Twin Oaks Joyce Fox Horse for sale Missouri Brunswick

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.

The Grand and Missouri Rivers come together near Brunswick.

Lewis and Clark set up camp on the edge of Brunswick,

and noted, it was beautiful, rich country.

We breed, raise, and show Foundation Quarter Horses, and have a small cow/calf operation.

We have performance ranch horses for sale and offer riding instruction.

I enjoy helping people, young and old, to have a greater appreciation of their horse,

and would love to help you.

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 do not make my living as a professional trainer, nor have I won any national titles, I have won numerous state honors in Missouri and Oklahoma, and I have always broke and trained my own horses.

I have been fortunate to have had two above average game horses so far 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, and am called on to judge several shows a year.

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 broke and trained by a little girl who loved horses

and had great determination to ride. God was watching over me!

I started showing 4-H at eight and have never stopped.

Since then, I have broke and trained too many to count, helped many people learn to ride, and accomplish showing goals in many disciplines.

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 trail. We can check to see if we have a problem fixed without ever leaving the place.

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 finishes the training themselves, 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, tune up their current horse,

working through any behavioral problems together,

or bring their broke horse and learn to how ride and communitcate better. I also have horses and tack for the beginning rider to explore the possibility of horse ownership without the investment. I highly advise beginers to start with this approach before they buy a horse, so they have a better idea of the kind of horse they need before they make a purchase.

When you send your horse to a trainer to fix a 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 understand how to 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. My goal is for everyone to leave feeling confident that they are a horse trainer.

Rustic Country Decor

Primitive…of or pertaining to a former time; old-fashioned; characterized by simplicity. Country…Rural not the city. Rustic…of, relating to, or suitable for the country; characteristic of, or resembling country people; appropriate to the country, plain or sturdy.

These describe our primitive rustic country pieces. Each piece is made of pine, hand sanded, and painted with special care to distress in just the right place, for that loved, worn look. We enjoy making unique signs for every room in your home and barn. If you have that spot that you can never seem to fill with the right sized cabinet or shelf, no problem we can custom fit a piece just for you with little or no extra charge. We can also make your item in the color you want to compliment your décor’. I love helping people come up with new ideas for storage and remixing items with their decor.

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.
