Annie

Hello! I'm Annie, a 14 year old registered Missouri Fox Trotter, living large at Golden Gate Farms . I'm known as Queen Bee around here because I'm respectful to every horse as long as they're respectful to me. If they have attitude, we have a problem.

The day Mom brought me home in April of 2022 was a long one. After a four hour drive we finally arrived and I was tired and irritable. I could tell Mom was a little nervous backing me out of the trailer. Shenanigans ensued immediately. I escaped my pasture, caught my shoe on the electric fence and threw shade at every horse. Then I met Sako, my buddy for life and everything calmed down.

I know I'm Mom's favorite. I enjoy our trail rides and love my baths in front of the fan. The cow herding lesson was my favorite. Mom didn't think I would enjoy it but she was wrong. I was a natural! Arena time isn't my favorite but I'm always willing to do what's asked. I'm also pretty flexible so working the barrel pattern isn't too bad.

I have ulcers that make me act a little bratty sometimes. Mom knows they're acting up when I start pinning my ears and acting grumpy about work. She gives me medicine which always helps and then I'm back to normal. I wish I could be out on delicious green grass like my best buddy Sako but Mom says it will make me fat and crabby so I have to stick to hay on a dry lot.

Mom is offering an onsite 1/2 lease on me for the right rider. I love trail riding, working with cows and obstacle courses. If you're an intermediate to advanced rider, partial to gaited horses and looking for a gorgeous girl with a big personality as a riding partner, I'd love to hear from you! Follow my story if you're interested in how we manage my stomach and hind gut ulcers, our battle to keep my weight in check with exercise and diet and all the fun things I do as a fancy broke Missouri Fox Trotter!
