Breeding - Standing at Stud, VBF's I Be Smokin'

Interested in breeding your mare to our triple registered stallion, VBF's I Be Smokin'?

We offer our stallion at stud by private treaty. Please contact us at 406-458-8775 or darcie@rockiesintherockies.com to discuss breeding your mare. Take advantage of being among the first to breed with this incredibly beautiful, gaited, and well-mannered Rocky Mountain, Kentucky Mountain, and American Gaited Horse.

He is so gentle, he was our first pick for horseback rides for the kids at a birthday party. His braids alone are three feet long. He is very natural gaited as well, and is a pleasure to ride. Even young riders are motivated to learn with such a well-bred stallion.

Comments from our trainer, Cheryl Burt at Equivisions Farm:

"Smokey is one of the most quiet, pleasant well-mannered stallions I have been in the company of. He is the most consistent, natually smooth gaited horses I have had the opportunity to ride. He easily navigates turns and circles while maitaining his smooth gaits on a very casul loose rein and direction changes with fingertip control. He has a pleasant manner and is a pleasure to be around on the ground and under saddle even while being in the company of other mares and geldings."

Besides his gentle temperament and intelligence, Smokey has a fine list of accomplishments, even at such a young age. Before we brought him to Montana this year, we showed him in one small United Mountain Horse show, and the largest of the UMH shows - their world show. Here are the highlights of his winnings during the shows:

Madison County Horse Show, September 9, 2006:

• UMH Open Amateur Trail Pleasure - Reserve Champion

• UMH Stallions Trail Pleasure - Champion

•

We have been riding Smokey on the trails here in Montana, and he is doing great! One of the great things about Rocky Mountain and Kentucky Mountain horses is their versatility. Just because Smokey did well in the show ring doesn't mean he'll be spooky or difficult to ride on the trails. Our experiences with him so far indicate that he notices new things, and is always willing and able to face new challenges. If you point his nose in a particular direction, he'll take you there! We'll keep you posted on new adventures and try to take pictures of some of the interesting places we visit with our trusty stallion, 'Smokey'.

The above video was produced on May 6, 2007. Notice that Shawn is riding bareback, and even when he starts to slip while picking up the hat, Smokey just stood there! In the background there was farming, a dog or two, and mares just behind the camera. If you are looking for an International Grand Champion, a gentle disposition, a beautiful conformation and thick mane and tail, you definitely want to breed to this stallion.
