Welcome to Hawthorn Hill Fox Trotters

Thanks for visiting our site! Updated 06/14/2025

Our goal is to promote usefulness and versatility in Missouri Fox Trotting horses and new to our herd, ranch bred Quarter Horses. Gaited horses were the first choice of mount for cowboys “back in the day” when they needed a comfortable horse with a good worth ethic that was capable of going all day long. Achieving a change in the modern public perception toward Missouri 

Fox Trotters requires producing safe, athletic horses with naturally good dispositions, conformation, correct gait, healthy genetic diversity, and substantial size. We aim to raise and train horses with an easy, natural fox trot and canter with the same level of softness, stopping ability, and turning ability as your average well trained stock type horse, promoting their versatility and eliminating the confusion that so many new owners experience when making the transition from non-gaited to gaited. A range of horses are offered for sale from weanlings to finished riding horses, ready for the trail, show ring, and everything in between. These horses are loved and handled correctly from birth, and it shows in their trust and respect toward humans. We are excited to offer Quarter Horses in the future as well. Though we raise Missouri Fox Trotters, we work with all breeds and have a passion for correct conformation, good minds, and quality movement, regardless of breed or primary discipline.

HHF Final Copy
MFTHBA

$4,000

This gorgeous black colt, born 09/22/2024,  is already showing signs of being special. I’m so grateful to have this foal after losing his sire, HHF Bentley, so suddenly. Lila and Bentley are both horses that we bred and raised & this foal checks every box- perfect gaits, conformation, people oriented disposition, naturally brave and curious. Lila has natural cow sense and a fantastic work ethic. This foal should mature at around 14.3 hands in height. You also can’t go wrong with a set of papers with names including Cardinal’s MVP, The Cardinal M., Playboy Remedy, Time To Tango, Jester’s Charming Legend, and Sunrise Tradition.

HHF Mayhem
MFTHBA

Not for sale.

This sorrel September 2023 filly by C.I.A and out of Perfect Tango is going to be an absolute powerhouse. She is a big, flashy mover expected to mature at a stout 14 hands. She is on the hotter side compared to some of our other foals, yet very intelligent and engaging to work with. She is the only horse we plan to keep as we downsize our herd and focus on the training side of our business.

Blue Jeans Only
MFTHBA

$8,500

Blue is a March 2024 blue roan filly by multi WGC Model Stallion Tri-Mi Off To See The Wizard and out of a Sensation’s Southern Gentleman bred mare. We love her wide build and solid conformation, her intelligent, trainable disposition, her pretty little head, and she’s homozygous for black as well as homozygous for roan. She is very gaited with a lot of rhythm and shake. She should mature to a very solid 15 hands and will have a career both under saddle and as a brood mare.

HHF Miss USA
MFTHBA

SOLD

Missy is a March 2024 filly with some serious presence. With a sire like WGC Performance stallion C.I.A. and a proven dam out of Sheza Constant Threat, out of Jester's Nellie R., I suppose it shouldn’t be a surprise! She has major show potential with some really impressive rhythm and shake. She is on track to be significantly taller than her sire and dam at around 15 hands. She is displaying tremendous athleticism and gorgeous uphill movement as she progresses through her ground work. She is gentle and knows everything a yearling should, from basic ground work, to standing tied, bathing, trimming, trailer loading- you name it, she’s teachable.

HHF Final Play
MFTHBA

$15,000
Lila is one of the prettiest, most correct movers we have ever raised, which makes sense considering she's sired by Cardinal's MVP and out of a Southern Playboy line bred mare we sold to a wonderful home in California last year. Lila is a stunning black mare, a perfect 15.1 hands, can walk with Quarter Horses, and will always give you a flat foot walk, fox trot, and canter for her next gears- absolutely no special lessons or gait training necessary. Her quality of movement is absolutely superb, with incredibly smooth gaits and a long, flat stride with no break in the knee. She is naturally confident, brave, and intelligent, making her an ideal mount outside of the arena as well. Lila is completing training with Downunder Horsemanship Method Ambassador Trent Burch. Videos available soon.

Kansas Casanova

$15,000

KC is a 2018 gelding by Phantom's Ozark Jubilee R. and a Cardinal mare. He would make an excellent versatility/cow horse, as well as a high mileage trail horse. He has a solid foundation and solid conformation and is just a blast to ride! KC is completing training with Downunder Horsemanship Method Ambassador Trent Burch. Videos available soon.

Brannvandrer
AQHA
$25,000

Brannvandrer "Cass" is a 2022 AQHA filly we've purchased out of Wyoming. She is double Plenty Try and double Happy's Cardinal bred. She has a fantastic disposition, very people oriented, and her natural willingness to please combined with her immense athleticism would make her a fun show prospect for anyone wanting to delve into ranch classes. After she was started under saddle, she underwent 6 weeks of training at Clinton Anderson's ranch with Method Ambassador Trent Burch.

CTK Tipsy On Whiskey
AQHA
$25,000

"T" is a 2022 AQHA filly by rising star in the show pen, BS Tripps Jaybird. Much like her sire, she is BIG, with Hancock intelligence and grit combined with Paddy's Irish Whiskey balance and conformation, along with a slew of desirable old lines like Bart Bartender, Doc Clabber, Freckles Playboy, and many more. She is a gorgeous, balanced mover with serious potential to show in the ranch classes and even dressage. Her movement is big and pretty but coordinated and balanced, making her a very smooth ride. She recently underwent 6 weeks of training at Clinton Anderson's ranch with Method Ambassador Trent Burch.

Mouse's Magic Misty Grey
MFTHBA

$ Call for price. Available only to an ideal home.

Misty is back home with us through absolutely no fault of her own. We're thankful she was so loved and well cared for and happy to have her home. Misty is a 2004 mare whose sire, Grey's Stud Mouse, was well known in the show ring for many years. This mare really takes after her daddy- grey with large, kind eyes and gorgeous, correct, uncomplicated gaits. She is all fox trot and will not preform any lateral gaits. She has produced two foals for us, her very first foal in 2023 and her second in 2025. While she has been a great riding horse for many years- I was told by previous owners that she was used to check cows and trail rode often- she has found her calling late in life as a mama. She is such a good brood mare. She is an attentive mama and has out produced herself both times. I have also ridden her sporadically over the past few years and she has proven to be a reliable mount even after time off. I feel that it is unfair to advertise her for sale at her age, however, if she were to be more appreciated elsewhere I would gladly let her go on to enhance another breeding program. Despite her age, she is also completely sound to my knowledge. .

*Name Pending* 2025 filly out of Mouse's Magic Misty Grey
MFTHBA

$3,500

We are totally smitten with Misty's 2025 filly. She is the total package with solid conformation, immense rhythm and shake, powerful and coordinated in her hind end, and smoky black to top it all off. She is one I absolutely wouldn't mind keeping, as she's the last foal for now by our late stud, HHF Bentley. (We do have a very minimal supply of semen, frozen to use for ICSI at a later time.) She is a full sibling to Misty's 2023 colt and those that know him know why I'm excited about this one. Only because of our need to downsize, I have put a fair price on her at $3,500.

*Name Pending and Photo Coming Soon*
2025 filly out of Sheza Whole Lot of Chocolate
MFTHBA

$3,500

Bonnie is an extremely confident, curious, and affectionate filly out of a mare that now resides with our wonderful friends and clients. They are delighted with their new horse but knew that a new foal was not in the cards for them, so we were thrilled to agree to keep this baby. Bonnie is a large, thick boned, sorrel filly and is already a knockout mover. She is by our late stud, HHF Bentley, and out of Sheza Whole Lot of Chocolate, whose photo can be found in the "Horses Sold" section. While I'm already envisioning her as a personal mount someday and would love her size and confidence for some serious trail riding, she is available for purchase for now.
