Bo is a stunning 14.3-and-a-half-hand, seven-year-old registered Missouri Foxtrotter (MFTHBA) buckskin gelding who has been a cherished family member since I brought him home as a six-month-old gift for my wife. Over the years, he has been part of countless family moments, including our wedding, camping trips, and bonfires.
With extensive trail-riding experience, Bo has explored beautiful locations like Eminence, MO, Downtown Hot Springs, AR, during a motorcycle rally, Falling Waters, AR, and the historic Wilson Creek Battlefield in Springfield, MO. He thrives in diverse environments, from busy towns to serene trails in the Ozark mountains.
Bo is not just a trail horse; he’s a seasoned partner. He’s confidently pulled a cart through busy streets and fields of cattle while being a gentle companion for our grandkids. His playful spirit shines during holiday parades, where he’s dressed up in costumes and greeted by cheering crowds. He’s even taken our four-year-old grandson on an intertube ride down the river effortlessly through the water.
This remarkable gelding is easy to mount and dismount, side passing to whatever you ask him to, whether it be fences or stumps. He stands patiently, waiting for your cue to move forward or back, making him an excellent choice for riders of all ages and skill levels. Ridden by four-year-olds with an adult and young children being supervised to seasoned equestrians in their seventies, Bo is safe, forgiving, and a joy to ride.
With a silky smooth gait you can enjoy all day, riding Bo is an experience you won’t forget. His ability to maintain a leisurely pace alongside non-gaited horses and his gentle rocking chair canter make him the ideal trail partner. Bo is sure-footed, even in rocky terrain, and can easily spin or back up as needed. His low head ensures he stays focused on his rider, creating a strong bond of trust.
Bo isn’t just a horse; he’s a beloved family member who has enriched our lives and created countless memories. I’ve made the difficult decision to sell Bo because, as a horse trainer, I aim to prepare these wonderful animals for the unexpected, helping them develop the skills they need for various experiences.
I believe it’s time for him to find a forever home where he can continue to thrive and create lasting memories with his new owner. He deserves a place where he can share his gentle spirit and exceptional abilities, and I’m confident he will be a beloved companion for whoever welcomes him into their life.
If you’re looking for a reliable trail horse or a companion for your family. We invite you to Rogersville, MO, to try Bo out while he is listed on our website. My wife and I look forward to meeting you and answering any questions you may have about Bo.
