Who will be the 2017 MFTHBA Trainer of the Year and the 2017 Matthew Keeter Sportsmanship Award Winner? It is time to nominate MFTHBA trainers & members for these two prestigious awards.

 Is there a trainer of Missouri Fox Trotters that you feel stands out above the rest this year?

The MFTHBA would like to honor this trainer, whether he or she is a trainer for performance, trail, versatility, model, etc. Nominate the trainer that you feel deserves to be the 2017 Trainer of the Year by submitting a nomination letter. The trainer being nominated and the person nominating the trainer must be current MFTHBA members. Your nomination should be 200 words or less.

The Merriam‐Webster Dictionary defines sportsmanship as “conduct (as fairness, respect for one’s opponent, and graciousness in winning or losing) becoming to one participating in a sport.” Do you know a member of the MFTHBA who demonstrates true sportsmanship?

The MFTHBA would like to honor and recognize a true sportsman in our breed by honoring them with the Matthew Keeter Sportsmanship Award. Nominate a member who demonstrates true sportsmanship by telling us in 200 words or less how this person demonstrates true sportsmanship in the ring, trail, etc.

Nomination letters should be emailed to Amy Stangl, Membership Chair, by Monday, March 19th, at astangl920@gmail.com. Nominations letters will be posted on the MFTHBA website and voting will take place online.

Each MFTHBA member will have one vote for each award.
