Watch Ebony as she gives a lesson. She had always had an exquisite gait!
My Husband enjoying an Expo with Ebony; She had power undersaddle
Below is Ebony's first foal, Dragon. She's as well gaited as they come! only 2 weeks with saddle training!
Ebony's Babies! Foals are always robust, correct and healthy. She was the best mare for milk production and teaching her foals respect.

AKA Ebony
Colossus was born in July 2021
Registered and Certified : RMHA
Color: BLACK and barely fades!
Gender: Mare
DOB: 5-22-2003 DOD: 7/19/2022
Height: 14.1 1/2HH; Wide build in a smaller package, great muscling, bone and balance - hard and durable feet! Easy to manage long mane and a very thick TAIL! Included in our program for her large and balanced hind end and minimal white (small star and small coronet) and flawless gait
Genetics: EE, no agouti or silver.
Training: Trained in Colorado at first, then continued with natural horsemanship techniques and foundation. Shows, Expos, trails.
Personality: WHAT A MARE! Down to business undersaddle, Loved to work! She required your resume as a rider but she was a family favorite! Her foals showcase a typical rocky personality and are easily trainable! Her personality was solely her own and was very sweet/trusting with us. We love working with her babies- they are the best!!
"Ebony" (Ebs) was easily one of our best mares. She was our Expo horse that we haul across the country. She rode in arenas and stayed in the stall during our stay very quietly. Ebony had the best gait. It is always 4beat and square ( automatic). She steped up into the next speed from walk and literally zero step into trot (I only saw trot in the pasture, never a pace). Her gait was be rather fast to the inexperienced (also high stepping at times) but once learned it could be handled by the advanced beginner. She cantered off easily as well. She was a powerhouse and fearless on the trail!
We stay in contact with Ebony's breeders and they are very proud the quality being produced & passed on with their program's legacy! Ebony's 22 year old sire (now gelding) and 23 year old dam are providing Rocky Mountain companionship to their original owners in Colorado!
Ebs has foaled 5 times for us and each one is very special. They are easy foals who love people.
Her foals always tend to be larger than herself!
Foals we know and have trained:
Dragon: A filly who 14.3 HH at 3 years, and they can continue to grow until 6 years! Her owners ADORE her!
Tesla: A chocolate filly who was coined as "born broke!" by her owner who started her.
Toki: (14.2+HH @ 3) A tank of a filly who takes after her dam but is the true "born broke" filly! One of the easiest we have ever started.
Morty: An R2 colt by "Cotton" that is 15HH at 2 years old!
Colossus: A HUGE colt by another stud, Legacy! 14.3HH -He is so beautiful and lives in Tennessee
Dark Star: Another HUGE colt by Legacy; Unfortunately Dark Star is resting in peace alongside his dam.
Ode to our Ebony.... We will always remember you! Ebony suffered a catastrophic rupture of her reproductive and digestive system during her last birth and had to be euthanized humanely. The birth was difficult due to an abnormally large foal who also had dystocia that was not able to be corrected as everything appeared normal until it ultimately presented as an immediate emergency to try to save a foal and lose a mare. We humble ourselves with the fact she has a legacy in her offspring. We appreciate every moment we had with Ebony and every foal.
