Rocky
Quarter Horse (25-30 years old) Rocky came to the farm around 2009 after having a successful career as a barrel racing horse. He is a true rockstar of a horse. Gentle, patient, and confident he rules the horses as the leader of this herd. Rocky never lost a race with his rider, a high-school rodeo champ until he had a career ending injury. He was donated to Susanna Farms so he could live out his life still running in the fields and teaching children confidence and patience. He is still able to walk, trot and canter and has been an amazing lesson horse but he can’t do fast turns and has issues with his vision, so we use him for some lesson riders who are more experienced and confident as well as for some fan favorite pony ride events. We will be reducing the amount of his work over the next year or so as we get other horse into the mix. He remains a great horse for groundwork and non-mounted exercises.
