| Upper Midwest Foxtrotter Association |
There are many reasons for this UMFTA affiliate. First, is the
number of fox trotter owners and horses within this region which
encompasses Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and
Iowa. A few of these states have established affiliates, but some do
not. This chapter was not formed to take away members from an
existing affiliate, but to help all fox trotter owners and breeders
promote our wonderful breed as a regional effort. Our members
are convinced that the Missouri Fox Trotter is the best horse breed
out there for the recreational rider.
There are many good quality foxtrotting horses bred and raised in
the Upper Midwest. We believe a combined effort is the best way to
further promote the horses born and raised here through shows,
clinics, trail riding, and live demonstrations.
The interest in the fox trotters in the Upper Midwest is growing
rapidly. The charter officers and board members represent years of
fox trotter ownership and showing at local, regional, and national
levels. This group alone owns over 200 registered fox trotters.
Besides the participation and friendship, the charter will allow us to
educate people in our area about the Missouri Fox Trotting Horse.
We will also be able to hold sanctioned point shows, educational
clinics, and seminars. We currently participate in the Midwest
Horse Fair in Madison, Wisconsin, and have had a tremendous
response to our efforts there.
This web site is meant to list meeting notices, events,
advertisements, news, educational stories, and member's web sites.
And now, in our own region and owned by a member. A Missouri
Foxtrotting Riding Academy. Located at beautiful Endless Valley
Stables, Spring Green, Wisconsin.
