The spring and summer of 2008 was a lot of hard work, but playtime included taking riding lessons from Alana, and learning to ride her horse Rocky.

I was thrilled when Alana told me they were considering selling him. He is a big, tall guy but so gentle and "bomb proof" which is what I was looking for. Anyone is safe on Rocky. we joke he is "Like a Rock"

I suppose we are sort of his retirement home after being a school horse for so many years, although he is only ten years old.

I have already had him out on the trails a few times, which I really enjoy; as well as riding him at home and working on my horsemanship. We have even had Frank riding him and I expect a few guests over Christmas as well.
