(view all 2010 Adopted Thoroughbred)

This grandson of Mr. Prospect is a very well mannered and fun loving horse.  He is a happy horse who simply goes around and does whatever you ask.  Rocket only raced 2 times and was retired in January due to sustaining chips in his knees.  He had surgery in February on both and was given a good prognosis for flat work and some lower level jumping.  Now completely rehabbed Rocket is being schooled on the flat and is doing extremely well.  He would be a fun horse for someone wanting to do dressage or lower level jumpers, he also would be a nice pony club prospect.  He has a good mind, is very willing, and teachable.  He gets along well with his pasture mates, has good ground manners, stands for farrier, bathing, etc….

Rocket’s left eye has a old scar which covers most of the eye.  It has been examined and he does vision but it is limited.  It doesn’t bother him to be handled or ridden.  He doesn’t turn his head or act differently due to the eye.
