West Gait is a private ranch located in the Foothills of the Rocky Mountains specializing in raising quality Missouri Fox Trotter horses for pleasure, trial, and versatility riding.

Nicole is passionate about the Fox Trotter and the acreage lifestyle.

Our goal is to develop a breeding program which will highlight what the Missouri Fox Trotter has to offer.

Our detailed training program is based on foal imprinting and natural horsemanship.

Since Nicole was a little girl she has loved horses.  It was not until she was in her early 20’s that she could afford to own and take care of her very own horse.  Over the next 30 years’, horses have always been in her life.  As Nicole’s horse journey advanced she recognized not only was having a well-trained horse important but the significance of having a well breed horse, particularly as it relates to the gaited horse breed, was equally important.
