Welcome To Coop's Rockies Farm Coop’s Rockies is a small Rocky Mountain horse farm committed to the preservation and advancement of this rare breed. We are located in North Central Kentucky, nestled between Louisville and Lexington, in Shelbyville KY. Our focus is raising registered Rocky Mountain horses. We breed old bloodlines, striving for horses displaying a natural 4-beat gait, good conformation and the gentle loving temperament Rocky Mountain horses are known for. We are proud of our breeding stock. Our broodmares are descendants of “Kilburn’s Chocolate Sundown”, “Sewell’s Sam”, “Sam Clemon’s Tim” and “Yankee”. Visit our Stallion page to meet “Coop’s Freedom”, our five year old Black stallion. His color DNA tested negative for red & bay gene. Freedom's temperament and gait totally exhibit the traits found in Rocky Mountain horses. His pedigree includes four of the five sons’ of “TOBE”. “Kilburn’s Chocolate Sundown”, “Maple’s Squirrel”, “Sam Clemon’s Tim”, and “Yankee”. Watch for Coop’s Freedom this season in the show ring. Our horses are color DNA tested to to aid in breeding for certain colors. Three of our broodmares are chocolate with flax manes and tails, but also have one copy of the cream gene. No red or bay. Foal color projections can be very interesting. Since we are a small farm, it gives us more time for “hand’s on” attention to our young horses. We “Imprint” each foal at birth. Before they take that first step, we gently rub them all over from head to toe. We have found they are much calmer, have less fear, and in most approach us seeking attention. Coop’s Rockies training method is “Natural Horsemanship”, which begins virtually at birth. Once a foal is up, the training begins. We have found through trial and error that “Natural Horsemanship” works best for us because of it’s fairness and consideration to the horse; allowing them to process information in training sessions without fear of physical punishment. We only correct a horse for being disrespectful, and the correction is virtually the same as an alpha mare. Rocky Mountain horses make wonderful trail horses. The enjoyment Doug and I receive from raising and riding naturally gaited, sure-footed and brave horses is very satisfying. Once you experience the way they respond to rocks, logs, creeks , etc., you'll understand how truly Awesome rockies are. They are naturally good because Rocky Mountain horses were originally bred for riding on trails. We would love to help you find the Rocky Mountain that's right for you. Whether for trail or show, come see us! we'll match you up with your perfect equine partner. Why just ride, when you can glide?
