Registered All-Rounder Palomino QH Gelding
This post is one I have put off making for the past few years, but reality is I simply don't use him enough to warrant keeping him. 14.3hh 8 year old Palomino Quarterhorse gelding. #Q-91030. By Guys First Down Fame out of a Morn Deck bred mare. Guys First Down Fame (Reno) is the only imported Frenchmans Guy/Dash Ta Fame sire to stand on Australian soil with progeny in the US and Aus competing successfully in barrel racing, roping, cow events, challenges and campdrafting.

Social butterfly in the paddock who loves a play with his buddies but will also be seen happily grazing on his own. I have owned Rocky since he was 2 so this is not an easy decision. He is my fun and safe reliable but I ha...
