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.

Regional Rides, Saturday, 14 Nov 2009

Today Lea, Deb and I made a loop in the Smokies to Mount Cammerer. It was a perfect day for this ride! To see pictures go to http://www.ridinghappytrails.blogspot.com/.

Terry Messex met Donna Porter, Ray Mauer, and others at the Why Not Ranch in middle Tennessee for a nice ride. We may have some pictures from them to post in a few days.

Karen Gagliano is continuing to recover after her surgery which she had this past Tuesday. She'll be back in the saddle again soon for sure!

Let us know of your local rides and send pics if you can.

Happy Trails,

Sam Gerhardt
President, FoxTROT
