About Brunswick Missouri
   
 Welcome to Twin Oaks Enterprises
Brunswick MO
Larry and Joyce Fox
 
 We have 120 acres in
Chariton County, near Brunswick,
the Pecan Capital of Missouri,
where the Grand and Missouri
Rivers come together. 
Lewis and Clark set up camp here and noted, it was beautiful, rich country.
 
We breed, raise, and show Foundation Quarter Horses.  We have performance ranch horses for sale
and offer riding instruction. 
I have helped many people, young and old, to have a greater appreciation of their horse. 
We also have a small cow/calf operation.  Along with our horse matching services we manage to keep busy. 
 

 

  Inside the barn
The property has a 60X63 covered riding area, perfect for round penning horses and maintaining control of beginning riders.  The barn has six 12X15 stalls and two smaller 9x12 stalls.  We also have a riding area out side with obstacles to enhance training for challenging trail competitions.  Our wooded trails are great for short walks and introducing horses to the trailWe can check to see if we have a problem fixed without ever leaving the place.

 

I have been around horses my whole life and broke my first horse at age seven.  She was purchased by my dad for $7.00.  She was not broke and trained by one wise in the ways of the horse.  Just a little girl who loved horses
and had great determination to ride.  God was watching over me!
Since then, I have broke and trained too many to count, helped many people learn to ride, and accomplish showing goals. 
 
I have been in the Transportation Industry for over twenty five years, starting from the ground up learning the business. I am assistant operations manager of a forty plus truck line based in Marshall MO.
While I am not a professional trainer, nor have I won any national titles, I have won numerous state honors in Missouri and Oklahoma. I have been fortunate to have had two above average game horses in my life. Both excelled in barrels, and ran pole bending patterns of under 20 seconds, with 20 to 21 second averages. I have trained and shown my own horses in state wide circuits with success.  I have broke and trained for other people for many years. 
  I am now convinced that those clients who wish to learn to communicate
with their horse, learn and have greater success when the client rides and trains their own horse, with me only occasionally riding the horse. I assist and guide them though the training process from the ground by driving the horse, and on horseback.  They can choose to break the horse from the very beginning, or tune up their current horse working through any behavioral problems together.  
 
When you send your horse to a trainer to fix the problem, I don't consider the problem to be fixed until you the rider understands what caused the problem, and how to keep it from coming back.  
In other words,
the problem is never really fixed,
until you can fix it yourself. 
 
When you put your money in yourself, you can use it on every horse you own.  I believe this approach lets the horse and the rider become confident together, and the rider goes home knowing that they can ride their horse, because they have been riding their horse.  The horse doesn't go home and stand in the pasture for four weeks before they get the nerve to try him out.  They know they can ride him because they trained the horse.

Peppys babies are quick learners and very easy to be around, and not too bad to look at.   He is allowing color on colored mares most of the time.  We broke and rode him as a 2 and 3 year old but never showed him much.  Just used him gathering cattle and trail riding.  He is very cowy and working off a rope came natural for him.  He is only about 14.3 and is very stocky.  His foals are straight with great hips and he is throwing pretty nice heads on most crosses.

I have been showing Doc in ranch and foundation type shows and he is doing well.  He excels in Trail Classes, and is coming on in Reining.  He shows interest in the cows and I am starting to work him on cattle a little.  I use him for riding lessons, and he is very quiet around other horses, and he is my trail riding horse too.  He has a great disposition and gives you everything he's got.  I have had two professional trainers ride him in clinics and both commented on his ability and willingness to please.  We are very excited to get his first foal crop on the ground.
