Before May comes to an end, we have one more birthday to share. I’m actually quite late on this birthday, but time and days got away from me.
Two years ago, a big, beautiful grey stepped off a trailer and became part of The Rock family. As we don’t know Chevy’s exact birthdate, his birthday is also his arrival date, May 21.
Since coming to The Rock, Chevy has captured hearts, which is easy to do when you are ridiculously tall (18h) and stand out above the crowd. He’s also proven to be as spirited as his name (Cheveyo) would have you believe. Because of this majestic charisma that radiates from those big hooves, he’s obtained a lot of fans. He may not be my grey, but he’s definitely in my top three of favorite greys.
I wanted to write a post that truly encapsulates the enigma that is Cheveyo ‘Smalls’, the Gentle Giant of Courage Rock, but what can you say? Looking at him says so much. He’s big and strong. He’s laid back but can also be quite ornery with play time (which he sometimes confuses with farrier day). He’s content just moseying along and grazing on his grass. Just being in his presence elopes you with awe as you feel the power a horse’s presence entails. He’s just Chevy, and I can’t possibly say anything other than that.
If you would like to show Chevy some birthday/anniversary love, you can find his wishlist below. You can also use this wishlist to show your love for whichever Rock horse is your favorite.
