MFTHBA Catalog Has Been Mailed
The catalog is in the mail! Thank you to all the members and staff who invested time to submit information for this year’s publication and reviewed digital and printed proofs to check for accuracy.
We are pleased to share that the MFTHBA Catalog has been mailed and will soon arrive in members’ mailboxes. We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding throughout this process.
This year, our goal was to produce a catalog that our members could take pride in—a publication that represents the quality and heritage of the Missouri Fox Trotting Horse. To support that goal, we partnered with a professional designer and built a team of members to review each page to ensure it accurately reflected the breed and our association.
We know many of you were hoping to receive the catalog earlier in the year, and we understand the disappointment with the delayed mailing. While the timeline was longer than we intended, we hope you’ll find that the finished product was worth the wait.
A sincere thank you goes out to the many individuals who assisted in reviewing content, whether committee-specific pages or the publication as a whole. Their time, attention to detail, and dedication helped bring this catalog to life. We thank all these individuals for their time:
- Christina Hughes
- Joe Dampier
- Bryce Jepperson
- Cheyenne Dunham
- Lisa McBride
- Donna Routh
- Ricka Mathews
- Debbi Levillie
- Donna Goodman
- Samantha Connelly
- Ruth Massey
- Jessica Harris
- Carmen Gray
- Cathy Marriott
- All MFTHBA Board Members
We also want to extend a special thank you to Samantha Connelly and Patti Hayes for their support in selling advertisements. Their work made this catalog possible.
Two thousand pounds of catalogs being picked up for mailing. This year, we worked with the Ozark Horse Trader for the design and printing of the Catalog.
Looking ahead, we are already making plans to streamline the process and improve next year’s timeline. To ensure a late February mailing, materials will need to be finalized and submitted to the designer in early December. This means we’ll begin work on the 2025 Catalog soon after the Celebration and move up deadlines to keep the project on schedule.
We hope you enjoy the this year’s catalog and feel the pride we all share in this incredible breed. Thank you for being part of the MFTHBA.
