Rockets Elite Gold & Bit Two Smokin - picture by Century Classic Photography |
As mentioned on Rocket's page, because he posesses the creme gene and is also homozygous
for the black gene, Rocket can sire buckskin, black, smoky black, perlino, smoky cream and bay foals. He
can not sire any red-based foals - sorrels, chestnuts, red duns, cremellos or palominos, regardless of the color of the
mare. But, if the mare posesses any color modifiers that Rocket doesn't have (dun, roan, gray, Paint
or pinto) then the foal may also inherit those characteristics.
Rocket has sired a total of 85 foals - 47 fillies and 38 colts.
Out of those 85, there are 24 buckskins, 10 duns, 7 dunskins, 28 bays, 3 perlino, 3
brown, 5 black, 2 blue roan and 3 grey (out of a grey mares). Included in those are 11
Paint/Pinto babies ~ 4 of which were solid, 5 tobiano and 2 overo. (See colors of all mares on
the'Color Genetics & Links' page)
Rocket's offspring have his great qualities and wonderful temperament.

loyal horses who make willing, honest partners for life. Some are being used in lesson programs and some
are faithful trail horses.
