My special kid got on another plane and returned to his/our home, Texas in 2002. He then started on a serious show profession and more notably, he taught numerous riders lots of skills. His top program honor in the U.S.A. was Reserve National Champion Western Sidesaddle 17 & under with Hannah Sartori in 2007.
His last win to date was at the 2014 Region 9 Champions, making a Top 5 in Path with Sherry Rosser Carroll. Sherry Rosser Carroll is Rocky's bff. She has actually been there for him through thick and thin. This Author and I had another trip out of country from 2008-2011 and decided that it was best to leave Rocky home here in Texas this time.


It was tough to let him go, however I knew I was doing the ideal thing and, more notably, with the right person. During my lack, Rocky continued his winning methods in the show ring and added another discipline to his repertoire, ACTHA trail trips. Rocky enjoyed this time out of the program ring and of course brought house more prizes from these trips! We did come home from our tour in Italy in 2011 and Rocky was still going strong at 18 years old! Sherry & I then became "co-parents" and chose that he would let us know when it was time to head to pasture for his leisure years.
