About Us
Rockin' Double J Farm is owned and operated by Jim and Judy Mezzanotte. We began our operation eleven years ago when our passion for riding developed into a passion for mountain horses. They are truly addictive! Rocky and Kentucky Mountain Horses are calm and loving horses that have earned a special place in our hearts. It started with each of us getting a personal horse. We now average 20 to 30 horses.
We are truly a family business: with the day-to-day operations being handled by Judy; the breeding operation being handled by Jim; the marketing being handled by our daughter, Karen; the training and riding being done by our grand-daughter, Cheyenne; and farm responsibilites being handled by our grandson, Christopher. We hope that this is the beginning of a family business to be handed down through generations.
Due to the relatively small size of our farm, we are able to maintain daily contact with our horses. They are led to and from the pastures each day. Their grooming is started at an early age, as well as farrier and veterinary care. For these reasons, once it is time to put them under saddle, the trust and confidence they possess makes it a very easy transition for them.
We have practiced very intentional breeding practices in order to produce horses of excellence. While some of our breeding has been targeted at producing "show" quality horses, most of our breeding has been done with the intent of producing a good, sturdy, calm, well gaited and attractive trail horse. The trail horse seems to be the type of horse the majority of people are looking for. All of our horses are beautiful and possess that wonderful temperament which has become their trademark. Many of our horses have been featured on magazine covers and horse calendars. Our stallions' bloodlines go back to Dock, Kilburn's Chocolate Sundown, Sam Clemon's Tim, Choco, Yankee, Sewell's Sam, Buddy Roe, Storm Warning and Tom's Pride.
