Description:
If you appreciate a horse with history, substance, style, and one of the smoothest rides you could ever sit on, Travelers Royal deserves your attention… this 2013 model registered MFT Gelding stands 15.1hh and is very stout built!
The Missouri Fox Trotter is a true American-made breed, developed in the rugged Ozark Mountains where settlers needed a horse that could comfortably cover long distances over rough country while remaining sure-footed, sensible, and dependable. That heritage is still easy to recognize today—and Travelers Royal is a tremendous example of what the breed was made to be.
Royal is a beautifully built, substantial horse with the kind of bone, foot, muscle, and overall structure that gives you confidence when you climb aboard. He has enough size and substance to carry a rider comfortably all day, while still being athletic, balanced, and handy. He has that classic, eye-catching Missouri Fox Trotter presence that gets noticed wherever he goes.
And then there is his GAIT!
Royal has an absolutely SUPER-SMOOTH fox trot that is a pleasure to ride. He stays comfortable and consistent whether you’re easing down a country lane or covering miles of trail. You can spend an entire day horseback without feeling like you’ve been bounced around in the saddle. When asked to lope, Royal steps right into a beautiful, balanced lope and circles around very nicely. He also has a good one-handed neck rein, making him enjoyable and uncomplicated to ride.
Out on the trail is where Royal really shines. Point his head toward it and he’ll handle it. He has the experience and confidence to negotiate steep hills, rocky trails, creeks, mud, logs, ditches, downed timber, narrow paths, and rough country. He watches where he puts his feet and doesn’t get worked up when the trail throws something unexpected at him.
Royal is also traffic safe and accustomed to the commotion that comes with riding outside the arena. Vehicles, farm equipment, dogs, wildlife, and activity along the trail aren’t going to ruin your day.
With his smooth ground-covering gait, stamina, sensible nature, and ability to comfortably travel for hours, Royal would also make an OUTSTANDING FIELD TRIAL HORSE. He has exactly the type of ride that allows you to stay horseback all day, cover country efficiently, and still enjoy every mile.
Royal combines so many qualities that made the Missouri Fox Trotter famous in the first place—a naturally smooth gait, sure-footedness, stamina, versatility, substance, and a willing disposition.
