To make purchasing
more affordable and/or convenient for our customers,
Foxvangen Farm is happy to offer terms on any horse
presented for sale. 90 days is the same as cash here
with the horse left here until paid in full. Longer
contracts can be arranged as well. We make every effort
to work with our buyers so the experience of purchasing
a quality Missouri Foxtrotter is pleasant and rewarding.
We do not accept
credit cards at this time, but we do accept Pay Pal
which affords options to buyers such as the use of
their credit card. Foxvangen Farm works hard to match
the right horse to the prospective buyer. In the rare
event someone is not totally happy with their choice
we offer exchanges. We do not offer refunds.
Now is a good
time to purchase. Due to the recession we at Foxvangen
Farm have rolled our prices back to suit the times.
As soon as the lagging economy improves these prices
will go back up considerably. If you see a horse you
like feel free to make an offer. We may not accept
it but then again we may negotiate...it never hurts
to ask! We are not desperate to sell but we are reasonable
enough to try to work with our customers.
If we do not
have just the right horse you are looking for we are
more than happy to try to locate one for you. Please
take time top view the horses listed below.
As you are viewing
the horses available, keep in mind that Foxvangen
Farm breeds quality horses that are attended at birth,
handled daily, and receive only the best of care.
All the horses are vaccinated and wormed regularly.
They receive daily wormer during the warm season.
Our horses see a farrier regularly from the time they
are two weeks of age, and are never harshly treated.
They are fed top quality feed to include daily mineral
supplements and they are not ridden until they are
mature enough that ALL their growth plates in the
legs have closed. We like them to grow up sound and
remain sound and productive well into their twenties.
We do not ride
babies and we do not stress joints. To do so is to
cause early onset arthritis even though any lameness
may not show up for many years. So if you are looking
for fully trained 2 or 3 year olds do not shop here!
We believe in allowing horses time to mature in the
brain and learn to be a horse before learning to be
a to notch riding companion. Our horses are people
loving, gentle and kind. They are bred to gait naturally
and do not pace. We hope you will find a horse on
this page that fits your ideal. Thank YOU for visiting!!

Foxvangen's
Pharaoh
V-86
!!! QUADRUPLE
REGISTERED!!!
FOXVANGEN'S PHARAOH is a blue papered ( could
be gold) Missouri Foxtrotter who is also registered
in the FOUNDATION FOXTROTTER HERITAGE ASSOCIATION
with a V-factor of 86! What that means is he has 11/16
old original foundation blood and is not mostly Tennessee
Walker like so many of the newer type Foxtrotters.
Pharaoh is also registered in the Sabino Horse Registry
International and has been tested as a SB1 Sabino.
Besides all this, Pharaoh is also registered with
the Pleasure Saddle Horse Registry.
Pharaoh's sire is Foxvangen's Braveheart Two,
a lovely liver chestnut stallion now in Germany. Pharaoh's
parents and grandparents have all been DNA'd so his
parentage is truly proven and recorded. His dam is
the lovely Miss Molly Fox who was bred by the late
Rollen Clarkson in his closed band of Foxtrotters.
That breeding program was in production for more than
50 years and produced horses standardized to work
as stock horses while naturally gaiting at the Foxtrot,
flat walk and running walk....no pace. Miss Molly
Fox is also DNA'd which makes Pharaoh eligible for
GOLD PAPERS. In the Foundation Foxtrotter Heritage
Association Pharaoh is also GOLD PAPERED in that he
has been witnessed Foxtrotting at liberty. We know
that many people can make a horse foxtrot if they
know how to ride well enough, but we believe in breeding
NATURAL gaited Foxtrotting horses and Pharaoh is one
of those! In the Pleasure Saddle Horse Registry, Pharaoh
has the distinction of being a foundation sire. Though
we have gelded him he has a few very nice sons and
daughters to his credit. He was gelded because we
also have his brother and grandsire as standing stallions
and really did not need a third from the same blood.
Besides, Pharaoh is too pretty to be only a breeding
stallion. He needs to be bringing pleasure to someone
and out there showing what a fine Foxtrotter he is.
Foxvangen's Pharaoh is one of the prettiest Missouri
Foxtrotters you might hope to see. He is just as pretty
in his personality as he is in his looks too! Pharaoh
is a very willing to please horse with a great retention
level. He has had two months training on him in arena
work and needs to have some trail training yet. He
is well worth putting time and effort into. Pharaoh
comes from a long, distinguished line of Foundation
Foxtrotters who have been doing all manner of ranch
work here in the Ozark Mountains since the early 1800's!
His pedigree is traced back to 1623 and includes a
host of famous, top quality horses who were the best
of the best in each generation all through the annals
of time!
Pharaoh is going to be five years old in October
2009. He stands 14.3 at this time and may yet grow
to 15 hands but he won't go over that. He has a big
hip and a short strong back. His head is one of the
prettiest in the breed and he has a lovely neck and
presence about him. Pharaoh carries a high tail and
sports a luxurious mane. He's definitely an eye stopper.
Pharaoh has good energy though he is not hyper.
He is very affectionate and loves to be doted upon.
He is not spoiled but he truly enjoys his human contact.
In the photo above he had just come home from training
and was a bit leaner than we like them to be.
Pharaoh has good balance, a lot of drive power
and he is athletic. He would make a good versatility
horse, ranch horse, trail buddy or about whatever
a person might want a horse for. He is more in tune
with ladies considering he's never been handled much
by a man but he is kind and responsive to anyone.
Even when he was a stallion he was very easy to manage.
If you are looking for a horse that will catch
the eye, gait naturally and only get better and better
as he gains experience here is your boy!

Foxvangen's
Pagan
V-78
!!! DOUBLE
REGISTERED!!!
Foxvangen's Pagan is a lovely liver chestnut mare
who is a Blue Papered Missouri Foxtrotter. She was
foaled in October of 1998. Her sire went out of production
before DNA was available so he was blood typed. Her
Dam is DNA'd.
Pagan is also registered in the Foundation Foxtrotter
Heritage Association with a V-factor of 78 which means
she is just a hair under 12/16 old foundation blood.
The original blood that started the breed. She has
less than 1/4 Tennessee Walking Horse blood in her.
She is Gold Sealed which means she has been witnessed
foxtrotting at liberty.
Pagan's sire was Wildfire's Socks. Though the
name is rather plain "Fire" was not. He
was one of the most intelligent,naturally gaited horses
we have ever come across. He was bred by the late
Rollen Clarkson, the only man we have come across
who was able to standardize his horses to a type and
have them all foxtrot naturally without need of professional
training. His stock were bred as ranch horses possessed
of great athletic ability. This Fire passed down to
his daughter.
Pagan's dam is Gambler's Jasmine who can be seen
on the mare page of this web site. Jasmine is a true
old time Foxtrotting horse with a ton of rhythm and
a solid build. She passed these qualities along to
her daughter. Pagan is a stout, strong mare even though
she stands only 14.2 hands. Perfect size for most
women. She has an awesome neck and a great hip. When
she fist went into training she started right off
flat walking and foxtrotting naturally. She is not
the fastest horse but she is steady and smooth. She
has shown no spook and will go anywhere she is pointed.
Pagan has a natural head nod and carries a big tail.
The photos below were taken when she had been ridden
only two weeks. She is a natural and will just get
better with use.
Pagan has a blemish on one hind leg where she
tangled with a wire as a youngster. Her asking price
reflects that. She requires a rider who has moderate
skills and who is not rough handed or prone to aggressive
use of spurs etc. Pagan will do whatever she is asked
but she will not tolerate abuse.
Pagan has produced three foals and makes a very
good brood mare. She was bred to a palomino and white
tobiano three consecutive times. As a result she produced
two palomino and white spotted fillies who are dark
gold and white and a palomino colt that is a soft
gold dapple. All three are prized by their owners
and brought good prices. Pagan puts great minds and
solid bodies on her offspring.
Pagan was started late under saddle because we
didn't need another riding horse at the time. Since
she was blemished we thought to just keep her for
brood. Once she was started under saddle,however,
we found how much we had been missing. If she does
not sell she will become my personal riding mare because
she is steady, smooth, and has a show quality foxtrot
naturally. All she needs is more miles put on her.
Pagan respects a confident rider. It is not that
she does anything radical but she tends to take charge
if her rider does not take charge. She is funny really
but to make the best horse of her she needs someone
who will pay attention to what they are doing until
this mare has more miles on her. She is too smart
for her own good really but that is what makes her
such fun! She also learns tricks easily. At one point
she was trained to dance in place and she will pick
her feet up on command. She can open doors and gates
and is utterly fearless.
If you are looking for a fun horse with a lot
of natural ability and spunk who also has a ton of
personality, here she is!

Foxvangen's
High Cotton Lass
V-98
!!! TRIPLE
REGISTERED!!!
Foxvangen's High Cotton Lass is a Blue Papered
Missouri Foxtrotter that could be Gold Papered. Her
sire is Foxvangen's Pharaoh pictured above and her
dam is Foxvangen's Trade Winds. This means she is
amply parentage verified as a true Missouri Foxtrotter.
Cotton is also registered as a Gold Sealed, Foundation
Foxtrotter with a factor of V-98 which means she is
5/8 old style, original Foxtrotter by blood. Cotton
is also registered as an SB1 Sabino with the Sabino
Horse Registry International and is eligible for registry
in the Pleasure Saddle Horse Registry.
Foxvangen's High Cotton
Lass is a two year old fully roaned sabino filly.
She has a ton of chrome and style. Her body color
will most likely darken as she matures at least that
is what all our others have done. She will retain
her flaxen mane and tail. She is a very affectionate
filly with a good brain and a willing nature. She
looks like she will mature to around 14.3 to 15 hands
but since she is a late bloomer she may fool us on
that.
Cotton was born knowing where her feet are. She
is athletic and energetic. She loves to play in the
pasture with her siblings and cousins. She is sensible
and sensitive needing only a light hand to direct
her. She is fast at the run and natural at the foxtrot
as you can see from the photo at the top of her page.
Cotton also has a natural running walk and flat foot
walk. She performs a true, 3 beat canter and a true
4 beat gallop in style.
Cotton comes when she is called and will seek
out a human if one is near. She loves attention and
is gentle and kind natured. Her energy is good but
she is not hyper so she can also be still when asked.
She uses her body well and would make a great trail
mare but may also be suitable for endurance, field
trials, competitive trail or other sports. She is
athletic enough to make a good, all-around type horse.
Cotton may also make a good gaited dressage horse
and may be a candidate for English Pleasure and/or
Saddle Seat. In short she is a talented prospect in
the raw waiting for the right person to come along
and recognize her super potential.
Cotton has some very interesting leg markings.
She has a knee patch on one front leg and a short
sock with a connecting line on the other. Her hind
stockings extend way up to near her flank and she
has belly spots and a blaze that wraps all the way
under her jaw. When she deepens in tone she will be
very distinctive and eye catching!
Cotton has long forearms and good joints and bone.
She has a lovely, supple neck and a clean head. She
is in a rapid growth spurt just now but will balance
out shortly into a lovely mare. She is offered only
to a good home who will not put her to saddle for
at least another year.
If you are looking for reach, speed, bottom and
ability you might want to take a close look at his
filly! Her price will be going up when she turns 3
in September.

Foxvangen's
Ozark Suncatcher
V-86
!!! TRIPLE REGISTERED!!!
Foxvangen's Ozark Suncatcher is a six year old
gelding that has some size and substance! He is triple
registered! He is registered with the Missouri Foxtrotter
Association where he is Blue Papered but could be
Gold papered. He is registered with the Foundation
Foxtrotter Heritage Association with a Gold Seal and
a V-factor of V-86 which means he has 11/16
old foundation blood. Ozark is also registered with
the Sabino Horse Registry International as an Sb1
Sabino.
Ozark's sire was Dan'na's Magni and his dam is
Miss Molly Fox. Both his parents are natural foxtrotting
horses with great bone and joints and both have gentle
kind natures which they gave in abundance to their
son, Ozark.
Ozark is a gentle giant. He's sweet natured and
friendly and is a rather placid type. He likes to
play and have a romp now and again but he is not a
high strung horse at all. He stands about 16 hands
and tapes at 1200 lbs. He's strong and has the bone,
joints and body mass to carry any weight and be enduring.
As can be seen in the above photo Ozark is a natural
foxtrotting horse and has never paced in his life.
He has a good stride and solid rhythm. He also flat
walks and running walks naturally.
Ozark is a strong horse with good balance of conformation.
He's correct in his legs and has a pleasant head with
a kind eye. He gets a bit darker gold than this photo
shows in the spring time but in our southern humidity
he fades to a creamy tone in summer.
Even though Ozark is a big horse he moves well
and is surprisingly light and agile on his feet. He
is athletic and well balanced as well as extremely
powerful. He can canter a true three-beat canter and
gallop a true four-beat gallop. We have watched him
perform natural flying lead changes when he is romping
in the field.
Besides being a pet, Ozark is a bit of a clown.
He likes to play games and can really be a fun horse
to watch as he maneuvers and plays around.
We do not ride our babies so Ozark has just recently
been started under saddle. He has shown no spook or
fear. He goes wherever he is asked to go with just
a little encouragement. He leads the group or follows
and can be ridden out on his own. He is already neck
reining some and has been exposed to strange things
and horses he does not know as well as a host of trail
experiences.
Above is a photo of Ozark's very first ride. He
had never had a saddle or bridle on before in his
life yet he rode right out. As soon as this photo
was snapped they took him right out on the trails
of the Mark Twain National Forest and rode him as
if he'd been ridden all his life. If you are looking
for a good looking, strong, big guy here he is! Ready
and waiting. This is the type of horse that will still
be going strong when others have been retired or broken
down. He's up to any sort of challenge.

Foxvangen's
Sarafina
V-99
!!! TRIPLE
REGISTERED!!!
Foxvangen's Sarafina ( pronounced
"sarah - feena") turned a year old in August.
She is an exceptionally pretty filly with a lot to
offer. In fact if she was not so closely related to
our stallions she would not be offered for sale at
all. She is that special! These photos were taken
when she was 10 months old.
Sarafina is a Blue Papered
Missouri Foxtrotter that could be Gold Papered. She
is sired by Foxvangen's Solaris and her dam is Foxvangen's
Millenium. This makes Sarafina third generation of
our breeding program through her sire and second generation
through her dam.
This cross was an excellent
one which we will repeat in the future! Sarafina is
also registered with the Foundation Foxtrotter Heritage
Association with a Gold Seal and a factor of V-99
which means she carries 5/8 original Foundation Foxtrotter
blood. Sarafina is also registered with the Sabino
Horse Registry International as an SB1 Sabino. She
is also eligible for registry in the Pleasure Saddle
Horse Registry where both of her parents are also
registered!
Sarafina is a naturally
calm, very gentle soul with a big heart. As you can
see in the photo above. The little spotted filly had
to be weaned early and came to us at 3 months of age.
She was so terrified and lonely we put her in with
Sarafina. The rest as they say is history. Sarafina
took charge and is mothering her younger friend. They
eat, drink and sleep together. When the little one
gets scared she runs to Sarafina for comfort and Sarafina
protects her. Considering Sarafina is herself barely
a year old that is remarkable. She is one special
filly!
At Foxvangen Farm we like
our youngsters to have space to romp and play. Running
and playing help stimulate growth and promotes good
bone growth but beyond that it develops balance, athletic
ability and a sense of "self" in the foals.
Sarafina, though a naturally gaited Foxtrotter, also
loves to run. She is exceptionally fast. Even when
the other foals have a head start it is always Sarafina
out in front at the end! She runs at a true four beat
gallop and has exceptional balance and surefootedness.
Sarafina is never hyper or fractious but like her
sire she has the heart to run. she does not waste
energy on nerves. She just goes out and gives it her
all. She uses her body beautifully and is so fluid
and smooth she is a joy to watch.
Sarafina shows promise that
could be channeled many different ways. She is not
pacy at all and is very correct in her movement. She
is light and coordinated on her feet and is nimble
and supple as they come. She would make a good prospect
for eventing, field trials, endurance, competitive
trail, and has the superior use of her shoulders and
hips that would do well in gaited dressage, English
Pleasure etc. Of course she would also make a wonderful
and very loyal trail buddy!
Sarafina is offered only
to a home that will assure she will not be ridden
until she is at least 3 1/2. Preferably 4. Sarafina
is worth waiting for and doing things right!

Foxvangen's
Titan
V-97
!!! DOUBLE
REGISTERED !!!
Foxvangen's Titan is an
aptly named, Blue Papered gelding soon to be a year
old. He could be Gold Papered if someone chose to
do so since his parents are DNA'd. Titan is also registered
with the Foundation Foxtrotter Heritage Association
with a Gold Seal and a factor of V-97 which means
he is 5/8 old Foundation blood.
Titan's
sire is Foxvangen's Pharaoh which means he can also
be registered without inspection in the Pleasure Saddle
Horse Registry. His dam is Casey Ann Kay whom you
can see on our "Mares" page. Casey is from
the Clarkson stock which is what gives our horses
their superior athletic ability as a natural working
ranch horse. Casey is a natural cow horse and works
with remarkable stock horse ability. She has passed
this ability down to her son!
Titan is a deep, rich chestnut
with one sock a partial coronet and a star. He will
likely get even darker as he matures since most of
ours do that. But what makes this fella special is
his cat-like athletic ability. He can move like a
QH and gait like a show horse which makes him a great
package! We have watched this colt with interest as
he achieves bursts of speed across the pasture. He
executes natural flying lead changes and has a powerhouse
hind end.
These photos were taken when Titan was barely
8 months of age and already developing muscle definition.
He's a strong, well balanced colt that will be a terrific
horse one day.
Titan has muscle definition
similar to a Quarterhorse but his angulation is that
of a gaited horse. He has the lean, strong muscling
that allows him to use his body efficiently. He is
a spirited and spunky horse with good bone and joints
and a certain way about him that tells us he would
make a good versatility prospect.
Titan has a lot of heart
and is a very intelligent youngster. His spirit is
undauntable and his personality simply shines through.
A fun horse in the making. He would be a good reining
prospect and may even make a cutting horse. He is
sure footed as a goat as well. None of these photos
show him to advantage because he's generally either
eating or on the move...not much of a poster boy.
Besides his many other attributes, Titan was born
curly. He is the type that does not get all over curly
after the foal shed so he is sleek and shiny but has
been tested as hypo-allergenic by someone who is terribly
allergic to "normal" horses. Titan has curls
in his ears and a curly mane and tail.
Titan has a gentle soul but the heart of
a lion. If you are looking for a solid Foxtrotting
gelding that will make a terrific trail mount or a
general all around fun horse, you might want to consider
this young lad!

Lv
Max's Twister
LV Max's Twister is a Blue
Papered Missouri Foxtrotter. In these photos he was
just two years old, he will be four in April of 2010.
We will get newer photos of him soon.
Max is a true roan gelding with a sweet nature
and a very willing personality. He learns very fast
and is a fun little horse to work with. Max is not
of our breeding. He was purchased to be a play companion
to another colt we were raising that didn't have a
chum. Max fulfilled his task admirably by being a
"big brother" to the other colt but is no
longer needed. He would make a nice ladies mount or
a teenager's dream horse. He is about 14.2 and though
he does not qualify for Foundation registry he is
terrifically gaited. He is silky smooth in motion
and is fast both in gait and at the gallop. Max does
not pace.
Max is gentle spirited yet sensitive. He requires
a person who will be kind and quiet with him in order
to bring out the best in him. What time I've spent
with him has been very rewarding. He just wants to
do whatever I ask of him and he retains things very
well. He is only offered to someone who will cherish
him and be his lifetime friend.
Max is beginning to fill out nicely and may reach
15 hands eventually but he will not get any taller
I'm quite sure. He is ready to start his ground work
and saddle training and will make a fabulously smooth
riding horse. He is a little timid of people yet once
he trusts he does so with his whole heart.
Max foxtrots naturally in the pasture and we have
seen him running walk. He has a long stride and a
lot of nod. He could make a show horse if that was
of interest to someone. His strengths lie along straight
line work such as showing, dressage, western or English
trail, or any sport such as Competitive Trail, timed
trail etc. This horse really books when he goes. He
has energy and moves in a big way.
Max has the added benefit of being a smooth coat
curly horse which means he displays only a very minimal
amount of wave to his coat yet he is still hypoallergenic
to several people who have allergies that tested him.
He's fresh and ready to start training to whatever
discipline you desire. He is priced for a quick sale
yet only to a qualified home where he will be cared
for and loved. Here is your opportunity to get a really
neat horse for a bargain price!
Max is scheduled to go to training in the spring.
After that his price will go up significantly.

Foxvangen's
Sugar Baby
V-104
!!! TRIPLE REGISTERED!!!
Foxvangen's Sugar Baby is a registered Blue Papered
Missouri Foxtrotter filly. In these photos she is
23 months old. Sugar Baby is also registered as a
Foundation Foxtrotter with a Gold Seal and a factor
of V-104 which means she is 9/16 old foundation blood
in her breeding. Sugar is also registered as an SB1
Sabino with the Sabino Horse Registry International.
She is a fully roaned, moderate Sabino.
Sugar Baby is an extremely gentle and docile filly
with an affectionate disposition. She has the type
of personality that will lend well to being a solid
family horse. She is a good sized filly that will
likely grow to be between 15.1 and 15.2 hands. She
has correct conformation and good legs.
Sugar Baby has a natural foxtrot and flat walk
and running walk. She canters a true 3 beat canter
and gallops a true 4 beat gallop. We have tried spooking
her with various items such as plastic bags tied to
whip ends, balls, balloons, etc and all she does is
want to taste them! She is a playful filly who is
calm and inquisitive. She would make a good trail
horse, 4-H project, or general all-around type of
horse. She would also make a good addition to any
foundation breeding program.
Sugar Baby is playful and funny. She likes to
be in the center of things. Sometimes she acts more
like the family dog than a horse! She goes for a romp
in her pasture sometimes and displays a sure footed
balance that hall marks the Foundation type of Foxtrotter.
Sugar Baby's sire is Foxvangen's Pharaoh and her
dam is Fire's Strawberry Wine. Berry is full sister
to Foxvangen's Toy Boy. Both are from Clarkson breeding
and are solid old style, Foundation Foxtrotters. Sugar
Baby carries on that tradition.
Foxvangen's Sugar Baby is maturing into a lovely
mare that would brighten any pasture. She is likely
going to darken some in her body tone. She has a light
flaxen mane that is slightly silvered and a light
flaxen tail. She has a very small, unobtrusive scar
on the bridge of her nose that is hardly visible but
present.

Poco is an elegant moving horse with presence

a true 4 beat gallop. He has never shown a lateral
step but does trot well. Poco, as you can see in the
photo below has an amazing head nodding, fully extended,
natural foxtrot. He also running walks and we have
seen him rack on occasion. He carries a nice tail
and has a regal bearing.
Just look at the flip of this guy's mane! That
is testimony to his remarkable head nod and his eye
catching foxtrot. He uses every bit of his shoulder
and foreleg to grab ground and he has the true "hunk
of meat" rhythm.
Poco would make a great trail horse, show horse,
field trial horse or any of a number of speed sports.
He's spirited, spunky and sensitive.
Shown in these pictures just playing in his pasture.
Poco belongs to our sister in law who lives next door.
Poco goes to a host of top horses. In his first
five generations alone he goes to Missouri's Cassey
Jones, Master Tom, Red Rawhide, Playboy's Spotted
Fox, Red Zane....and he goes to Dare's Trigger, Poole's
BlueBoy. This is a well bred youngster just looking
for a quality home.

Knight
of Troy
!!! DOUBLE
REGISTERED!!!
Knight of Troy is a Blue
Papered Missouri Foxtrotter gelding that is really
worth taking a look at. He is also registered in the
Foundation Foxtrotter Heritage Association with a
Gold Seal and a factor of V-114 which makes him 9/16
old foundation blood. He is line bred to Master Tom,
Red Rawhide, The Boogie Man and Missouri Traveler.
This packs him with a ton of rhythm and style but
he also goes many times to Golden Governor and has
such greats as Missouri's Cassey Jones, Black Angel
and a host of other well known horses on his pedigree.
Troy is a free moving horse
with a lot of stride and a natural gait that is a
joy to watch. He carries himself with a sort of natural
collection and uses his hocks very well. We have witnessed
him Foxtrotting ( his gait of choice) run walking
and he can rack. He is not pacy.
Troy has a huge hip and a very short back. His
neck is one of the best in the breed for suppleness,
length and clean throatlatch. As you can see he carries
an extremely high tail and has a natural balance.
He is 16 months old in these photos.
When Troy is full grown he will be a big bodied
horse. He has nice legs and good feet. He learns quickly
and is a sensitive horse with a very light way about
him that requires only the lightest of pressure for
response. He retains well and rarely makes the same
mistake twice. Troy is intelligent, willing and is
an energetic horse.
Troy is looking for a caring home that will appreciate
his need for a light touch and quiet handling. He
is so easy to teach that anything other than a light
handling is way overkill.
Troy's dam is Traveling Angel Fire who is a very
large bay mare. She moves with a light elegance that
is beautiful to watch and Troy has inherited her way
of traveling. We can't say how large he will get because
Angel's foals generally grow slowly but we guestimate
he will mature only around 15 hands but will have
substance.

Maya
F V F
Photo taken at 4 months
!!!! BLUE PAPERED
!!!!
Maya is a blue papered, black and white Tobiano
filly that came to us as a 2 ½ month old. She
was scared half to death and had very little handling.
She was really not mentally ready to leave her mother
so we put her in with one of our super gentle fillies,
Sarafina ( also on the sale page) for companionship.
Sarafina is many months older than Maya but she took
the little filly under her wing and became her substitute
mother.
Maya is likely eligible for several other registries
including the Pleasure Saddle Horse Registry, the
Spotted Saddle Horse Registry, The Racking Horse Registry.
If she stays with us for long she will be registered
in them as well. But she is primarily and always will
be a Blue Papered Missouri Foxtrotter!
Very correct legs and nice
joints
We gave Maya space and time to settle in and then
began to work with her. She has a good brain and with
a little time to collect herself she settled right
in. She is very intelligent, quick to learn and wants
to be friends.
This is a high energy filly with a lot of go.
She is very multi-gaited but we have never seen her
pace. She running walks, foxtrots and racks like crazy!
She has a really pretty canter as well.
She moves with purpose and
is always perky and energetic
Maya is not Foundation eligible but she is very
close to it missing eligibility by only 1/16. She
can produce foundation foals and if she for some reason
does not sell in a reasonable time we will hold her
back and eventually breed her to our own stallion.
She has a nice head with
the look of breeding
Maya is an extreme athlete and never travels at
anything other than gait , canter or gallop. She is
extremely quick and amazingly agile on her feet. I
have never seen her stumble or slip even on our slippery
mud. She also seems to take to our sudden weather
changes better than many.
Winter coats are not very
photogenic but she wears hers well
She is going to be a stout girl when she grows
and looks as if she will mature around 15 hands. Her
legs are extremely correct and strong. Her sire is
Mr. Renegade's Go boy by Chief's Renegade Lad by Superman's
War Chief. Her dam is Jackson's Frosty Lady by Jackson's
Gold Cadillac by G.Pride's Action Jackson, by Gunner's
Pride.
She traces to Ace's Little Man, Warrior's Gentleman
Gem, Ben Blue, Zane Grey, and has multiple crosses
to Mack K's Yankee.
Her coloring is well balanced
and striking
Maya's dam is a dunskin. Maya has rather dilute
eyes so we believe she may be a smokey black Tobiano.
Her sire is a Homozygous black and white Tobiano.
We plan to have her genetically tested for this because
she may well be homozygous black as well.
Here eyes are dilute...she
may be a smokey black and possibly homozygous
Maya has curls in her ears and a rather woolly
coat. Winter is not the best time to take sales photos
but all the same she presents rather well. We believe
her to be what is called a "Bunny Fur" Curly.
She will never look curly but carries the curly gene
in our opinion. We have had her tested by folk with
horse allergies and she came back as being hypoallergenic!
So anyone who has allergies looking for a great horse
may want to consider this charming filly.
She has curly ears and some
curl in her mane...she tests hypoallergenic
Maya's color balance couldn't be much better.
She will be a strikingly pretty horse once she is
grown. In short this filly is a one of a kind find.
She is offered for sale at this price only until she
turns a year old and then the price will go up. You
will not find many marked so well, that move this
good and also are hypoallergenic!!! She is a rare
find!
UPDATE: During the month of January 2010, we began
working with Maya. It takes a lot to impress me when
it comes to horses but I have to say this filly certainly
does. She has an incredible mind and willingness to
please. She is so quick to learn it is as if she already
knows what we want before we ask her! She is showing
a boldness that is surprising considering how timid
she was initially.
The more we handle her the more impressed we become
with her demeanor and her disposition. She is growing
well and is not fussy about what she eats. Were we
not getting so far up in years ourselves, this filly
would not be offered for sale!
The more this filly is worked with the higher
her price is going to get. She is going to be a one
of a kind sort of horse!

Foxvangen's
Hobbit
V-96
BLUE PAPERED
!!!! DOUBLE
REGISTERED !!!!
Foxvangen's Hobbit is a Blue
Papered Missouri Foxtrotter also registered in the Foundation
Foxtrotter Heritage Association. He was sired by Foxvangen's
Solaris making him third generation of our breeding
program through his sire. Hobbit's dam is oue of our
herd matriarchs, Chief's Magic Ribbon H. His pedigree
can be traced back to 1623 on many legs and is packed
with notable horses through each generation!
Foxvangen's Hobbit is a super nice colt born October
1, 2009. From the moment he arrived we knew he was
special. He is super cooperative, easy to handle and
a joy to be around!
Hobbit was named because
he reminded us of the little impish character in the
movies. He is so full of fun and so curious about
everything we just keep laughing at him all the time.
He's very gentle natured and affectionate.
Hobbit in his curly suite.
Once our foals shed their curls they never get them
back but nearly all of them remain hypoallergenic
Hobbit was born with a wavy
coat that turned curly by a month. This is something
we see quite a bit of in our stock. By time they are
older they shed the curl and we never see it again
but the residual is that nearly every one of them
is hypoallergenic when tested by people with allergies
to horses! We have not tested Hobbit yet but we are
confident he is likely also hypoallergenic as are
so many of our others.
Hobbit's fun time involves
racing. He is very nimble and fast on his feet. He
moves freely and fluidly with great efficiency of
motion. From the moment he was born he has enjoyed
being able to run but this boy can gait like a champion.
He's so fluid and smooth in his motion he's like watching
a well oiled piece of machinery.
Turning on the run coming
down a steep hill is no challenge for him.
He can race down hill full
tilt and without slowing a bit, make a 90 degree turn
and keep on his feet and just keep going or he can
stop midway without losing a step. When he plays he
executes flying lead changes and slide stops like
a stock horse! He's sure footed as a goat into the
bargain. He is sensible and sensitive and learns real
fast.
Hobbit is a curious colt
interested in all he sees, here he was watching a
ground hog crossing his path.
Hobbit is sure footed and
nimble on his feet. He likes a challenge and will
often go out of his way to test himself with difficult
footing. We have an immense compost pile in this pasture
which he climbs and negotiates like a mountain just
for the fun of it. He also travels through deep mud
without hesitation. It is as if he is looking for
a new experience and takes each challenges with a
grain of salt.
Hobbit is more difficult
to photograph than his brother, Druid because he is
so fast he moves out of range before I can get the
shot. He is quite mature for his age and very easy
to work around.
Hobbit showed the sooty
influence in his coloring right from the beginning.
Note how much darker he was a month ago.
At night he and his dam
are closed in a stall if the wind is blowing hard
or it's storming. I can walk over him and clean the
stall around him and he just lays there unconcerned.
I put his blanket on over his head and can handle
any part of his body. He has had his feet trimmed
twice already and he stands nicely for the farrier.
He has a wise old horse
brain in a baby horse body. But he moves like a solid
horse. With his wonderful bone and joints and feet
Hobbit would be a good candidate for endurance, field
trials or CTR but will make someone a fabulous trail
buddy as well.
Hobbit has an elegant
head with a big pretty eye and a very refined muzzle.
Hobbit was born far darker
than he is in these photos. His winter coat, typical
to palominos is lighter than he will be. You can also
see he carries the sooty gene which is showing a good
bit in some of these pictures. We think he will be
a medium gold and may have sooty influence to him.
Hobbit shares nearly identical
pedigree with Druid. They have the same sire and their
dams are mother and daughter. Hobbit has excellent
legs with great bone and joints. He looks like he
will have a long mane and tail like his sire. He's
a pretty colt with a great disposition!
He's a wonderful colt with
a lot to offer and a personality to die for. He looks
like he will mature between 15 hands and 15.2.
This price will increase
after weaning.
