by his gaits, elasticity, soft swinging back, and
his confidence in his rider, it was clear already
then that Rocazino loved to work! I knew within 5
minutes of riding him, that if he passed the vetting
he would come back to the States with me. It was
pretty much love at first sight.
Can you tell me about his personality?
How did you come to own him?
When I met Rocazino in the barn he seemed like
a very kind and happy horse, very well behaved,
respectful and confident all at the same time. It
was clear that he thoroughly enjoys human interaction, he is a bit of a ham. He does know how to
strut his stuff too, he definitely is a show off.
I was right about my first assumption about him,
he loves his people! First thing in the morning
after he eats breakfast, he loves to come up and
put his head on my chest and get snuggles. If I
walk by his turnout and don’t greet him, he will
whinny for me (that usually results in carrots for
him). However, show him a competition arena,
and it is game on. Rocazino loves to work, he
never says no, always looking to please his rider.
I was in Denmark looking for an M level horse.
I stumbled across Rocazino’s ad online and
decided to take a look at
him, even though I was not
looking for a four year old
stallion, and the ad only
had a couple of photos and
no video, there was just
something about him.
How did you decide he
was the right horse for
you?
Rocazino was the first
horse I looked at on this
trip, and I kept comparing
all the following horses
to him. I found him to be
incredibly attractive and
very much liked the way
he was put together. When
I saw him go I was taken
