The desired Rockies are chocolate with flaxen mane and tail. They can be other colors, but they can't have any white markings on their body above the knee. Appy colored couldn't be registered..I've seen black and light brown rockies but the ones most people associate with the breed are like Waylon. His mane and tail are darker than when I bought him.

I had to go to Kentucky to get him, not many of them up here in Ohio.

He is the smoothest gaited horse,it feels like your in a rocking chair. I love him. My only regret is that I didn't follow my dream yrs ago. I'm in my late 50's (feel like 35) and am playing catch up

I do associate that coloring with Rockies now!

OK - Maybe there's another gaited breed that can be spotted.. or maybe I saw an unusual cross. Or maybe I am confused. Wouldn't be the first time. ;~D

Don't beat yourself up over mistakes made, we all make them. Advice about horses is all over the board, and no one's advice works for everyone. You have the best basic requirement down 'pat' already, the desire to do the right thing.
