The Missouri Fox Trotter is a horse breed renowned for its smooth and comfortable gait, making it a popular choice among riders who prioritize a gentle ride. Originating in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri in the early 19th century, this breed was developed by settlers who needed a versatile horse capable of working on farms, traveling long distances, and providing a comfortable ride. The breed's name reflects its origin and its distinctive gait, the "fox trot."
The Missouri Fox Trotter stands out for its unique gait, which sets it apart from other horse breeds. The fox trot is a four-beat diagonal gait, where the horse walks with its front legs and trots with its hind legs. This gait allows for a smooth and efficient movement that reduces the bounce felt by the rider, providing a comfortable ride over long distances and varied terrains. The fox trot is complemented by two other gaits: the flat-foot walk, a slow, relaxed gait, and the canter, a smooth, flowing three-beat gait.
