Indian Creek Equine Center specializes in Missouri Fox Trotters. They are bred and trained to be trail horses. We have raised and trained more NATRC horses in the last few years than any other equine breeder.

Fox Trotters have flat, angular, Arabian, or thoroughbred-type muscles. These are endurance muscles that contain oxygen-burning slow twitch fibers, meaning they are aerobic-functioning only in the presence of a steady supply of oxygen. Horses are born with a predetermined proportion of these genetic-inherited muscle fibers.

Hinkebein horses are becoming a recognized force in the NATRC world by serious competitors already claiming national and regional championships, as well as numerous ride wins and placings. In the past 18 years, Indian Creek Equine Center has produced 17 horses that have received 38 National Championships and have consistently been in the top placings in the region and nation.


Country Gold, prize-winning stallion  (16626 bytes)

Hickory's Country Gold (pictured above) was inducted into the NATRC Horse Hall of Fame during the 1997 National Convention in Kansas City, Missouri. He is pictured here with his owner/trainer, William (Bill) Hinkebein.

Country Gold is a fifth generation stallion over a 40-year span that has been selected as a champion for performance, attitude, willingness, trail sense, gait, and speed. He is an athlete in a sport that requires more conditioning than in his every-day existence as a trail riding pleasure horse. His attitude and ability are consistent year after year. The parents of Country Gold were selected for their ability to travel long distances at a fast 5-10 mph pace. Country Gold's stud fee is $300.00.
