"Rocco" Gelding Thoroughbred

Rocco is a 12yr 15.2 Welsh/TB gelding

Rocco has spent the past three years trail riding with his 70yr rider who had an absolute blast with him. Prior to her ownership he was with his breeder who started him at age 6 and developed him into an all around lovely horse. He did some dressage shows, hunter shows, breed shows, learned good horsemanship skills and so much more. She told me all about his parents and siblings many of who she still has in her program. I think horses like this are extremely coveted since they can do a bit of everything and anything. He has all the nice training installed and boy is he fun to ride!

He came in missing a shoe which we finally got back on today. He had some heavy road shoes with big borium for trail riding so he should be moving even better here soon! He got clipped up and turned back into a fancy english horse :)

I am sure it has been a bit since he was asked to use all his parts in the way that we are reminding him but good lord he is just the cutest fanciest thing! He is honestly way fancier than I expected which is always a pleasant surprise. He is quite with a good brain but also very sporty and athletic. This isn't what I call a huntery type but he will clean up eventing/jumpers/dressage/hunting/trails/etc. He has a ton of mileage doing all the things which makes him a really fun versatile horse. I don't think he is a dead beginner type simply because he is pretty well trained with a lot of gears which sometimes can get pushed by beginner riders.

Obviously it has been three years since he jumped but he is honest, sensible and willing. He doesn't always get it right but he also doesn't seem to care when it goes less that perfect which is a quality that I truly appreciate in a horse. Yesterday he gotten ridden in the cold rain for his first ride and was fantastic for his first ride here.

He appears very sound. Excellent feet which good high compliments from my farrier. No vices. No injuries.
