Cotton Gelding Missouri Fox Trotter

8 years • Gelding • Missouri Fox Trotter

Meet “Hollywood’s Foggy Bottom,” but around the farm, we call him Cotton! Cotton is a beautiful 8-year-old dapple-gray, registered Missouri Fox Trotter gelding with impressive bloodlines. His sire was ranked among the top 5 breeding sires in the Missouri Fox Trotter Association in 2019. We have taken Cotton on countless camping and trail riding trips, and he has plenty of miles under his belt. He crosses water, logs, ditches, and other trail obstacles without hesitation. Whether you’re heading out for a short afternoon ride or spending the day exploring new trails, Cotton is a pleasure to ride. One thing that really stands out about Cotton is just how smooth he is to ride! His incredibly smooth gait makes covering miles on the trails a breeze. He also transitions nicely from his gait into a lope, lopes circles, and picks up both leads. Between his beautiful dapple gray coat and smooth way of traveling, he is sure to catch some attention on the trails! Cotton has also been used around the farm to check and gather cattle, and we have taken him to local fun shows. I enjoy having a horse that can do a little bit of everything, and Cotton has been just that. One of Cotton’s sweetest qualities is his personality! He absolutely loves attention and is usually the first one to meet you at the gate. You won’t have to spend your afternoon chasing him around the pasture because he’s easy to catch and always happy to see you coming! He also stands well for the farrier, bathing, and fly spray. With Cotton’s experience and easygoing nature, we think he could suit riders of almost any level, as long as they understand the basics. He has been a pleasure to have around the farm, both in and out of the saddle. Cotton is a handsome gelding with a smooth gait, a sweet personality, and plenty of real-world riding experience. Be sure to take a look at his video to see more of what Cotton has to offer, and let us know if you have any questions!

Kentucky Horses: Thoroughbreds, Gaited Breeds and More

Kentucky is famous for its horses. Lexington calls itself the Horse Capital of the World, the Kentucky Derby is run at Churchill Downs in Louisville, and the Bluegrass region is known for its Thoroughbred farms. A search of horses for sale in Kentucky can turn up sport horses, ranch horses, trail horses and breeding stock, and the filters on this page help you compare them by breed, age, price and location, whether you want a gaited trail horse, a Thoroughbred, a Quarter Horse or a pony.

Horses for Sale in Lexington, Louisville and Across the State

To look for horses for sale in Lexington KY or horses for sale in Louisville KY, enter the city or county in the City / County box, or browse farms and small towns across the state. Narrow the listings by breed, gender, age, height, color, discipline and price, and open a seller’s profile to see everything they have for sale. The state is also the birthplace of gaited breeds such as the Rocky Mountain Horse and the Kentucky Mountain Saddle Horse, and the American Saddlebred is closely associated with Kentucky too.

Buying a Horse in Kentucky

Price depends on the individual horse rather than the state, so compare similar horses before you make an offer, and ride a gaited horse before you buy to confirm that its gait is comfortable for you. If you are buying from out of state, ask the seller about the health paperwork required to cross state lines, get quotes for hauling, and agree a trial ride and a pre-purchase veterinary exam before you commit. Compare horses by age, training and temperament, ask for photos and video, and contact the seller through the listing to arrange a visit before you decide. Use the Discipline filter if you need a trail, pleasure or show horse, and the Gender filter for mares, geldings or stallions. Looking for something else?

Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of horses are for sale in Kentucky?

Kentucky listings can include Thoroughbreds, Saddlebreds, Quarter Horses, ponies and crosses, along with gaited breeds such as the Rocky Mountain Horse, Kentucky Mountain Saddle Horse and Tennessee Walking Horse. Use the Breed filter on this page to focus on the type you want, whether that is Quarter Horses for sale in Kentucky, ponies or walking horses, and read each description to see what the horse has been trained to do.

Where can I find horses for sale in Lexington KY or Louisville?

Enter Lexington or Louisville in the City / County box on this page to look for horses for sale in Lexington KY or horses for sale in Louisville Kentucky, or filter by state and browse everything in Kentucky. Open a listing to see the seller’s town, and buy close to home when you can so that you can visit and ride the horse.

Are there Kentucky Mountain Saddle Horses and other gaited horses for sale in Kentucky?

Kentucky is home to several gaited breeds, so this is a good place to look. Filter the listings by breed to find a Kentucky Mountain Saddle Horse for sale, a Rocky Mountain Horse or a Tennessee Walking Horse, then check each one for the horse’s gait, training and registration. A gaited horse should be ridden before you buy, so arrange a trial ride with the seller.

How much do horses cost in Kentucky?

Price depends on the horse rather than the state. Breed, age, training, registration, bloodlines and discipline all matter, so a young prospect and a finished trail or show horse are priced very differently. Use the price filter to see what Kentucky sellers are asking today, and compare similar horses before you make an offer.

Are there Thoroughbreds for sale in Kentucky?

Thoroughbreds are listed by their sellers like any other breed, so use the Breed filter on this page to look for a Thoroughbred for sale in Kentucky. If you are considering one, ask about its age, racing or training history, soundness and registration, and what it is being sold to do next, and have a veterinarian perform a pre-purchase exam before you buy.

How do I get a horse home from Kentucky?

You can haul the horse yourself with a suitable trailer, or hire a commercial horse hauler, and it is worth getting quotes before you agree on a price. Ask the seller whether they can help arrange transport or meet partway, and plan rest stops and water for a long trip. Check the health papers you will need to cross state lines before you set off.

How do I contact a seller in Kentucky?

Every listing has a Message Seller button and the seller’s phone number and email address behind a reveal button. If you can, visit the horse and ride it, and request the papers and health history in writing before you agree a price.
