Top 15 Missouri Fox Trotting Horses in Top Trail Yearly Miles Announced
The final miles have been logged for 2016 in Top Trail. Top Trail recognizes participating riders and horses quarterly, monthly, and annually with Top Trail honors. Through the partnership established between both organizations in 2016, Missouri Fox Trotters will be eligible for additional recognition from the MFTHBA. To be eligible to receive the award, horses must be registered Missouri Fox Trotting Horse and their owner a current MFTHBA member. The Top 5 winners will be receiving a custom jacket to commemorate their accomplishment.
The top mileage earner that also participates and turns in a hours log in Fox Trot America, the MFTHBA’s hour based riding recognition program, will be named the MFTHBA Trail Horse of the Year. This horse and rider will be recognized at the 2017 Spring Show and Three Year Old Futurity this coming June.
