Greetings,
Thanks for stopping by our web site, we are glad you found Lucky Rooster Farm!
It all began in 1993 when Gin fell in love with and bought, Lucky, a Missouri Fox Trotter, from a friend. She soon decided she wanted to purchase another Fox Trotter and convinced her friend Mary to travel out to Missouri with her. While there, Mary bought “Banner’s Clown”, a sorrel overo mare affectionately known around the farm as Molly. Gin bought “Magic Motion” a grey gelding.
Gin's sister, Sue Millette has a 14 year old bay mare "Fancy" who she enjoys riding very much as well.
We began offering quality Missouri Fox Trotters for sale after many friends and acquaintances were asking to purchase our personal riding horses. We decided that we would raise a few foals each year to help meet this demand for our beloved Fox Trotters. We have also formed a friendship with Fox Trot Farm in Virginia. Each year we travel to Virginia to bring a select number of young stock back to New England where they will be offered for sale.
We also started a lesson program at the farm using our Fox Trotters. We find that their dispositions are perfect for our lessons.
In 1997, we organized the New England Fox Trotter Club to promote the breed in New England and help people who have fox trotters with training as well as sharing our love for this versatile breed. We now run an organized Pleasure Ride, and will add at least one or two additional rides around the northeast this year. We attend the Equine Affaire in Springfield, MA. every year and have successfully put on two breed demonstrations while there.
Sincerely,
Gin Stanley, Mary Duffy and Sue Millette, Farm Owners
