About Rocky Mountain Horses

Rocky Mountain Horses were developed in the 1800’s in the Kentucky, US. Rocky Mountain horses have a brown shaded coat with lots of shine to their frames, making them simple to recognize. They are  a very stable-yet-surefooted horse with a unique four feet gait and a long bushy tail. Many farmers found great joy in owning one or two Rocky Mountain Horses so that they could easily utilize their strength for pulling plows and helping on the farm. One gentleman in particular, Sam Tuttle, is noted for his Old Tobe, which was a stallion that went on to become quite the champion for the southwest. Once the word got out that they could be used for climbing the mountain sides with ease and as farm hands, their popularity rapidly increased. They are currently still a popular breed all over the United States.  

Rocky Mountain Horses stands at around fifteen hands tall. They have a beautiful look to them with features such as sloping shoulders, neat ears, strong quarters, and thin-but-powerful legs. Their eyes have an uncommon look when compared to other horse breeds.
