULE. THE TEMPERMENTS ON
THESE HORSES ARE JUST THE BEST. WE HAVE BEEN RAISING ROCKIES FOR QUITE SOME TIME
NOW. WE HAVE SEVERAL BROOD MARES AND OWN 2 STALLIONS. HERE IN WISCONSIN ROCKIES
ARE NOT WELL KNOWN EITHER. HAVE TO LAUGH SOMETIMES, PEOPLE SAY, YOU RIDE A
GAITED HORSE. THEY HAVE NO CLUE OF WHAT THEY ARE MISSING.
   MY HUSBAND AND I RODE RODEO AND DID SPEED EVENTS ON OTHER BREEDS FOR MANY
MANY YEARS. AND MY BACK CAN'T TAKE THAT ANYMORE. BUT I WAS NOT WILLING TO GIVE
UP RIDING. SO I DID RESEARCH ON THE ROCKIES AND RODE SOME. AND NOW WE HAVE MORE
THAN WE NEED.
   I JUST GOT A COLT THAT IS 2 YRS OLD. HE HAD NOT BEEN HANDLED AT ALL. I LET
HIM SETTLE IN FOR A FEW DAYS AND THEN STARTED HANDLING HIM. HE IS JUST A DOLL.
AFTER JUST A FEW TIMES OF MESSING WITH HIM. HE STANDS TIED, I GROOM HIM WITH NO
FUSS AND PICK HIS FEET, AND EVEN TOOK THE ELECTRIC CLIPPER TO HIS BRIDLE PATH.
WHAT A TEMPERMENT. HE IS A LITTLE NIPPY BECAUSE HE IS A COLT. BUT HE WILL QUIT
THAT IN TIME. HE IS FROM THE OLD TIME FOUNDATION STOCK WHICH I WANT TO KEEP
GOING. HE IS WHAT THEY CALL A SILVER BUCKSKIN. I CAN HARDLY WAIT FOR HIM TO SHE
OUT HIS WINTER HAIR.
HIS NAME IS ARGENTO.
   OUR OTHER STALLION IS CHOCOLATE WITH A FLAXEN MANE AND TAIL. HE IS OUT OF
DIAMOND DOCK WHO IS A 3 TIME WORLD CHAMPION THREE YEARS IN A ROW.  HIS NAME IS
IC DIAMONDS. HE IS 15.1 HANDS AND STUNNING TO LOOK AT. WE WILL TRY TO SHOW HIM
THIS YEAR. ( MONEY PERMITTING ) GET SOME OF HIS BABIES ON THE GROUND. HE IS A
VERY EASY STALLION TO WORK WITH AND RIDE ALSO.
   LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU.
BONNIE

Hello everyone, my name is Carolann. I live in Arkansas. I got my First Rocky
Mountain Horse about three years ago & for me there is no other breed of
horse!!!!!
I am glad to have found a place to talk about our great horses.Rockies are not
well know here in Arkansas, so I don't have many people to talk to about them.
Have a great week everyone. I am looking forward to hear from someone.

ROCKIES RULE !!
