With approximately 35 people in attendance, the FoxTROT Winter Gathering at Catoosa Ridge Stables was a huge success! Some of us arrived on Friday and camped over. On Friday and Saturday, members who rode were bundled up so much it was hard to tell one person from the other but all said they really enjoyed their ride. I think I had the best deal staying in the kitchen and preparing the food. Let me say that Robbie Messex was a huge help to me in that department! And as good fortune has it, the manager of Catoosa, Gretta York, not only made us feel welcome in the kitchen, but helped us cook. What a deal! We had plenty of food, companionship and just good horse-talk amongst everyone. Sam did a great job with securing door prizes that consisted of tack and free nights at various horse campgrounds. Some members brought their slightly used tack to sell to anybody who was interested. Then to finish the afternoon, Jamie Whittaker's trainer, John, gave some pointers on "Foxtrotting". On Sunday, Cowboy Church was held, the stalls were cleaned and everyone was home bound with more good FoxTROT-related memories.
