We raise total working shepherds that are able to function in multiple disciplines from high sport and agility, to law enforcement, personal protection and S&R.

Foxtrotters

Our Missouri Foxtrotters are a combination of smooth gaited, sure footed, quiet dispositioned trail horses that anyone can ride.

Arabians

Our Old World Arabian horses are all straight Egyptian and most are straight Babson.
