Rocky Mountain Trotter's are a rare and stunning breed. Every horse in the breed links back to a single stud and brood mare. Wave the stud, who was a Quarter Horse and Rocky Mountain Horse mix and Pepper, who was a Missouri Fox Trotter. The two horses were owned by a farmer who bred them and realized their traits made them good pack horses for carrying boxes and gear up the Mountains as well and good trail horses thanks to their Rocky mountain horse and Fox Trotter heritage. He also found that almost all of their foals had the ability to perform the "single footed" Gait and the "Fox Trot" Gait.
Unfortunately after owning the farm and the horses for several decades the farmer went bankrupt and was forced to sell his horses.
They are well known for their lateral gait's, caused by their bloodline connection with the Missouri Fox Trotter & Rocky Mountain horse.
Rocky Mountain Trotter's are found in every color, but most commonly in bay varieties. They range in height from 13-17 hands, but are often found between 15.2-17 hands. These horses are also known for their muscles and willingness to work, making them good on trails. Rocky Mountain Trotters have also grown a tendency to be curious, making them even better in the bigger world.
The breed has grown to the point where there are hundreds of horses in the world now, instead of just a couple dozen.
But as the breed grows inbreeding, and cross breeding is becoming more and more common. Along side wild populations starting to pop up in the wilds or for that matter in low populated cities and towns. So the state of Colorado has devised a plan to keep the breed widespread, maintained, safe, & whilst still preserving the breed.
They have created the RMT Re-homing Act. The RMT re-homing Act acts as a way to limit the population while keeping the breed healthy and striving! Breeding is regulated, having to first be approved by the council of the RMT Association. Any tamed RMT's needing to be re-homed will be brought to the RMTA's Stable site, where they will wait for new adopters to take them home. Along side the tame horses at RMTA's Stable any wild RMT's brought in via round-up programs or by the cops/animal control will under-go a training, while waiting for a new home.
So what are you waiting for? I’m sure among all these beautiful studs, mares, and foals there's one for you!
