HANDEL RANCH
FOX TROTTERS
Dennis and Janice with
"Classy Sassy" at Ava, Missouri
Welcome......
I would like to tell you a
little about ourselves and our horses. Our stable is located in Shafter,
California. We are approximately two hours from Los Angeles and about
five hours from Sacramento. We have been involved in farming for
over forty years. Twenty three years ago, we bought our very first two
foxtrotters which we used strictly for trail riding. After a few years, we purchased a few quality show mares and have bred these
mares to some of the top stallions in this breed. We are small breeders,
producing only two or three foals a year from some of the best bloodlines we
could find in this breed. Several of the foals that we have produced,
have been shown with great success and some have been used strictly for
pleasure riding. Our foals have been sold to foxtrotter enthusiasts all
over this country. Our goal has been to breed for the best quality
foxtrotters that we can hope for. We strive for calm dispositions, good
conformation, soundness and above all...........natural gait! Over the years, we've
had many foals born here that have come in a variety of colors to
choose from. We have truly enjoyed being involved in this breed, but most of
all, we are thankful for the very nice people that we have met and also for
those who have guided and helped us for so many years with our horses.
Come on in and take a look at some of our favorite photos of both Dennis and
myself and our foxtrotters. We hope you enjoy your visit and do
come back and visit us soon..........HAPPY TRAILS!
