Rocky Mountain Pony


Description

		The Rocky Mountain Pony originated from Stout Springs, Kentucky in the Appalachian foothills. Sam Tuttle who had a horse-riding establishment at the National Bridge State Resort Park in Kentucky developed the Rocky Mountain Pony. Sam Tuttle gave visitors horse rides through the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. The stallion that started the Rocky Mountain Pony was Old Tobe, who was noted for his calm disposition, a natural lateral ambling gait, and sure-footedness. He passed these great qualities to his offspring. The Rocky Mountain Pony is related to the Mustang and its Spanish ancestry. Some say there might also be a connection with the Narragansett Pacer. The Rocky Mountain Pony stands on average 14 hh and has a Spanish-like conformation and look. This pony has a fine head, significant pastern length, slender front legs, and strong hind legs with excellent hooves. The quality of the Rocky Mountain Pony ambling gait is extremely important that it can carry its rider comfortably at 7 mph and over rough ground at short distances with speeds up to 16 mph. The Rocky Mountain Pony is very hardy and tolerates winters in the cold mountains well.
