Gaited Trail Safe Ranch Show Gelding

Wonder Boy is an attractive 6-year-old dappled palomino gelding. He is a registered Missouri Foxtrotter who was born, raised, and started right here on our farm. Wonder Boy is named after the Arkansas Tech University Wonder Boys, where I graduated from College. We’ve been breeding, raising, starting, and finishing the training of Missouri Foxtrotters for over 25 years. My wife and I, along with our four Children, are the owners of Boston Mountain Fox Trotters and Horse Camp, nestled in the Boston Mountain Range of the Ozark Mountains in Arkansas.

BREEDING: Wonder Boy has the perfect pedigree in the Missouri Foxtrotting horse industry. He is a grandson of the great Southern Sunrise and a grandson of World Grand Champion Prince Jester. Both his Grand sires are Breyer Model Horses. His Sire Southern Sunrise’s Romeo is no stranger. He was the 2009 Amateur World Grand Champion. His Dam was never shown, but we have video footage available of her; she was the own daughter of WGC Prince Jester and Youth WGC Cassey’s Missouri Star. Missouri Cassey Jones sired both of his grand dams. Missouri Cassey Jones is known as the broodmare sire; his daughters have produced more World Champions than any other.
His Pedigree consists of 9 World Champions, 6 World Grand Champions, and 2 Reserve World Grand Champions.

His Grand sires production numbers 
#1 Southern Sunrise – 788 babies
#2 Missouri Traveler E – 528 babies
#3 Mack K’s Yankee- 489 babies
#9 Rex’s Golden Touch- 365 babies

Wonder Boy has the sought-after disposition that his Sire and Grandsire have passed on.
Southern Sunrise’s Romeo has sired Trail Horses in 20 U.S. states and the country of Israel.

DISPOSITION & TEMPERAMENT: Wonder Boy was raised here on our farm and has been handled since birth. He has been around our kids since he was a foal. He has been petted, brushed, and fed as part of a daily routine. He was halter-broke as a Weanling and started under saddle when he was 3 years old. He is calm, well-behaved, and enjoys being around people. Wonder Boy will greet you at the gate from the pasture. He has always been in the pasture with other geldings and mares, and he gets along well with others in a herd. He will stand patiently tied with no pawing or anxiety.

GAIT: Wonder Boy was bred to FOXTROT! He has a fantastic, smooth foxtrot, Flat Foot walk, and Canter.

EXPERIENCE: Wonder Boy has extensive trail experience. Where he has been ridden alone or in large groups, leading a pack, he will go in the middle, Front, or back of a group. He has been riding in some of the most rugged terrain in the Ozarks. He has been trail ridden by nearly everyone in our family. He also has a show performance exposure! He has been shown in Youth Performance Classes and has even carried a garland! He has also been shown in Versatility Classes.
Wonder Boy stands still to be saddled, bridled, fly-sprayed, mounted, dismounted, for the farrier, and for a bath! He has been exposed to: traffic, tarps, barking dogs, trail obstacles, chainsaws, deer, armadillos, gunfire, golf carts, four-wheelers, lawn mowers, and bicycles. He is easy to mount and will side-pass over to any obstacle to pick his rider.

TRAINING: Wonder Boy was bred, started, and trained by me, Andrew Hendrix. I have been breeding, raising, training, and selling my own Foxtrotters for about 25 years.

SUITABILITY FOR RIDERS: Wonder boy has been ridden by everyone from 8 to 80. My 17-month-old has sat on him and would ride him if he could! Wonder Boy is easy to get along with, but I always recommend that anyone buying a horse come try them out to make sure they suit you!

We are located 15 miles off Highway 65 near Marshall, Arkansas. We have camper sites available. Take him for a spin!
