Rock is our 10 yr old Belgian . Here he is today in the pasture along with his pasture buddy, Lightening. Since he is such a big guy (19 hands 2 inches ) and the largest horse in Western North Carolina according to our Vet. I decided he deserves his very own blog. He arrived at The Farm after Myron saw him at a sale in Abingdon, VA and since he had the name of Myron's first horse Rocky who lived to be 41 yrs old ( Myron owned him for 40 0f those years), Rock had to come home with him. Rock was used to working very hard as a logging horse in Ohio and come to The Farm Haven for horses since they only have to look great for weddings, be photogenic and love people and wedding bouquets!!!! He has eaten his fair share of flowers, kissed numerous brides and babies ...so you might say he is also a politician of sorts. Right now he is posing for pictures with a bride and groom and at some point we will post those pictures on our website. 2 months ago, Zaire used him in a photo shoot for Sophia magazine based in Asheville. He was wonderful and appeared in almost every photo used in the magazine article. You will just have to come see him for yourself to appreciate how very large he is in person.
