Zeke is a 14.2h, beautiful buckskin gelding. He is a registered, 4-year-old Missouri Foxtrotter. Since we raise our own horses, Zeke is named after my nephew. Zeke’s cover picture shows little handsome Zeke on big handsome Zeke!

PEDIGREE — Zeke is out of Southern Sunrises Hotshot, our herd sire. We chose Hotshot because he is our favorite son from the immortal Southern Sunrise. Hotshot has won the Top 5 Breeding Stallion Award for four years by the MFTHBA. Here is the attached award:
Southern Sunrises Hotshot Named Top 5 Breeding Sire
The MFTHBA congratulates Southern Sunrises Hotshot on being named a Top 5 MFTHBA Breeding Sire. Owned by Larry Stevens of Marshfield, Missouri, Southern Sunrises Hotshot is named a Top 5 Breeding Sire for the fourth time. Bred by Larry Stevens of Marshfield, Missouri, Southern Sunrises Hotshot is making his mark by being the sire of horses registered in the MFTHBA’s Pony Registry. Southern Sunrises Hotshot was sired by Southern Sunrise and out of Missouri’s Jealousee (by Missouri Traveler E).
The MFTHBA thanks Larry Stevens for his contributions to the future generations of Missouri Fox Trotters through his stallion Southern Sunrises Hotshot. Southern Sunrises Hotshot and Mr. Stevens will be formally recognized for this accomplishment at the 2023 MFTHBA World Show & Celebration.
The Breeding Sire of the Year award was established by the MFTHBA Membership Committee to recognize stallions providing a significant impact on the continuation of the breed. In addition, the award was designed to encourage foal registration in a timely manner, which helps the MFTHBA in its task to preserve the breed registry.
The criteria for the award are simple:
• All stallions who submit an on-time stallion breeding report are eligible.
• The 2022 Top Breeding Sires represent the stallions with the most foals born in 2022 and registered with the MFTHBA by December 31, 2022.

TEMPERAMENT — Zeke loves to please you! He will do anything you ask of him! He is smart and a fast learner! If he sees or hears you, he will come to greet you!

GAIT — Oh My Goodness! Zeke is so happy and not to mention so beautiful from his head to the tip of his tail when he’s gaiting! He has the most amazing, smooth gait and loves doing it. Getting him into his gait is easy, and he will stay in it until you cue him to do otherwise. He will gait smoothly with a bridle with a loose rein. Just take a look in his video at his natural, beautiful tail while gaiting! Zeke also has a nice lope that he enjoys. He will lope in both leads.

EXPERIENCE — Zeke was raised by us and started lightly by myself when he was two and a half years old. Zeke has been camping and trail-ridden extensively on our land and various other places in the Ozark Mountains, including Compton Hollow, Wilson Creek, and Hot Springs.
