Now you can follow the Celebration on-line.  Just because you can't attend the Celebration, doesn't mean you have to miss all the fun! For those that will not be able to enjoy the 2010 Fall Show & Celebration of the Missouri Fox Trotter in person, you will be able to experience the excitement on-line.  We have two exciting ways for you to enjoy.

First: Three MFTHBA members have been selected to blog about their Celebration experience.  Current "bloggers" range from the versatility to performance arena.  We are working to locate a blogger who will be participating in the many trail rides during the Celebration as well.  You will be able to access the blog via the MFTHBA Website.  You can expect the blog to be up and running the week of August 30th.  The MFTHBA will also be posting updates from the Celebration on the association's Facebook page.
Thank you to our 2010 Celebration bloggers!
