Welcome to FoxTROT's blogspot!

If you trail ride in Tennessee on a Missouri Fox Trotting (MFT) horse, then this site is for you! Whether you live in Tennessee or travel here to ride, we invite you to participate. Our desire is to provide an association that will enhance the enjoyment of trail riding the MFT. FoxTROT is an affiliate of the Missouri Fox Trotting Horse Breed Association.

Catching Up! Summer 2011...

Oh My! How time does fly! It was a very busy summer and now it's gone. Between computer problems, miscommunication, and too much to do, the blogspot has been neglected....Please forgive. There's no way I can remember all of the stories to go with all of these pics. Let it suffice to say that below you'll find a selection of photos from our rides at Harmon Den, NC; Mount Cammerer, GSMNP; and the Summer National Trail Ride, Orchard Cove Stables, GSMNP. I hope you enjoy!

We have a plan to do better, I promise! Donna Maurer will be posting some of the Middle Tennessee summer pics soon. Also, I'll be posting a story and pics about the MFTHBA Show and Celebration in Ava, 3 - 10 September. Terry Messex, Jaime Whiteaker, Deb and I had a great time in Ava! The Southeastern MFTHBA National Trail Ride and Foxtrotter Affair is right upon us, 29 September - 2 October! We'll have a story and pics on that great event by the middle of October. So, stay tuned....and keep checking back!

Happy Trails,

Sam Gerhardt
President, FoxTROT
