Missouri Fox Trotters are used extensively by trail riders, who appreciate their gaits, stamina and weight-carrying abilities. They are also used in handicapped riding programs, and their smooth gait has proven useful for riders with minor physical disabilities. Crosses between Fox Trotter mares and donkey jacks are often made, creating mules with the fox trot gait that are used to carry hunters and trail riders, especially in the western United States. Collect A horses are created by Deborah McDermott, a sculptor living in Southern California. She grew up as a typical horse-crazy little girl who loved horse models and drawing horses. She never dreamed that someday her equine sculptures would be used as the basis of a new model horse collection created by Collect A! As a sculptor, she observes the anatomy, movement and expressions of horses as well as their unique qualities that make each horse an individual.
