Rock Palace

Updated video! This is truly an exceptional horse.  This combination of a fantastic temperament, beautiful movement, and rideability is hard to find anywhere.  Rock Palace “Rocky” is a 17h 2011 Imported Westphalian Gelding by the well known stallion Rock Forever, sire of Steffen Peters’ Grand Prix mount Rosamunde. Rocky was imported by his current Adult Amateur owner, who successfully showed him Training level with scores in the 70’s in 2017. Mid-2018, Rocky went to a professional who showed him First level with ease never scoring under 70%, with scores of 74% and 76%. In April 2019 Rocky made his Second level debut with scores over 70% including a score of 73.3% earning him the show Open Highpoint Award. At home he is schooling all 3rd level work including lead changes. This horse has supple elastic movement in all 3 gaits, fluid and correct with lots of expression. His temperament on the ground is phenomenal and is very easy to manage at home or away. Under saddle Rocky is light and forward, and a lot of fun to ride! In his current professional training program, this horse has been incredibly willing and easy to bring along.  He would be an amazing horse for a professional or for an ambitious experienced young rider or adult amateur in a training program. He has also been ridden occasionally by an experienced junior rider while in our barn. He is shown with no special prep, no lunging. Rare mix of a lap dog temperament in an FEI quality horse! Priced at $75,000. Located in Placerville, Ca (near Sacramento).
