The FoxTROT Summer Trail Ride was a great success! Bruce and Sharon, owners of Zenith, have a nice place and were very hospitable hosts. Members and guests trickled in from Wednesday to Saturday to ride the trails of the Big South Fork out of Zenith Stables. The weather was pleasant allowing us to ride each day. Friday evening 11 of us gathered at Bacarras, a local German/American restaurant, for a nice meal. By Saturday we had a total of 15 Trail Riders! With the exeption of Deb and I, Terry Messex, and Heather Webb, we had a different group than attended the Spring Ride. We missed those who could not attend, but were encouraged to see new members active. One of the new members, Bob Mathis, went on his first official trail ride on his MFT! He acquired his horse from and has been training with Michael and Sharon Lesner. Upon his return to camp with a scratch or two and a few sore muscles he had forgotten he had, Bob said that he is no longer a trail riding virgin! He had a BIG SMILE on his face!! We'll look forward to seeing more of Bob and his wife, Cynda. Other new participant members were Donna Porter, Ray Mauer, and Donna's daughter, Brooke; Glenn Moody and Roger Wyatt. Terry, Roger, Glenn and Heather brought guests with them t o ride with FoxTROT. James and Moira Funk were not able to ride but came up to visit Friday afternoon. James "adjusted" a couple of horses and Moira delivered a fresh Rhubarb Pie!!! Don Trollinger came up but had an accident Thursday morning and had to return home. Be prayerful for him as he recovers at home. We'll look forward to seeing Don on the trail again. All in all, it seemed to me that everyone had fun enjoying one another and our MFTs!
Be sure to make your reservations now for the Fall Trail Ride to be held at the Circle E Guest Ranch, 28 October - 1 November!
Happy Trails, Sam Gerhardt, President, FoxTROT
