Hopkins Mountain Horses is a small family operated farm in central Kansas devoted to promoting and preserving Rocky Mountain Horses in the mid-west.
We are convinced that these beautiful Rocky Mountain Horses are the ideal pleasure breed and family companion. Their laid back temperaments and people oriented attitudes make them charming and always a pleasure to be around. It's this attitude that sets them apart from the gaited other breeds. Their smooth as silk gait is a comfort that is an envy to all others.
We feel blessed to have such wonderful horses in our lives.
We bought our 1st Rocky in 2008, our 2nd in 2010, and then in 2012 we went ROCKY MOUNTAIN HORSE CRAZY!!!

Now we are a leader in the finest GAITED MULES & JACKSTOCK, as well.

QUICKSILVER is the SIRE of Fiji's BEAUTIFUL CHOCOLATE January 2015 foal, a very sweet, beautiful, and tall filly whom we think is a chocolate roan. We will also be choosing an additional mare to breed to this outstanding stallion,
who was 2013 RMHA Reserve High Point 4 yr old Stallion.
While in Kentucky we had the pleasure of experiencing Quicksilver in person,
and under saddle. He is an absolutely eye popping stallion, a gentleman,
and a WONDERFUL RIDE! We were impressed by his temperament,
and his being as calm and easy to handle and ride as a gelding.
We are proud to announce that we have purchased
Rea Swan's RMHA International Champion mare,
Nuncio's Chocolate Gala, and she is expecting our
2nd QUICKSILVER FOAL due in 2016!!!

The best feelings comes, though, when we watch her run, play, and GAIT circles around her mommy! This filly is OUTSTANDING!
