The professionals of the Missouri Fox Trotting Horse Breed Association will be coming together for its annual education weekend.

Scheduled clinicians include Clifton Matlock, Jerry Middleton, Steve Sherrer, Dale Lawson, Steve Assenmacher, Cecil Huff and Julie Moore.

There will also be a free trail ride for any breed horse and a free fun show for Missouri Fox Trotters. If you love horses, just enjoy talking with people about horses, want to learn more about the breed, or just like to spend some time in the beautiful Ozarks hills, this is the event for you.
