We love Hirsch Feed & Farm Supply! Their continued support of the MFTHBA and the Missouri Fox Trotting Horse means so much to our Association and our members.

If you need shavings for the World Show & Celebration, Hirsch makes it easy—they will deliver them directly to your stalls on the MFTHBA grounds. Just call 417-683-4161 to place your order.

While you’re in Ava, we also encourage you to stop by Hirsch Feed & Farm Supply for your horse and farm needs. When you do, please take a moment to thank them for supporting the MFTHBA and the Missouri Fox Trotting Horse.

We appreciate the businesses that support our breed—let’s support them, too!

We were excited to host KY3 Ozarks Outdoors at the MFTHBA showgrounds last night to share the Missouri Fox Trotting Horse and give viewers a preview of our upcoming World Show and Celebration!

It was a great opportunity to showcase our breed, our horses, and the people who make the Missouri Fox Trotter so special. We can’t wait to see the finished segment!

A special thank you to Jay Fotsch Productions for helping organize the visit and making this opportunity possible.

The Celebration is almost here—we hope to see you in Ava!

The Dale Esther Arena is primed!

As you see the arena during Celebration, one important reminder—this is primer, not the finished product. The final professional-grade topcoat will be applied after the Celebration, so there is still more to come!

Getting to this point has been a tremendous team effort. We estimate approximately 241 volunteer hours have been invested in the project so far.

A special thank you to Chris and Cody Patterson for the tremendous job of sandblasting the arena. They completed the majority of the arena, with a few boxes on the north side determined to be in good enough condition that sandblasting was not necessary. All of the boxes and railings have now been primed.

We are also very grateful to A T Switzer Painting Company for generously donating the primer.

Thank you to this past weekend’s crew: Jana Starnes, Danny Starnes, Jordan Hinrichs, Craig Ramsey, Curtis Ramsey, Lori Reed, Ken Kutter, Brad Huffman, Alan King, Lisa King and Amber Wilson—and to everyone who helped during earlier workdays, recruited volunteers, provided equipment or donated materials.

We are equally grateful to everyone who has contributed financially to this project. Your support, combined with donated materials and volunteer labor, is helping us make improvements to our grounds.

Thank you to everyone investing their time, talents and resources in the home of the Missouri Fox Trotting Horse.
