Strawberry is a 5-year-old, DNA-d, registered (MFTPR) Missouri Foxtrotting gelding. He is a stunning red roan with a lot of chrome! Strawberry was born, raised, and started right here on our farm in Marshfield, Missouri. He is a grandson of Southern Sunrise and a son of Southern Sunrise’s Hotshot (see photo). Strawberry was first ridden by my dad, Larry Stevens, when he was 79 years old. Knowing his calm disposition since he was born, and knowing his sire, grandsire, dam, etc., I was sure with his gentle soul that it was safe to “throw my leg” on him for his first ride. With extensive trail-riding experience, Strawberry has explored beautiful locations such as Eminence, MO; Brushy Creek in Black, MO; Busiek State Park in Branson, MO; historic Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield in Republic, MO; Smittle Cave territory; and Compton Hollow Conservation land, to name a few. Strawberry thrives in diverse environments, from busy towns to serene trails in the Ozark mountains.
