Phantom – Missouri Fox Trotter

Phantom is a stunning jet-black 14-year-old grade Missouri Fox Trotter gelding standing 14.3 hands tall. His sleek, shiny coat glows in the sunlight, and his presence is every bit as impressive as his ride. Phantom has been extensively trail ridden and is the definition of solid and seasoned. He handles any terrain you point him toward — from creeks and logs to steep hills and rocky paths — and he does it all with ease. His natural gait is incredibly smooth and makes covering miles a joy, and when asked, he’ll transition into a soft, short lope that’s easy to sit and effortlessly controlled. Phantom is not spooky in any way and remains calm and focused no matter what’s happening around him. He’s traffic safe and well-acclimated to dogs, farm equipment, ATVs, wildlife, and even bicycles. Nothing rattles this gelding — he takes it all in stride and keeps his rider safe. He rides out alone or with a group, never barn or buddy sour, and always stays steady under saddle. On the ground, Phantom is a gentleman. He has truly outstanding ground manners, leads with respect, stands tied patiently, picks up all four feet with ease, and is excellent for grooming and the farrier. He parks out to make mounting simple and steady — a thoughtful touch that’s especially appreciated on the trail. He also loads and hauls quietly, making him a breeze to travel with. Phantom has a kind, willing attitude and a heart that’s eager to please. If you’re looking for a safe, seasoned trail companion with smooth movement, reliable training, and an unshakable mindset, Phantom is the total package. For more information contact (573) 270-4490.
