Rocky Mountain Horses were developed in the 1800’s in the
Kentucky, US. Rocky Mountain horses have a brown shaded coat with lots of shine
to their frames, making them simple to recognize. They are a very stable-yet-surefooted horse with a
unique four feet gait and a long bushy tail. Many farmers found great joy in
owning one or two Rocky Mountain Horses so that they could easily utilize their
strength for pulling plows and helping on the farm. One gentleman in
particular, Sam Tuttle, is noted for his Old Tobe, which was a stallion that
went on to become quite the champion for the southwest. Once the word got out
that they could be used for climbing the mountain sides with ease and as farm
hands, their popularity rapidly increased. They are currently still a popular
breed all over the United States.

other horse breeds.
