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.

Trail Riding Season, 2010!















Greetings FoxTROT,


Now that the temperatures are warming and the days are longer, most of us will be getting in the saddle and on the trails more. It's time to clean up around the farm/ranch/barn, make sure that all equine vaccines and coggins are current, bathe and brush (and brush and brush and brush) the winter off the horses, and inspect the trailer (how are your tires?). Are you ready for trail riding season?


I'm excited about the 2010 season! Our FoxTROT Seasonal Rides have been coordinated with great events and we expect record participation at each. (Don't forget to make your reservations early at each camp this year.) There are several clinics available and the ACTHA has 4 Competitive Trail Competitions on the calendar in Tennessee. In addition, we will continue to keep you informed of "impromptu rides" that develop through out the year. (By the way, several of us are meeting at Zenith Stables to ride the Big South Fork, Thursday, 8 April through Sunday, 11 April.) If you would like to have other FoxTROT members join you on your week end or day rides, be sure to let us know when and where you plan to ride and we'll help get out the word. I'm really looking forward to riding with you this season!


Be sure to visit my personal blogspot at http://www.ridinghappytrails.blogspot.com/ for current trail riding photos and comments.


As always, please let us know how FoxTROT can be of help to you.


Happy Trails,


Sam Gerhardt
