What is a Missouri Fox Trotter? The Missouri Fox
Trotter Horse originated in Missouri, USA. It was
developed in the Ozark Mountain region as a steady, strong
and smooth "working horse." The terrain is extremely
rugged, the work days were long and whether they were used
as transportation or for cattle work, they put in an honest
days work and kept their rider safe and comfortable.
The fox trot gait appears to be trotting behind and walking
in front. It is a broken tempo trot gait and therefore
there is little to no suspension time between the diagonal
legs, hence the offset transition in stride and the smooth
gait. It's smooth, ground covering gait, along with
it's calm, steady temperament has captured the attention of
folks North of the border for the third decade. We are
proud, as breeders, owners and riders, to present
information about this wonderful, captivating horse that is
presented in the USA as "America's Greatest Trail Horse." |
