My New Trail Horse

Smokey is 2000 Missouri Fox

Trotter Gelding.

He is actually a paint, but has turned out to be a beautiful light grey.

When we give him a bath, we can see the blue skin where he was dark!

Vital Information - Smokey

Registered Name: Patch Thompson 00-67512

Year: 2000

Breed: Missouri Fox Trotter

Sex: Gelding

Color: Paint (Grey)

Height: 15.2

Temperament:  Gentle, Quiet, Friendly, your best friend!

Suitable for: Absolutely any one.  Smokey is safe and trustworthy. Probably the most willing horse we have ever owned.   Good on the road, hauls, clips, easy to work with in every way. This is the horse we put non-riders on!

Note: Smokey has a cataract in his left eye. We noticed it shortly after we bought him, but when we decided that he was exceptional with even the most timid rider, we turned down the previous owners offer to return him. He probably has limited vision in that eye, but he has no trouble with even the toughest trails.

More about Smokey

You can hunt far and wide for a good horse and then sometimes a good horse will just find you.

Smokey found us a trail ride 2 years ago. Everybody in camp rode him all week. When we took him out the last day, we decided he had to go home with us.

Smokey re-introduced us to Missouri Fox Trotters. He is the one we put the brand new riders up on. He has a wonderful natural foxtrot but his walk is our favorite. He can stride out with the gaited horses, or stay back with our Quarter Horses.

This is the horse that is waiting by the gate every day waiting to go for a ride. If he could saddle himself, he would.

Price: Priceless (not for sale) We'll make you one like him.
