About Us
Big Barn Ranch
Our Breeding Program
At Big Barn Ranch we selectively breed Missouri
Fox Trotters looking for those characteristics that define great
Versatility, Ranch and Competitive Trail Horses.
We use only the finest bloodlines that lend themselves to these
disciplines.
Using the example of the original Natural horseman, the Vaqueros, we start
our horses gently and slowly so that they will become polite, curious,
confident and responsive partners.
Many of our foals are imprinted at birth.
This imprinting is then followed up with groundwork that begins to
instill in them the qualities of politeness, confidence and responsiveness.
As weanlings they are introduced to the halter, groundwork, clippers,
vet prep, and are easy to catch.
Daily interaction with each foal continues and as two year olds they are
started under saddle, very lightly ridden and put out to pasture to mature.
At three they begin a program which strengthens their bodies, builds
endurance and engages their mind.
When you buy a Big Barn Ranch Horse you are not only buying the horse, you
are buying excellent training.
Training by the best natural horsemen and experts in their disciplines. We
will do our best to ensure that your partnership with your horse is a good
one.
Our own personal experience with buying horses is that you can buy a trained
horse and know what you are getting, or pay less for your horse, search
around for a proven trainer and maybe you will get good results.
Our trainers are proven and you will not only see the results, you
will ride the results!

While looking for property there, we came across a pasture with a
good-sized herd of horses grazing in it. There had to be at least 50. We
had no idea what breed they were. We would drive to the pasture with a bag
of carrots, call to them, and they would come a-runnin. right up to us!
I would turn to my husband and ask, “Is this
safe?” Being a brave man, he would say, “Sure it is.” Lucky for us, they
