The French Trotter was developed in Normandy, France. In 1815, after the continental trading blockade was lifted, the Normandy breeders began to breed horses using the all-purpose Norman stock of horses as a foundation ... The French Trotter is a strong horse with powerful, sloping quarters. The French Trotter is much like the Thoroughbred in appearance with long, raking action and good shoulders. The average height of the breed is 16.2 hh and the best-ridden trotters are the bigger horses. The French Trotter is [a hardy] animal with lots of stamina. The national studs are the main breeding centers of Le Pin and Saint Lo. Also known as: Trotteur francais, Anglo-Norman Trotter, Norman Trotter. 3, record 6, English, - French%20trotter

The Missouri Fox Trotter was developed in the rugged Ozark Mountains during the nineteenth century by setters who needed smooth-riding, durable mounts that could travel at a comfortable, surefooted gait for long distances. ... The breeding of this stock was largely Arabian, Morgan and plantation horses from the deep south. Later more American Saddlebred, Tennessee Walking and Standardbred breeding was added. It soon became apparent that horses able to perform the easy, broken gait called the "fox trot" were the most useful in the rocky, forest-covered hills of the Ozarks, and selective breeding of the fox trot gait began. 3, record 7, English, - Missouri%20Fox%20trotter

El Fox Trotter se desarrolló a principios del siglo XIX en las montañas Ozark de Missouri, en Estados Unidos. Es un caballo muy conocido por su aire amblado (de ahí lo de "Fox trot"). Posee una habilidad natural para ir al paso con las manos al trote con los pies. Esta habilidad puede resaltarse con un cuidadoso adiestramiento, con el que se logra que el caballo sea muy cómodo para montar. 2, record 7, Spanish, - caballo%20trote%2Dzorro%20de%20Misuri
