Rocky MOuntain horses

 The Rocky Mountain Horse breed originated in Eastern Kentucky in the late 1800s through the breeding of a legendary gaited stallion from the Rocky Mountain region to mares from the Appalachian region of Kentucky, almost a hundred years before the Rocky Mountain Horse Association® (RMHA), the registry for the breed was created. All gaited American equine breeds have a shared early history. The RMHA was formed in 1978 to preserve the unique bloodlines of the Rocky Mountain Horse and promote the versatility of this wonderful breed. The breed is recognized by The Livestock Conservancy® as an endangered heritage equine breed and is classified as threatened due to the number of registrations each year (<500). Because the breeding herd is small, responsible breeders pay close attention to maintaining diverse blood lines and monitoring for hereditary health concerns that could impact on the long-term well-being of the breed. 

 We purchased Fury because he possessed all the traits Rockies are known for, and he passes his gait, conformation, beauty, temperament, athleticism and intelligence on to his offspring. A joy to ride, easy to handle, living at pasture with his mares and foals... he has been our herd sire since 2006. We love seeing how happy his offspring, across the US and in several other countries, make their owners. Let Fury show you the signature Rocky Mountain Gait.

We are lifetime members of the RMHA and have promoted the Rocky Mountain Horse through the production and sales of animals representative of the breed's historic type since 2006. We believe breeding for sound conformation, correct gait, gentle temperament, athletic potential and intelligence is key to maintaining the long-term health of each animal, the satisfaction of each purchaser, and the maintenance of this breed into the future.

Our stallion and our mares were chosen based on these traits and goals and for their complimentary and diverse genetic lines and sound health. We only produce 2-3 foals each year with the goal of conserving traditional Rocky Mountain Horse breed characteristics. 

 Fury stands happily here in Central Illinois, living at pasture with his mares and foals year-round. He has enjoyed this lifestyle for the past 14 years. We do not contract for outside breedings and only sell his offspring by private treaty.
