Rocky

A rather fine, if stout, pony. Rocky came to us as a young gelding who had lived on a farm with a lot of trees in the pastures. When we led him out into our pastures, he was unused to large open spaces. He tucked himself in under the trees along the edges and it took a while for him to venture out with confidence.

Rocky is curious and rather disdainful of the hotwire fences. If he sees something he wants to investigate on the other side of the fence, he simply lifts up the hotwire and pops under. The rest of the ponies watch this maneuver with awe, but luckily, they have not tried it.

Rocky is stalled next to Korik, our Fjord horse. The two tend to tease each other. Just this morning, I told Rocky, “You know, you two might get on better, if you stopped trying to nip Korik’s nose!” Rocky rolled his eyes at me and totally ignored my advice.

Rocky is trained to pull a cart and he looks quite fine in harness. He is a bay and white pinto from the Timer line and has lovely form and movement.
