Hera is another homerun for our Arab/RMH mare and our MFT stallion! She is the third of this cross and maybe the best one yet! Gaited, athletic, beautiful head, substance and the sweetest disposition! She adores the human race and would love to just be come inside and cuddle on the couch! Unfortunately she is a horse and it doesn't work like that. Still, she is the kind that will look forward to your visits to the barn and becoming your best forever friend. She will be a smooth ride that has the Arabian style that will turn people's heads as you foxtrot on by! She is pure black with not a white spot on her so no worries on keeping her clean. This filly is the best and she deserves the best, do you qualify?

Khontessa FW- Born April 27, 2024. This stunning filly is out of a Khemosabi granddaughter that is Polish/Russian/Crabbett bred. Her sire is our super athletic and royally bred Foxtrotter stallion. We have discovered a golden cross between Arabs and Foxtrotters. This filly will be registered as a Pleasure Saddle Horse. They are athletic, smooth, intelligent, in your pocket and absolutely gorgeous. We started doing this to produce smoother gaited endurance/CTR prospects but some of them (like this filly) can turn on a dime and would excel at Gymkhana, Mounted Shooting, and working cows. Tess, as we call her, is a firebrand and will need a knowledgeable owner to curb her sass. She loves people and has learned her lessons well but she is intelligent enough to take advantage of an unsuspecting human. She is the best of this year's crop in my opinion. She should mature between 14.3 and 15 hh. Tess is taking New Owner Applications so submit yours today! Located in Livingston Manor, NY.

These days on Social media you mostly see negativity or complaining or someone being offended by something. Today I want to post something positive. On Sunday, I loaded the last three of my babies to go on a long journey to Texas to their new home. A couple hours in the transporter broke down on an interstate. A message was posted and a wonderful woman, who many of you know, Nola Haupert-Keill stepped up to the rescue. She took my precious babies and another horse to her home and assisted the transporter in finding lodging and a place to fix his truck. She has cared for the horses and kept them safe all while running her own busy farm. People like Nola need to be acknowledged, the world needs to know that kindness still exists in this upside down world. Thank you Nola, from the bottom of my heart, you are a true angel. Bless you.

Siri has found her forever home, thanks to all who inquired. Who would like some "old" blood for their broodmare band? Or just a fancy little palomino to turn heads as you ride on by? Foxwillow's Sriracha could be your girl! Registered, weaned and ready to go! Sired by The Brass Badger FW (Cotton Eyed Joe Y- GG Sister Goldenhair by Traveler's Nod A Lot) and out of our homebred mare, Foxwillow's Dream Catcher (Mr. Renegade's Go Boy- Mane Gait's Dreaming Dixie by Dreamspinner). "Siri" has a lovely foxtrot and looks just like her beautiful granddam Sister. She is a fast learner but needs an experienced person because she is very sensitive and needs to get to know you before she bonds. She is confident and the leader of this year's crop, she is always the first to do everything and will bring the right person many years of joy. PM for more information. Photo of registration papers included.

SOLD! Dreaming of breeding your own beautiful Missouri Foxtrotters but having a hard time finding the right stallion? I am looking to share my good fortune by making Mr. Renegade's Go Boy available to a discerning breeder. He is my foundation stallion and a prolific sire of FILLIES! So I have a nice collection of daughters I am retaining for breeding which is an exciting next step for the breeding program but unfortunately Renegade will not be useable so I am looking for someone who might appreciate one of the nicest stallions I have ever known. He is broke to ride and can go out easily with other horses, he is super easy to handle (no bad manners, bite or kick- no "chains" or crops), he throws his easy going disposition to his foals, he has the best feet on the farm (except for his offspring)-needs very little from the farrier as his feet are nearly perfect, he is well bred and a wonderful outcross sire for all the Missouri Traveler and Sunrise bred mares out there (he has no lines to either), pedigree does include Toddy's Perfection, Superman's Warchief, Danny Joe W and more. He stands 14.3 1/2 hh sticked, he is homozygous for BOTH black and Tobiano so colored babies every single time. He is triple registered with the Missouri Foxtrotter Ass, Pinto and Pleasure Saddle Horse and eligible for Spotted Saddle Horse. Renegade is up to date and has a current coggins, ready to go! Breeding season is around the corner....he can produce wonderful spotted babies for you for the special holiday offering of three thousand, expires New Year's Eve.

Here are a couple of updated photos of our Orphan Foal, Alamo Joe. You may remember his story from last fall when we lost his dam suddenly when Alamo was 5 weeks old. He spent the first several months of his life being nursed by us and watched over by his big "brother" Jolt- a spring c**t who had just been weaned. It was a family effort and we got Alamo through those critical first months, now he has grown into a gorgeous 10 month old c**t. He may be available to the right person, inquiries welcome.

Summer has been busy here at Foxwillow Farm Gaited Horses! Here are some recent photos of this year's foal crop and their dams for all to enjoy.Still have one 2019 available- Foxwillow's Yellowstone- a dark palomino (maybe sooty?) registered PSHR c**t by our senior MFT stallion Cotton Eyed Joe Y and out of a world champion Paso Fino mare. Inquiries welcome!

Sadly, my daughter has outgrown this magnificent little horse and after a lot of consideration (mostly tearful) we have decided he is too young at only 12 years old to be put out to pasture. So we are looking for the PERFECT home for him so he can help another horse crazy person achieve the stars as she has. Primero is a seasoned trail horse, has competed and won many many Obstacle Challenges (including the PFHA Trail Test several years ago), competed and won many many Gymkhana competitions with Pole Bending being his best class. He trailers like a champ, bathes, clips with no issue, is fantastic for the farrier (never ever misbehaves), gets along well with other horses he is pastured with, rides alone out on the trail, is easy for an advanced beginner and up, lays down to be mounted on command, the list goes on and on!! Rides ba****ck with just a neck rope, rides on the road and good in traffic, ridden in parades, will jump (although he is NOT a hunter lol)......this horse is as seasoned as it gets. He is a registered son of Caballo's Top Gun- a PFHA champion and out of a superbly bred Colombian mare Lila del Prado. He may be a dark bay but he is as close to a unicorn as you can get. Many more photos and videos available. Price somewhat negotiable to the PERFECT home- references will be required. Asking $7500.00, somewhat negotiable. Located in Livingston Manor, New York.

Merry Christmas from the Foxwillow Family!

Orphan C**t Update!! End of week 3, Alamo is finally starting to feel better! This past Saturday (when we still had snow) he had a blast racing around the barn yard and hanging out with big brother Jolt. It was wonderful to see the look of joy return to his pretty little face.
We are still offering discounted breedings to two of our stallions as well as special Holiday pricing on our remaining sale horses. Check out this page for more information. And a special thank you to all who have helped to raise funds to help with the extra expenses raising our little golden boy as well as all the prayers and well wishes.
