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.

25 Miles/9 Hours...Memorial Day Ride!
Deb and I, with our friend, Ron Munn, rode the Burnett Gap Trail and Brush Creek Trail in the nearby Cherokee National Forrest on Memorial Day. The ride was outstanding covering mountain ridges and river roads, but ended up being longer than planned! Probably some of the roughest trail we've been on, not sure we'll ride Brush Creek again.

Remember, Deb and I would be honored to host any of you FoxTROT members who want to come ride the Eastern TN and Western NC area. We have a full hook up site for your trailer and/or extra rooms in the house. I promise I won't take you on any longer or tougher ride than you want to do! Just contact us and we'll set aside some dates. Sam Gerhardt, President, FoxTROT
