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 Driftless Valley
Ranch, Mazomanie, Wisconsin.
