Launch That Rocket

2015 Roan Gelding 15.2HH

My wife Heather and I bought Rocket 2 years ago from breeder Al Fenton and hoped to keep him to ride and break him to drive with our other gelding. Life got in the way and we are selling both geldings.

 Rocket has a great personality. He sees everything that is going on and runs to the fence for a rub whenever he notices you, super easy to catch. I have ridden him only a few times due to my health issues and family challenges. 

 He was ranch raised and used by Al at the Fenton Hereford Ranch near Irma as a 4 and 5 year old.

Because I am unable to ride anymore I have tried to keep him busy and gaining experience.

He spent 2 months last summer at the Fairholme Community Pasture in Saskatchewan ridden by ranch hand and trainer Kolten Dorval under the watchful eye of manager Ron Smith. He was used daily to check and treat cattle. Rocket will head and heel, stand while tied off for treating and when at the pasture he was saddled, barned and trailered to work around the facility regularly.

He has also spent a month last fall with trainer Layne Inglis and Layne has him again this spring using him for pasture work. Layne will be showing him at this sale.

When at home Rocket comes into the barn, finds his tie-stall and will stand patiently overnight. He has been barned virtually every night this past winter.

Besides being very pretty to look at he is one of the nicest horses I have ever owned. Whoever buys him will get a Gem.
