DescriptionMary and Robert, siblings from Taylorsville, discuss their time with Rocky Mountain horses. Mary had taken the family farm and Robert moved back to the area in 2009 to help with the farm. Mary talks about showing Rocky Mountain Horses and how they moved to doing trail rides on the farm. She also tells the history of the breed and the importance of registering horses to preserve the breed bloodlines. She is a big believer of breeding to improve the breed, but does not see the big deal about the color. Robert discusses how he has learned from each horse and how there are a lot of things to learn. Robert talks about how the younger generation comes up with new ideas to keep the breed going.
