Missouri Fox Trotting Horse

A Trail Rider's Dream

160 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Missouri Fox Trotting Horse was developed because early Ozark Mountain settlers needed a special horse that was able to handle the rocky, hazardous terrain that they called home. Innovative Ozark horseman developed the ultimate, sure-footed, smooth-riding saddle horse from the laterally-gaited breeds such as the American Saddle Horse, Standardbred, and Tennessee Walking Horse, and crossed them with good, hard-trotting breeds such as the Morgan, Thoroughbred and Arabian horse breeds. These efforts resulted in an extremely comfortable, intelligent, and beautiful horse that was hardy enough for the cattle rancher, yet stylish enough to ride to town with pride. In 1948, The Missouri Fox Trotting Horse Breed Association was formed to preserve this true all-American horse and promote the breed's popularity. Today, there are more than 47,000 registered Fox Trotting Horses found across the United States, Canada and many foreign countries. As pleasure riding continues its rise in popularity, so does the Missouri Fox Trotter.
