Alford Stables Joins the 2015 Stallion Tour as a Host Barn

Their involvement expands from being a stallion owner to host barn in 2015. “We are very excited to have Alford Stables serve as one of our host barns this year,” said Amber Wilson, Stallion Tour committee member. “JoAnn Alford approached us in 2013 about the Stallion Tour using their amazing facility in 2015. We told her we would love to have Alford Stables as a host.” Sadly, Mrs. Alford passed away in 2014.

“Alford Stables has been in the Missouri Fox Trotting horse business for over 40 years. We are conveniently located in the heart of Fox Trotting country in Buffalo, Missouri, approximately 30 miles north of Springfield just off US Highway 65. We offer show, breeding and trail horses for sale and have an impeccable lineup of breeding stallions. The quality of our horses is second to none. Our horses are intelligent, willing athletes who will serve you well whatever your needs. They have been successful in the show ring, have excelled on the trail, appeared in the Tournament of Roses Parade and served as therapeutic riding horse for the physically challenged. You really need to come and see them to fully appreciate our horses.”
