The MFTHBA thanks Matthew Zimpel for his contributions to the future generations of Missouri Fox Trotters through his stallion, Sensation’s Southern Spark GWL. Sensation’s Southern Spark GWL and Mr. Zimpel will be formally recognized for this accomplishment at the 2023 Show and Celebration.

The MFTHBA Membership Committee established the Breeding Sire of the Year award to recognize stallions providing significant impact to the continuation of the breed.  In addition, the award was designed to encourage foal registration in a timely manner, something that helps the MFTHBA in its task to preserve the registry of the breed.

The criteria for the award are simple:

• All stallions who submit an on-time stallion breeding report are eligible.
• The 2022 Top Breeding Sires represent the stallions with the most foals born in 2022 and registered with the MFTHBA by December 31, 2022.
