Ma kēia ʻatikala, e ʻimi mākou i ka mōʻaukala o ka pua, kona hoʻomohala ʻana, a me kona kaulana a me ka mālama ʻana i kēia manawa.

ʻO ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi Sepania i hōʻea i ʻAmelika i ke kenekulia 16, ua lawe pū me lākou i nā lio e lilo i kumu no nā ʻano ʻAmelika he nui. ʻAʻole ʻokoʻa ka Rocky Mountain Horse, no ka mea, ua manaʻo ʻia aia kekahi mana Sepania i kona mau koko. ʻO nā lio Sepania i lawe ʻia mai, ua ʻike ʻia no ko lākou hoʻomanawanui, ka ikaika, a me ka ʻeleu, ʻo ia nā ʻano a pau i hōʻike ʻia e ka Lio Mauna Pōhaku.
Nā Lio Lio Hoʻokumu
I ka waena o ke kenekulia 20, ua hoʻomaka ʻo Sam Tuttle e hoʻohua i nā Lio Mauna Pōhaku e hoʻonui i ko lākou ʻano. Ua hoʻohana ʻo ia i ʻelua mau lio, ʻo Tobe a me Old Tobe, i kumu no kāna papahana hānai. Ua ʻike ʻia kēia mau lio no ko lākou hele ʻana maʻemaʻe, mālie ke ʻano, a me ka versatility, ua lilo ia mau mea āpau i nā hiʻohiʻona o ka ʻano.
Hoʻomohala ʻana i ka Lai

ʻIke ʻia ka Lio Mauna Pōhaku no kona hele wāwae ʻehā ʻehā, ʻo ia hoʻi ka "wāwae hoʻokahi." He ʻoluʻolu kēia hele ʻana no ka poʻe holo lio, e kaulana ai ka ʻano i waena o ka poʻe hauʻoli i ka holo lōʻihi. Ua ʻike ʻia ʻo Rocky Mountain Horses no ko lākou ʻano mālie a me ka versatility. He naʻauao lākou a maʻalahi hoʻi e hoʻomaʻamaʻa, e kūpono iā lākou no nā ʻano hoʻopaʻa holo lio.

Ua ʻike ʻia ka ʻohana ma ke apo hōʻikeʻike, me ka Rocky Mountain Horses e hoʻokūkū nei i ka lole a me nā ʻoihana ʻē aʻe.
Mālama i ka Laha
Ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo Rocky Mountain Horse he ʻano kakaʻikahi, a ke hoʻoikaika ʻia nei ka mālama ʻana i kona ʻano genetic. Paipai ʻia nā Breeders e mālama i nā hiʻohiʻona kūʻokoʻa o ka pua me ka hōʻoia pū ʻana i ka ʻokoʻa genetic. Nui nā hui a me nā papa inoa e hana nei e mālama i ka pua, e like me ka Rocky Mountain Horse Association a me ka Kentucky Mountain Saddle Horse Association.

ʻO ka Rocky Mountain Horse Association ka papa inoa mua no ka pua, a hana ia e hoʻolaha a mālama i nā ʻano kūʻokoʻa o ka pua. ʻO ka Kentucky Mountain Saddle Horse Association kahi papa inoa ʻē aʻe e hoʻolaha ana i ka pua a me kona ʻano maʻalahi. Aia kekahi mau hui kūloko e hoʻolaha i ka pua ma nā wahi kikoʻī, e like me ka Rocky Mountain Horse Association o Michigan.

I ka loaʻa ʻana o ka kaulana o ka pua, e lilo ia i ʻāpana koʻikoʻi o ka moʻomeheu equestrian ʻAmelika.
