ADVOCACY AND COLLABORATION

As the Rocky Mountain Horse Association approaches 40 years of rich history, the Rocky Mountain breed stands at an unfortunate crossroads. While breeder numbers continue to decline so do the number of horses in existence. Did you know we are projected to lose approximately 40% of our registered Rockies in the next decade due to age? To avert this crisis, we must aim to produce approximately 1,036 foals annually, yet the past decade has seen an average of less than 500 foals per year. This stark shortfall along with the decrease in breeders underscores the urgent need for collaborative action.

To achieve worldwide recognition of the Rocky Mountain Horse and to preserve the breed that we cherish, we must grow our collaborative efforts. We invite those who share our passion to join us in bringing the Rocky Mountain Horse into the global spotlight.
