<br />
<br />
What a wonderful year 2016 has been! Our membership has grown and
our national trail rides have been successful! It's now time to get
ready for 2017!<br />
<br />
<br />
Of course, the first item is to assure that you <b>renew or establish
your FoxTROT membership</b>. Your support and participation in our
Tennessee Affiliate of the MFTHBA is greatly appreciated and much
needed. An email has been sent out to many with the 2017 FoxTROT Membership Application attached. If you did not receive that but would like to be a part, contact me for your <b>FoxTROT Membership Application</b> for<b> 2017</b>. Please print, complete and return with dues <b>as soon as possible, but not later than 31 January 2017.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
The second item is to encourage that you <b>renew or establish your MFTHBA membership</b>. Contact the office in Ava (417-683-2468) or go to the website (<a class="x_OWAAutoLink" href="http://www.mfthba.com/" id="LPlnk148763" target="_blank">www.mfthba.com</a>)
to accomplish this. MFTHBA membership supports the breed registry,
without which we have no horse. MFTHBA member benefits specific for
Trail Riders include the opportunity to earn awards in the MFTHBA
National Trail Ride and Fox Trot America programs, discounted membership
in the new Open Trail/Top Trail program (<a class="x_OWAAutoLink" href="http://www.opentrail.us/" id="LPlnk964956" target="_blank">www.opentrail.us</a>
and www.toptrailhorse.net) and discounts at horse camps in Tennessee
and around the country. It also includes discounts with TrailGuard (<a class="x_OWAAutoLink" href="http://www.trailguard.org/" id="LPlnk538438" target="_blank">www.trailguard.org</a>), which provides superior roadside assistance for those of us who travel with and trailer our horses. <span>FoxTROT strongly encourages our members to also support our national organization with membership.</span><br />
<span><br />
</span><br />
<span>The third item to share is <b>our schedule for 2017</b>.
FoxTROT will be representing the MFTHBA at the <b>Southern Equine Expo</b>
(www.southernequineexpo.com) in the Miller Coliseum, 24-26 February
2017. This will be our first time to participate in this event!
Additional volunteers will be welcome to help man the booth. The<b>
FoxTROT Spring National Trail Ride</b> is set for 4-7 May 2017 in the Big
South Fork out of Zenith Stables and Campground (<a class="x_OWAAutoLink" href="http://www.zenithstables.com/" id="LPlnk885457" target="_blank">www.zenithstables.com</a>),
Allardt, TN. Contact Bruce or Sharon at 931-879-5252 for
reservations. The<b> FoxTROT Octoberfest @ East Fork National Trail Ride</b>

</span><br />
<span></span><br />
The fourth item to share is that several of us of FoxTROT are planning
to return to Ava, MO, for the World Show, Celebration, and National
Trail Ride, 3-10 September 2017. We had such a wonderful experience
this year that many of us want to return! If you're interested in
joining us, just let me know and I'll be happy to give the needed info.<br />
<br />
<br />
Well, that'll do for now. We're looking forward to another great
year in 2017 and trust that you will be a part of that! As always, if
you have any questions or concerns just let us know. If you're on FaceBook, be sure to find "FoxTROT" and "Like" us. You'll have almost daily contact with us there!<br />
<br />
Happy Trails,<br />

<br />
We're now into 2016. The Holidays have come and gone. We're all looking forward to longer warmer days. Even as I look out at this year's first good snow in East Tennessee, I know that Spring riding season will be here soon.<br />
<br />
I trust that you've taken care of those necessary Fox Trotter things that need to be done this time of year; renewal of your MFTHBA and FoxTROT memberships, getting your 2015 Fox Trot America logs in to Ava, making your reservations for both the June "Longhorns and Wild Ponies NTR" at Mount Rogers, VA, and the September World Show and Celebration NTR at Ava, MO.<br />
<br />
The election results are in for the 2016 FoxTROT Board of Directors. This year's officers are Pesident - Sam Gerhardt, Vice President - Lea Valentine, Secretary - Rose Walter, Treasurer - Tania Herke, Eastern Rep - Lloyd Styles, Central Rep - Vacant, Western Rep - Vacant. We appreciate those who are willing to serve in these positions, a couple having served for many years. If you're in Central or Western Tennessee, willing to actively participate in our organized NTRs, willing to promote Fox Trotters and plan day rides in your region of the state, we'd appreciate your consideration of these vacant board positions.<br />
<br />
Enjoy these pics taken during our last NTR back in October out of Bandy Creek in the Big South Fork...<br />

<br />
Greetings FoxTROT and Friends,<br />
<br />
Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!! With my use of FaceBook for so much of my communications, It's been awhile since I've updated the blogspot! There is much info I need to get to you so here goes!<br />
<br />
The <b>Eastern States MFTHBA National Trail Ride</b> held in the Mount Rogers (Virginia) National Recreation Area, 17-21 June, was a great success! Attendees said that it was the most beautiful and appreciated trail ride in the history of FoxTROT! Considering all the wonderful places we've ridden, that says a lot! We rode high open spaces among the wild ponies and the long horn cattle! There were 19 riders (14 of which were MFTHBA members riding registered MFTs) representing Tennessee, Virginia, Ohio, Indiana and Missouri! The photos tell the story!<br />

<br />
The <b>2015 FoxTROT MFTHBA National Trail Ride</b> is now less than two weeks away. We'll camp and ride out of Bandy Creek Campground and Stables in the Big South Fork, 21-25 October. Most of us will be camping in "Section C", which is now full, but there may still be campsites available in other sections of the campground. For campsite reservations, contact 877-444-6777 or <a href="http://www.recreation.gov/" target="">http://www.recreation.gov</a>. For stall reservations, contact Bobby York by texting or calling 931-397-1680. Be sure to tell Bobby that you're with the Fox Trotter group. Besides the wonderful trail riding for which FoxTROT is so well known, we'll have a special music concert performed for us by our friend, Adrian Ray (<a href="http://www.adrianray.com/" target="">http://www.adrianray.com</a>), on Friday or Saturday evening. Sometime during the event, Lloyd Styles, FoxTROT/MFTHBA member and professional farrier, will do a clinic on proper trimming/shoeing of our MFTs. Of course, as is our custom, we'll do Cowboy Church on Sunday morning before everyone breaks camp to head home. Be sure to bring your MFTHBA Membership Card (or at least have your number) and your MFT's Registration Papers (or at least have the registered name and registration number of your MFT). This helps us in completing the NTR forms. Oh! Each FoxTROT member who comes to ride this NTR with us will receive a special gift in appreciation for your support and participation! We're looking forward to seeing each of you!<br />
<br />
As the end of the year approaches, it's time to be thinking about a couple of things related to your continued participation in FoxTROT and the MFTHBA. You'll want to <b>renew your FoxTROT and MFTHBA memberships for 2016</b>. An email with your 2016 FoxTROT Membership Application was sent out on 30 September 2015. Be sure to look for that in your inbox! If you didn't receive that email and are interested in joining/rejoining FoxTROT, send a note to me at smfoxtrotters@hotmail.com. Those attending the NTR will be given an opportunity to renew with FoxTROT at a special rate while at Bandy Creek. The MFTHBA will be sending your 2016 membership renewals separate from us. As always, we encourage all of our affiliate members to also support our breed association through membership in the MFTHBA. It's also time to consider nominations for FoxTROT Board of Directors positions. Rose Walter, our current Central Tennessee Representative, is no longer in Central Tennessee. So, the Central Tennessee Rep position will be open for 2016. If you're interested in serving in that position, let me know. (Rose is interested in serving as our Secretary in the 2016 year and has already been of help to me in that capacity.) While we have a vacant spot for a Western Tennessee Rep on our board, no one has ever shown an interest in filling that position. If you are located in the western side of the state and are interested, let me know that as well. Those who are serving in the other board positions (President, Vice President, Treasurer and Eastern Rep) are content with remaining in place, unless, of course, someone else would really like to take their place! If you'd like to nominate someone to fill ANY of these positions, please consider this as your notice to do so. All nominations must be received by me not later than November 1st, 2015. After discussing these board positions at the Bandy Creek NTR, and after you've had an opportunity to consider this notice and respond, we'll be sending out the 2016 Election Ballot. Be watching for that, as well. Please consider and be attentive to these FoxTROT/MFTHBA things as you head into all of your end of the year activities.<br />
<br />
The <b>National Trail Ride Schedule for 2016 </b>has been discussed a great deal among the BoD. The Mount Rogers, Virginia, ride was so well liked that we're planning to return to that area again for the Summer 2016 NTR! If you missed our ride there in June, you'll want to make plans to join us next year! More info will be provided later, but as for now the plan is to camp and ride out of either Rocky Hollow Horse Camp or the Grayson Highlands State Park, 22-26 June 2016. The Fall 2016 NTR is the ride about which we're most excited! We're going to the MFTHBA World Show and Celebration in Ava, Missouri, 4-11 September 2016! We'll camp and stall horses on the Ava Show Grounds; we'll participate in the National Trail Ride (we're working to be "cohosts" of that NTR); and we'll enjoy all of the other activities associated with the World Show and Celebration! If you've always wanted to go to Ava, but didn't want to go alone for the first time, now's your chance! Again, more info will be provided as the details are settled. As you can see, we have much for which to prepare in 2016. Mark your calendars and start making your plans! You won't want to miss out on any of these events!<br />
<br />
Well, that's more than enough for now. If you are on FaceBook, be sure to find and "Like" the FoxTROT page and the MFTHBA Trail Programs group. Contact me with any questions or concerns. Enjoy your Fox Trotters on the trail this Fall. We hope to see many of you soon at the NTR!<br />

Happy Trails,<br />

The 2014 Eastern States MFTHBA National Trail was a success.<br />
This year’s ride was held at Mammoth Cave Horse Camp in Mammoth Cave, KY where
we rode the trails of the Mammoth Cave National Park. The trail ride took place
June 18-22, 2014. While the group was not as large as in years past due to
family and work situations, those in attendance had a wonderful time. We had
riders from Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and Virginia. It was great to finally meet people face to
face that have become friends over the internet. While the weather may have
been slightly warm, we were able to rise and ride early and had some great
trips. The staff at Mammoth Cave Horse Camp allowed us to use several trailers
to reach the farther out trail heads.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our first ride on Thursday left from camp to venture out on
the First Creek Trail. First Creek has a small waterfall about 2/3 of the way
out to the lake. After a short rest and picture op we headed on to the lake
where the large group split into two smaller groups. The shorter ride group
completed the loop around the lake and headed back to camp, while the longer
riders continued out on the First Creek Loop. On Friday we loaded the horses on
the trailer and headed to the Maple Springs trail head. We rode the trails back
to camp, and sent a few guys back to get the trucks and trailers. These trails
had just reopened this year after being closed for several years due to storm
damage. On Saturday we trailered out to Maple Springs again. This time we rode
the Maple Spring Loop and returned to the trailers to
load back up and return to camp.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
One of the perks of riding early was the opportunity to
visit Mammoth Cave itself. Several took the opportunity to take a trip down
into the cave and reveal in a different type of awesome.<o:p></o:p><br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Once again, the Eastern States MFTHBA National Trail Ride
was an overwhelming success. Members of FoxTROT and several affiliates gathered
on October 9-13 at the Big South Fork National River & Recreation Area near
Jamestown, TN. This year we selected Timber Ridge Horse Campground as our base
camp. Lee and Josh did a great job of welcoming everyone and getting them
settled into their camping spot and the horses in their stalls or corrals. We
were fortunate to have the best weather ever for this year’s ride. We had sunny
days and cool crisp nights with nary a sight of rain! We had riders from Illinois,
Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Georgia, Alabama, Connecticut and Tennessee. The
MFTHBA administration was even represented with the presence of the Region 10 Representative,
Mr. John Brandreth. We had members show up as early as Monday the 7<sup>th</sup>,
while others stayed until Monday the 14<sup>th</sup>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Throughout the week, we had several small groups
venturing out on rides of varying lengths and destinations. On Thursday, we
assembled almost 30 riders for a group picture to start the day. After starting
out together, we broke into two groups with the large group riding to Christian
Cemetery and the other group riding Proctor Ridge to the Teepee loop through
the Spruce Creek Area. On Friday, we gathered 44 riders for the picture to
start the morning and together we rode the yellow loop of the Ridge Top trail
Area. On Saturday, a hearty group of 24 long distance riders gathered, including
some friends from Spruce Creek, and rode a 26 mile loop via Darrow Rd, Christian
Cemetery, a portion of the O & W railroad bed trail, Laurel Fork Overlook,
Teepee Loop and Proctor Ridge. Needless to say a lot of tired riders missed
supper on Saturday.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Along with the trail riding, the fellowship that occurs
at our gatherings is outstanding. On Wednesday we had cake and ice cream for
Chris Moore’s 11<sup>th</sup> birthday. On Friday, Josh and Lee smoked Ribs,
Brisket, Chicken and Pulled Pork while everybody else brought dessert and side
dishes. I don’t think anybody went away hungry. On Saturday we had reservations
for 30 at 6:00 pm for Bacarra’s, but due to the length of the trail ride it
changed to 18 at 7:30. It was still a good time with great food and
conversation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">On Friday, the yearly organizational meeting for FoxTROT
took place. The majority of the officers were re-elected with Tania Herke being
the lone newbie in assuming the Treasurer’s position. The selection of base
camps for next year’s Eastern States National Trail Ride in June and the
FoxTROT National Trail Ride in October were discussed and voted on. We selected
Mammoth Cave Horse Camp in Kentucky for June and Bandy Creek in Big South Fork
for October. Negotiations and reconnaissance are currently underway with these
locations. Confirmed dates and locations will be announced as soon as possible.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The big hit of the Trail Ride other than the riding may
have been the Raffle which raised $425.00 for FoxTROT! Terry Messex had obtained a head stall donated
by Bedford Tack, while Sam & Debby Gerhardt obtained an oil skin horn bag
and a MFTHBA Trailer Decal (Large Scale). The lucky winner of these prizes was
John Brandreth. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

donated from several of our campground sponsors and those lucky winners were:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The Felix Walter Memorial FoxTROT National Trail Ride
took place June 19-23 at beautiful Orchard Cove Stables in the Great Smoky
Mountains of East Tennessee. This trail ride was renamed this year in honor of
Felix Walter, who we lost last November. Felix was an original member of
FoxTROT and Sam Gerhardt brags on how much Felix and Rose means to the group.
It was an honor to be able to participate in this trail ride.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">FoxTROT once again had a multi-state assemblage of riders
with the states of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Georgia and Tennessee represented.
Orchard Cove was sold out well in advance of the trip and was filled to
capacity with horses and riders alike. On Thursday, the group took the familiar
trek up the hill and into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park to ride the
School House Gap Trail. On Friday, the first round of loading the trailers with
horses and cars with people was completed with the destination being the back
side of Cades Cove to make the ride up to Gregory Bald. On Saturday, the
trailers were loaded once again and the group was off to Tremont to ride the
loop. After riding up the mountain at Tremont and a stop to walk to the
waterfall, one group began the return trip back the same trail while the other
group continued up and over the mountain to complete the loop. We easily could
have done without the axle failure on the one horse trailer, but the important
thing was everyone made it back safely.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

A small but faithful group joined FoxTROT for the <strong>Southeastern MFTHBA National Trail Ride</strong> held at Many Cedars Campground near Hohenwald, Tennessee back in June 2012. It was HOT but we rode early and enjoyed the rides anyway! Friday, while out on the trail, I received a phone call telling me that my Dad had just passed away. The kindness everyone there demonstrated to Deb and I after receiving this news was overwhelming. This is proof that FoxTROT is a great group of caring people we are honored to know and with whom we love to ride. Because of my Dad's passing, we cut this ride short and everyone went home on Saturday morning. Here are just a few of the many pictures that were taken at Many Cedars...</div>

We had a much larger turnout for the <strong>MFTHBA Region 8 National Trail Ride</strong>, 3-7 October 2012. Twenty-three riders registered! There were seven from Ohio, two from Indiana, two from Arkansas, and twelve from Tennessee! Nineteen of the horses were registered Missouri Fox Trotters, two were Tennessee Walking Horses, one was a Kentucky Mountain Horse, and one was a gaited grade horse. This ride was held at True West Campground (<a href="http://www.truewestcampground.com/">http://www.truewestcampground.com</a>) in the Big South Fork. True West has an outstanding facility with excellent customer service! We would recommend them to anyone coming to ride the BSF. The trails of the BSF are second to none! Wednesday, the early arrivers took an easy ride to the Laurel Creek Overlook and back. Thursday was an easy ride around Spruce Creek (an equine community with private trails across from True West) and then a wonderful meal and good times at Bacara's, a one of a kind German restaurant tucked away in the area. The highlight of the event was Friday when we rode the O&W Trail over to the old railroad bridge! This was a twenty plus mile out and back ride with opportunity for lots of "fox trotting" along the White Oak Creek to the bridge. Twenty-two riders divided into three groups (fast, medium and slow) so that each one could enjoy the trip at a pace comfortable to them and their horse. After a full day of riding, we cared for the horses, cleaned up, ate supper, and gathered around the campfire to discuss FoxTROT business and the trail ride schedule for 2013. Saturday morning was a little drizzling rain, so we loaded into several trucks to hit the local saddle and leather shop in Muddy Pond. Muddy Pond is a Mennonite community a few miles out of Jamestown. Jay's Saddle and Leather shop is a favorite place to shop on a rainy day. After we returned to camp we did an easy out and back ride. Saturday evening we enjoyed a catered meal arranged by True West of bar-b-cue and 'nana puddin'. We finished Saturday night with more good times of fun and teasing around the campfire. With Sunday morning came Cowboy Church at the covered deck. True West had graciously posted a sign by the road announcing Cowboy Church and allowed me to post my banner as well. As a result we had a great crowd of over thirty people, many from the campground and several from the community! The message was centered around "water". We've all said, "You can lead a horse to water, but you cant make him drink". As horse people we think about water! When we consider a trail ride we ask the question, is there any water along the way? After a ride we like to rinse our horses off with water. (Some of us even bath our horses in water!) Jesus is the Living Water! Those who are believer's in Christ have experienced the "washing of regeneration (personal salvation)". Growing Christians are sanctified and cleansed "with the washing of water by the word (the Bible)". We concluded the message with the encouragement to think of spiritual water whenever we think about water for our horses. "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. However, you can sure salt his oats!" My message was an attempt to "salt the oats". After Cowboy Church we broke down our campsites, loaded horses, shared hugs, and headed for home. What a great time! Enjoy the pics below!!</div>

I haven't updated the blogspot since January! Please forgive! Anyone want to take this over? Oh well, here goes!<br />
<br />
Our 2012 FoxTROT membership is strong! To date we have 43 members; 26 of those are also members of the MFTHBA. Most of our members are from Tennessee, but we also have members from Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. We may have to rename ourselves the "Dixieland Chapter MFTHBA"! We genuinely appreciate those who have been with FoxTROT from the beginning and look forward to getting to know each new member!<br />
<br />
The Spring Gathering and National Trail Ride in the Smokies was a great success! (See the photos below.) All of the horses participating were Missouri Fox Trotters! The FoxTROT "hard core riders" were all present! Riders came from Tennessee, Ohio, North Carolina and Alabama! The weather was perfect! We rode the Tremont Loop, the Rich Mountain Loop, and the Turkey Pen Loop! Of course, we had to support our favorite Townsend restaurants - The Carriage House for Grouper and The Barbecue Pit for Ribs! The Webb family who own/run Orchard Cove are always excellent hosts! After our evening meals, everyone enjoyed cutting up around the campfire and eating the home made deserts that were brought! Before breaking camp and heading home on Sunday morning, those who attended Cowboy Church were challenged by a message, "Are you a REAL Cowboy?". Trailers were hooked up to trucks, horses were loaded, stalls were cleaned and everyone headed home having had a wonderful time!<br />
<br />
The Southeastern National Trail Ride is just a few weeks away! This ride is being labeled "Southeastern" because, for the first time, all of the MFTHBA Affiliates from the Southeast are cosponsoring this NTR with FoxTROT - Arkansas Chapter MFTHBA, Florida Fox Trotter Association, Louisiana Chapter MFTHBA and NW Arkansas FTHBA. This is also the first time for us to hold a ride out of Many Cedars Horse Camp. Our Middle Tennesse members have been recommending Many Cedars to us for a couple of years. The contact info for Many Cedars is posted above under the 2012 National Trail Rides heading. An email letter has been sent out with more details. If you did not get that email notice, but would like to have it, contact me at <a href="mailto:smfoxtrotters@hotmail.com">smfoxtrotters@hotmail.com</a>. We're expecting a good turn out and some wonderful riding! Be sure to make your reservations right away, if you haven't already done so!<br />
<br />
Before I close, please notice that the name and location of the Fall National Trail Ride has been changed! It is now the "Region 8 MFTHBA National Trail Ride" and is being held at True West Campground and Stables, Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area, Jamestown, TN. You'll find info for reservations under the 2012 National Trail Ride Schedule above. More info will be coming after the Southeastern NTR at Many Cedars.<br />
<br />
Happy Trails, Sam Gerhardt, President, FoxTROT<br />

What will 2012 hold for FoxTROT? The continued growth of FoxTROT's membership? Greater participation in the FoxTROT National Trail Rides? More FoxTROT members getting together more often for local/regional trail rides? FoxTROT members joining the ACTHA and competing in the CTCs? Maybe even an entourage of FoxTROT members traveling to Ava, Missouri for the MFTHBA International Show and Celebration? Whatever 2012 holds, we're hoping that you'll be a part of it!<br />
<br />
If you haven't already done so, it's time to renew your FoxTROT Membership for 2012! E-mail notes have now been sent out twice with the 2012 Membership Application attached. Renewals have begun to arrive in my mail box from Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, and Arkansas! Be sure to contact me if you have lost track of your notice, so I can get one to you. As always, we ask you to spread the word about FoxTROT. Word of mouth is the best way we've found to grow our membership. If you know of others in or around Tennessee who trail ride MFTs, invite them to join FoxTROT. Give them my contact info or send me a note with theirs. Let's do our best to be more involved ourselves and get others involved!<br />
<br />
Make plans to attend all three National Trail Rides! As a member of FoxTROT and the MFTHBA, when you complete 10 National Trail Rides on a registered MFT you'll be awarded one of the beautiful Montana Silversmith buckles as pictured above from the MFTHBA! Additional prizes are available for 20, 30, 40 NTRs! So, in addition to the great fellowship of FoxTROT members around camp and on the trail, you can be marking off your NTRs until you are eligible to be recognized and receive your buckle!<br />
<br />
With winter being dead upon us, many are not able to ride as often as they'd like. However, if there's a sunny day in the 40s and the winds are not too high, you can expect to see us "die hards" (You know who you/we are) headed for a trail head! Anytime you see a nice day in the forecast, be sure to contact one of us in your region as listed above, it's sure that someone will be ready to ride with you!<br />
<br />
Missouri Fox Trotters performed extremely well in last year's ACTHA America's Favorite Trail Horse Challenge with 2 of the 10 finalists being MFTs! Let's do our part to introduce our MFTS to the ACTHA CTCs in Tennessee this year! To date there are 3 ACTHA CTCs scheduled in Tennessee. Notice that there they are located in/near places many of us already ride. We've talked about becoming active in the ACTHA in years past. Let's take a close look at this year's ACTHA CTC schedule and make it happen! Go go http://www.actha.us for all things ACTHA!<br />
<br />
Attending the 2011 MFTHBA International Show and Celebration was a real treat for Deb and I! We had never been before and we thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. It was a very beneficial and educational time for us. The trail rides during the day were wonderful with 30 - 40 MFTs out on the trail! The daily Versatility events had real "cowboy" stuff showing all the talents of our breed! The nightly shows demonstrated the MFT's "flashy" side! Other FoxTROT members attending were Terry Messex and Jaime Whiteaker. We commented at the time that it would be great if we could get a group of FoxTROT members to attend the Show and Celebration in 2012. If you have never been, consider joining us as we hope to return!<br />

There are those such as Nostradamus and the Mayan Calendar which predict all sorts of apocalyptic events for 2012! I think we'll simply continue to trail ride our favorite horses, the Missouri Fox Trotter! We're hoping that you'll come along for the ride!<br />
<br />
Happy Trails,<br />

We had a total of about 30 riders from Indiana, Ohio, Florida, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. Our youngest rider was 16 and our oldest rider was...well, let's just say he was our oldest rider! While most of the horses were Missouri Fox Trotters; we did have an Appaloosa, some Tennessee Walkers, a Rocky Mountain Horse, and even a gaited mule.<br /><br />East Fork Stables is a terrific place to hold this ride. All the necessities are provided or available - stalls, shavings, bath houses, camp sites, cabins, etc. There is a large arena, an equine obstacle course, and a covered pavilion. The Rim Riders store has a nice selection of t-shirts, caps, clothing, boots, some tack items and horse/cowboy "flavored" what-nots, nic-nacs. and furniture. The trails are numerous, mostly wide, well maintained and well marked. Trail maps are detailed and Trail Guides are available upon request. We chose to follow the map without a guide, "ride the edge" and did not venture "over the edge" down into the river gorge. Everyone enjoyed the rides! We took our time, stopping along the way, and making sure that we didn't ride any thing too rough or leave anyone behind. The views through the woods, and along the rim are beautiful. We were able to ride different loops each day with out having to ride the same trails. East Fork Stables provides a place where all - young and old, brave and timid, green and dead broke - can ride in safety and have a tremendous time!<br /><br />During the course of the week we had some pleasant diversions from the trail. The good folk from Crest Ridge Saddlery (http://www.crestridgesaddlery.com) joined us again all week to assist with saddle fit. Debra is always helpful and has a good saddle for our Fox Trotters. Thursday evening a group of 18 went out to Bacarra's, a local German restaurant, which is a special treat. Most fended for themselves through the week for meals at camp and other local restaurants. Ron Munn and Debby Gerhardt did a lot of cooking for many during the week. A big country breakfast around the camp fire is sure good on a chilly Tennessee Fall morning! Friday evening we gathered around the fire to conduct a little FoxTROT business, discussing events for the remainder of 2011 and next year's schedule. We also held our "Ballot Party", which was simply a discussion of the candidates running for positions in the MFTHBA. Sam Gerhardt and Terry Messex were able to provide their insights and suggestions for each position, leaving the final choice to each member. The importance of MFTHBA membership and the influence of the vote was emphasized. On Saturday evening, we pulled all together for a pot luck supper! There was homemade beef vegetable soup with "hoe cakes", Venison Sloppy Joe's, Kentucky Fried Chicken, and German Brats. Of course, there was a bounty of sweets! Apple Cobbler, German Chocolate Cake, Vanilla Wafer Cake....you get the picture! Don Britton, a cowboy poet and western artist, joined us around the fire Saturday evening after our meal. "Bronco", as Don prefers to be called, entertained us with humorous and emotion stirring verse. In addition, Bronco donated several prints of his art which we gave away by a guess of the right numbers between 1 - 50. (Check out Bronco's poetry and art at http://www.donbrittonoriginals.com) Before we were finished, Jaime Whiteaker presented her Foxtrotter Affair Awards which consisted of local pottery, some nice leather and biothane tack, a couple of Fox Trotter bits, and some fun training videos. East Fork Stables arranged for a live band to perform at the pavilion on Saturday night. After our activities several ventured that way to get in on the goings on. Early Sunday morning we gathered for Cowboy Church. Sam Gerhardt led about 20 of us in song and presented a thought provoking challenge from the Scriptures. It is a real blessing that we have an organization that is open to having Cowboy Church. As always, there was something for everyone during this ride!<br /><br />We're already making plans for the 2012 Southeastern MFTHBA National Trail Ride and Foxtrotter Affair! Our tentative dates and location are 4 - 6 October 2012, East Fork Stables. Mark your calendars now and begin making plans to join us next year!<br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /><br /></span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_k1R87sf5_Q/TordqtYt1jI/AAAAAAAABLA/W6ffvW3QwPU/s1600/105_1167.JPG"><img style="display:block;

Summer 2011...<div style="text-align: left;">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!<br /><br />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!<br /><br />Happy Trails,<br /><br />Sam Gerhardt<br />President, FoxTROT<br /><br /><br /><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tMSz10fqSTc/Tn1BSiS893I/AAAAAAAABEA/ZUErJz1gwK4/s1600/101_0607.JPG"><img style="display:block;

With that being said, it is time to bring you all up to date. February through April brought us ice, snow, thunderstorms, tornadoes and hail, but in between all that has been trail riding, Spring flowers and brand new MFT babies! Let me see if I can get this put together for you.</div><br /><div align="justify"></div><br /><div align="justify"><strong>February:</strong> Cold, Icy, Snowy...Need I say more? There were a few nice enough days that the "die hards" (Terry, Ray and Donna, Lea, Sam and Debby, as well as a few others) saddled up and ventured out. Show some of us a sunny day above freezing in February and we're going to hit the trail!</div><br /><div align="justify"></div><br /><div align="justify"><strong>March:</strong> March brought some better days and opportunities to get out. Donna Maurer and the Central FoxTROT group began day riding together a good bit. The members who maintain places at Big South Fork began to get out more as well. Of course, Deb and I were out on our Smoky Mountain Trails. The 2011 FoxTROT Spring Gathering at Catoosa Ridge Stables in Crossville went well for those who were able to join us. However, we were disappointed that cold nasty weather kept many away who had intended to come. In spite of the weather, the 9 or so of us were able to get in good rides on Friday and Saturday. The pot luck meal on Saturday evening was great as we enjoyed the food, fellowship and drawing for the door prizes. Last year we had The Winter Gathering the end of February and froze, this year we had The Spring Gathering the end of March and nearly froze. I say we set The 2012 Spring Gathering for the end of April! Maybe we won't freeze and, hopefully, we won't get blown away in a tornado!</div><br /><div align="justify"></div><br /><div align="justify">We want to acknowledge and give <strong>special thanks to those who so generously donated the door prizes for The 2011 FoxTROT Spring Gathering</strong>. The MFTHBA Promotions Committee (Amber Wilson) sent a nice box of gifts with a value of more than $50.0o. The Horse Emporium (Kathy Kear) in Knoxville gave a ball cap. Heaven's Gait Farm (Jaime Whiteaker) gave a Foxtrotter Affair T-Shirt. The FoxTROT Board gave a 2012 Membership to FoxTROT. True West Campground and Stables (new owners, Shawn and Donna Martin) gave a $100.00 gift certificate. Catoosa Ridge Stables gave two 2011 season passes to day ride. The following Horse Camps gave 2 nights camping with 2 stalls: Catoosa Ridge Stables (CRS gave two 2 nights w/ 2 stalls!), Orchard Cove Stables, Circle E Guest Ranch, The Bolo Club, Big South Fork Lodge, and East Fork Stables. Be sure to support all of these friends this year with your patronage!</div><br /><div align="justify"></div><br /><div align="justify"><strong>April:</strong> Many more day rides as the weather began to improve. The Central FoxTROT group was especially active throughout April. Donna and Terry have done very well at getting folks together to ride in Middle Tennessee. As we all know, the end of April brought the tragic weather to many in the Southeast. To my knowledge, no one in FoxTROT had any major damage to person or property. However, the storms did do much damage at The Seven Springs Lodge in Alabama, causing Central FoxTROT to cancel the planned 3 day ride there for the end of April.</div><br /><div align="justify"></div><br /><div align="justify">Oh! I dare not forget to mention that with springtime comes new "babies"! <strong>Congrats to Lea Valentine and Jaime Whiteaker for the new additions to their Fox Trotter families! </strong></div><br /><div align="justify"></div><br /><div align="justify">Surely, I've left something important out. If so, please forgive me. Enjoy the rest of Spring 2011. Get out, get together and let's Foxtrotting Trail Ride in Tennessee!!</div><br /><br /><div align="justify"></div><br /><div align="justify">Happy Trails, Sam Gerhardt, President, FoxTROT</div></div></div></div></div></div></div>FoxTROThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08596746205939091048noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273362733606880724.post-33115882895754941982011-01-26T13:11:00.003-06:002011-01-27T09:17:17.282-06:00Why Do I like Horses - A PoemWhy do I like horses? I think I must be mad.<br />My mother wasn't horsey - And neither was my dad.<br />But the madness hit me early - And it hit me like a curse.<br />And I've never gotten better. In fact, I've gotten worse.<br />I hardly read a paper - but I know who's sold their horse.<br />And I wouldn't watch the news - Unless Mr. Ed was on, of course.<br />One eye's always on the heavens - But my washing waves in vain<br />As I rush to get the horses in - In case it's gonna rain.<br />I spend up every cent I've got - On horsey stuff for sure<br />I buy saddles, bridles, fancy boots - And then I buy some more.<br />I can't sew on a button - I don't even try<br />But I can back a truck and trailer - In the twinkling of an eye.<br />It's jeans and boots that I live in night and day<br />And that <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">smell</span> of sweaty horses just doesn't wash away.<br />I ache from long forgotten falls. My knees have got no skin.<br />My toes have gone a funny shape - from being stomped on again and again.<br />But late at night, when all is still - and I've gone to give them hay,<br />I touch their velvet softness and my worries float away.<br />They give a gentle nicker and they nuzzle through my hair<br />And I know it's where my heart is - more here than anywhere.<br /><br />Author <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Unknown</span>...Submitted by Karen <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Gagliano</span>, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">FoxTROT</span> TreasurerFoxTROThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08596746205939091048noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273362733606880724.post-76941513463584809992011-01-26T11:17:00.000-06:002011-01-26T11:41:37.127-06:00Minutes from the 2011 Winter Board of Director's MeetingThe 2011 Fox TROT Board of Directors met on January 8, 2011 at Uncle Buck's Restaurant in Sevier County. In attendance were Sam Gerhardt (President), Lea Valentine (Vice President), Samm Riggin (Secretary), Donna Maurer (Mid. TN Rep), Heather Webb (East TN Rep) - as well as members Debby Gerhardt and Ray Maurer. Due to the weather, Treasurer, Karen Gagliano was unable to be present.<br /><br />On the agenda and discussed was the 2011 ride schedule (as listed above on the blogspot). At the Spring Gathering (March 26, 2011 at Catoosa Ridge) a pot luck dinner will be served at 5:30pm at the Catoosa Ridge dining hall. A group ride will be organized for those who want to ride earlier in the day. Some members will come early (Thursday/Friday) and spend the weekend - all are welcome!<br /><br />The Summer ride at Orchard Cove Stables in Townsend (June 15 - 18, 2011) will be a MFTHBA National Trail Ride sponsored by FoxTROT. Samm Riggin will work with Freda Webb at OCS to redesign/update the T-shirts for the event. Activities for the weekend and possible trail routes were discussed. The possiblitliy of having professional entertainment on Saturday pm was also talked about. FoxTROT board members agreed to pay the $5 fee for the National Trail Ride for current FoxTROT members. *Camping space for this event is filling up FAST. If planning to attend, book early!!<br /><br />September 28 - October 2, 2011 are the dates for Fox Trotter Affair to be held at East Fork Stables in Jamestown, TN. FoxTROT will be responsible for the trail portion of the event. It was also agreed to spend up to $150 to sponsor the event. Trail rides for Fox Trotter Affair will also be MFTHBA National Trail rides and co-sponsored by FoxTROT and a Georgia MFT affiliate.<br /><br />The MFTHBA Youth Affiliate has asked FoxTROT to help with a National Trail Ride to be held at East Fork Stables (Jamestown, TN) during Memorial Day weekend (May 28 - 30, 2011). Details to come.<br /><br />The FoxTROT regional reps are putting together smaller day rides and/or weekend rides to be held in between our larger, scheduled events. These will be announced via email and phone calls as they are scheduled.<br /><br />Trainer clinics specific to gaited breeds were discussed. Trainer Liz Graves will hold a gaited horse clinic at Orchard Cove Stables in Townsend, TN the last weekend of August (8/27 - 28/2011).<br /><br />It was discussed to put out a "feeler" with members to see if there is an interest in holding a "Ground Manners" mini-clinic to be held in the Spring.<br /><br />Membership participation awards to boost member involvement were discussed. Plans are in the works for different awards to be presented for various rides (ie 1st ride, 10th ride, 30th ride, etc). Sam suggested a larger award (ie MFT belt buckle) to be awarded for 30+ rides as an example.<br /><br />Affiliate membership with the ACTHA (American Competitive Trail Horse Association) is being looked into. What are the "perks" for FoxTROT?<br /><br />Sam discussed the importance of FoxTROT continuing on as an affiliate with the MFTHBA and the requirement of the board to be current MFTHBA members. This is to help ensure that FoxTROT remain true to it's mission as a Missouri Fox Trotter trail riding group.<br /><br />Individual officer responsibilities were gone over for the benefit of incoming officers.<br /><br />Because Karen Gagliano (Treasurer) was not present, there was no treasurer's report presented.<br /><br />All in all, meeting time was very well spent and everyone left with great excitement for our group and the upcoming year!FoxTROThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08596746205939091048noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273362733606880724.post-80427039925419501502011-01-19T16:31:00.003-06:002011-01-19T16:38:27.626-06:00A New Year - A New FoxTROT<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_n8SJtlSTZZ0/TTdm5eOWnpI/AAAAAAAAA0o/pMDJWw2-L-k/s1600/011011%2B006.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 180px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564029002191380114" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_n8SJtlSTZZ0/TTdm5eOWnpI/AAAAAAAAA0o/pMDJWw2-L-k/s320/011011%2B006.jpg" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;"> FoxTROT's 2011 BOD (l-r) Samm Riggin - Secretary, Lea Valentine - Vice President, Heather Webb - East TN Rep, Sam Gerhardt - President, Ray Maurer - Member, Donna Maurer - Middle TN Rep</span><br /><p><span style="font-size:78%;"></span> </p><p><span style="font-size:78%;"></span> </p><p><span style="font-size:78%;"> </p><br /><br /></span>FoxTROThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08596746205939091048noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273362733606880724.post-78508731183792244982010-12-10T06:34:00.007-06:002010-12-12T18:14:40.726-06:00Randolph the Bow Legged Cowboy!Christmas is a special time of year! It is a time of Family, Friends, Faith and Films (Don't you all enjoy the holiday movies?)! Well, I've been singing a song I learned YEARS ago to my children and now grandchildren (or whoever else's children that will listen!). I have no idea who wrote it or how to give credit. You may find that the children in your life will enjoy it, so I'm sharing with you. Sing this to the tune of "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer".<br /><br />"Randolph the bow legged cowboy<br />Had a very shiny gun,<br />And if you ever saw it<br />You would turn away and run.<br /><br />All of the other cowboys<br />Used to laugh and call him names.<br />They never let poor Randolph<br />Join in any horseback games.<br /><br />Then one snowy Christmas Eve,<br />The sheriff came to say,<br />Randolph with your guns so bright,<br />Won't you lead my posse tonight?<br /><br />Then how the cowgirls loved him,<br />And they shouted out with glee,<br />Randolph the bowlegged cowboy<br />You'll go down in history!"<br /><br />Merry Christmas and Happy Trails,<br /><br />Sam Gerhardt<br />President, FoxTROTFoxTROThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08596746205939091048noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273362733606880724.post-51859773402132387732010-12-10T05:20:00.005-06:002010-12-12T18:13:28.340-06:00Elections and Membership RenewalsWell, here we are at the end of another successful year. From The Winter Gathering on to our first National Trail Ride and then to the Foxtrotter Affair, FoxTROT experienced great participation and reviews in 2010. We anticipate 2011 to be even better! It is now time to cast your ballot for the 2011 officers and to renew your membership. The new candidates are all actively involved in FoxTROT and bring energy and additional ideas to us. Please thoroughly answer the ballot and mail it with your completed membership renewal and dues. Many have already accomplished this. Your input and continued support is what makes FoxTROT viable, motivated and successful. Let me see an envelope from you in my mail box soon!<br /><br />It is also time to renew membership in the national organization, the Missouri Fox Trotting Horse Breed Association. There are many benefits to belonging to the MFTHBA (<a href="http://www.mfthba.com/">http://www.mfthba.com/</a>), the most important being the right to vote and to provide input to the direction of the organization. It is my personal experience that the leadership of the MFTHBA does have an ear and will respond to communication from the membership. There are many positive changes taking place in the MFTHBA and I like to think that those changes have been influenced by individual members who remain actively engaged. Of course, as I write this I'm aware that most of FoxTROT want to trail ride and have no interest in the affairs of the MFTHBA. This is understandable, believe me! However, the MFTHBA is OUR breed registry. To keep it strong we must be members; to influence it in a better direction we must vote and communicate our desires and concerns. There is strength in numbers. Please consider joining or renewing your membership in the MFTHBA for 2011.<br /><br />FoxTROT's next full organizational ride will be The Spring Gathering at Catoosa Ridge Stables, Crossville, TN, Saturday, 26 March 2011. Notice this is a "Spring" Gathering. Last year The "Winter" Gathering had a bit too much "winter" so we postponed this event for a month in 2011. Be looking for further information after the new year.FoxTROThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08596746205939091048noreply@blogger.com0
