OUR HISTORY with the ROCKY
McGuire Farms began its history with the Rocky Mountain Horse in 1990 with the purchase of four brood mares. Two of those four were once Sam Tuttle’s prize stock, China Blue and Neace’s Blue Lady. (Sam Tuttle is considered the founding father of the breed.) China Blue was Tuttle’s favorite mare staying with him until he went to a nursing home, and she is buried on our farm. Neace’s Blue Lady was the last living offspring of Tobe and lived 42 years. She enjoyed her retirement here and was buried on the farm in 2012. We studied the genetics and ideals of the foundation horses and with God’s grace, put together a solid and sound breeding program. We began blood-typing for proof of parentage with our first foal crop in 1991, years before it was required.
We strive to produce a horse that has the smoothest natural gait possible, a wonderful calm temperament, a willing disposition, and good conformation using the best bloodlines of our original foundation stock. We are proven breeders striving for continual improvement knowing full well the consistent quality of our stock that we produce and offer for sale. We bred, raised and trained our top stallion, Kentucky Blue, as a direct product of our genetics. Kentucky Blue was ridden as a three year old by Sharon Locke to achieve the honors of 1997 International Grand Champion Under Saddle and Sam Tuttle Award Winner. At that time, only one horse could claim that title for the year. He was retired as an undefeated champion at the age of 3.
McGuire Farms will always have Rocky Mountain Horses. For us, there is no other breed that can compare. We utilize various natural horsemanship methods and often mentally challenge our horses to become comfortable in normally uncomfortable situations. On trails, it is not unusual to encounter wild turkey or deer, but Rocky Mountain horses will usually just "jump in place" if anything due to their EASY NATURE. We currently have about 30 excellent Rocky Mountain Horses. Some offered for sale that may not be on this website. Call for a complete listing of offerings.
The Rocky Mountain Horse,
with old-time bloodlines, temperament, conformation, and natural gait is
IDEAL for Trail!
