When you drive around the MFTHBA World Headquarters during the World Show and Celebration, you quickly realize that Missouri Fox Trotting Horse owners love their dogs. Relaxing at the stalls, riding on golf carts, and napping in the camper, there are cute, adorable puppies all over the grounds.

“Our committee was brainstorming something fun to do during the day at the Celebration. On one of the Membership Committee surveys, someone had shared the idea of a dog show, so we took the idea and ran with it,” shared Amy Stangl, MFTHBA Membership Committee Chairman. Monica Daugherty, MFTHBA Membership Committee member, has taken the lead on organizing the event.

This fun event will be held at 2 p.m. on Friday, September 11, in the Dale Esther Arena. Eight classes will be held with all participating pooches receiving a treat. Special awards will also be given for the top 5 places in each class.

“We hope people will just have a good time with it,” shared Stangl. “This isn’t meant to be a serious dog show, but just a way for everyone to have fun and maybe even laugh a little.”

Entries for the classes will be taken right before the start of the show in the main arena.

Exhibitors are encouraged to start making plans now to show their favorite dog!
