Rocco Retired

Rocco is a gorgeous 17.2hh KWPN* Dark Bay Gelding who was on loan to the Light Cavalry for 2 years.

He was used for many parades and due to his patient nature taught many beginners to ride in the school and was also used for hacking. He took part in the BLESMA Parade (pictured above – Rocco is the second horse on the left), British Military Tournament, Blenheim Musical Ride, Lord Mayor’s Show and Royal Windsor Show.

Due to ongoing lameness issues he was retired to The Horse Trust for a more relaxed pace of life and a well deserved rest.

 

*KWPN stands for Koninklijk Warmbloed Paardenstamboek Nederland, which translates to Royal Dutch Warmblood Studbook of the Netherlands in English. It’s a breed registry for warmblood horses known for their athleticism, versatility, and suitability for sports like dressage, show jumping, and eventing. KWPN horses are highly regarded for their quality and performance.
