I have owned Rocky since he was a 5 month old scruffy colt completely unhandled and have spent years moulding him into the horse he is today. He will be 5 in 2026. He has never been rushed and we have taken it slowly and correctly with all aspects of his education. He was backed and riding away nicely last year. We mainly hacked - boxing him up and taking him to the woods or around our land (as well as road work) to expose him to a variety of environments. He went out alone and with others and wasn’t bothered either way. Good with all traffic we saw. He isn’t sharp or stupid - can be forward when out exploring but never naughty. I then turned him away coming into winter as he went a bit bum high again so gave him the winter off.

In the time I have owned him he has done numerous outings including a lot of in hand showing growing up and boxing him to different places and showing him the world. Hes quite a brave bold chap now because of this. He’s quite happy to stable or live out. He will come straight to you in the field. Good to load and travel etc.

I am offering him as he is from the field now before he’s brought back into work in the next month or so. I have been battling with this decision of the past 6 months but a relationship breakdown and having a young daughter has just led me to the decision to take a step back from horses altogether for a while, and although I could keep him in my field, it seems unfair knowing he would stand there wasted when he loves being busy.

He is a young big horse and he deserves a knowledgable home that will continue his education and start his schooling work etc.

The foundations are all there and I have poured my love into him for the past 4 years to ensure they are - so please only good long term homes for him.

If I bring him back into work and continue his education his price will increase. Horses like him don’t come up every day.

I have photos from the day he came off the lorry at 5 months old. I am better on WhatsApp as signal isn’t great where I live.
