Welcome to Hawthorn Hill Fox Trotters
Thanks for visiting our site! Updated 05/20/2025
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
$5,000
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 Bentley and this colt's brother 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, and the foal should be 14.3-15 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
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. We’re excited about the idea of making her Claire’s personal horse and are no longer open to offers. She’ll be a phenomenal all around horse.

We are incredibly excited to welcome home this 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 to her intelligent, trainable disposition, her pretty little head, and she’s homozygous for black as well as homozygous for roan. She should mature to a very solid 15 hands and will have a career both under saddle and as a brood mare. Only in order to downsize the way we need, she is being offered for what we have in her.
HHF Miss USA
$5,500
This filly has 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. While we hope to cut our herd numbers, I really wouldn't mind starting her riding career and adding her to our brood mare band someday.
HHF Final Play
$20,000
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 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
$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
$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.
