About Us
|
| We are
Floyd and Sue Hurst and have been enjoying Missouri fox trotters since
1961. Floyd's
grandfather lived near Ava, Missouri, founding home of the Missouri Fox
Trot Horse Breed Association national headquarters.
He had some of the earliest fox trotters and gave Floyd and Sue
their first filly.
Her registration number was 2,500.
There are now over 80,000 horses in the national registry.
Floyd and Sue have continued the family tradition of enjoying every
facet of the Missouri fox trotter. |

We have
been involved with fox trotters in many phases of its growth over the
years. We
raise, break, and train our own horses.
We showed often when our sons, Scott and Kelly, were young and at
home, but we now enjoy trail riding and only show three or four times a
year. We
have recently gotten interested in buggies. |

been on many committees for the MFTHBA.
He served as the first chairman of the National Missouri Fox Trot
Youth Organization, chairman of the national budget committee, and was
secretary of the MFTHBA board of directors for three years. He has judged
shows, conducted judging seminars, and other seminars on various phases of
the fox trotter including equitation and the use of bits.
Floyd has also served as president of his local saddle club as well
as member and board director of Mid America Horse Show Association.

Even though
Sue has not held any official offices, she has contributed since the
beginning. She
has washed, groomed, and coached at every one of our sons' shows.
She has always been there to cheer on all the kids.
She assisted Floyd's seminars with ribbon making, grooming tips,
and general support.
Sue has served as wrangler at MFTHBA Youth Organization shows and
even hand figured judging score cards at the national show when the
computers were down.
She, too, did her share of showing, taking her Cougar horse to many
blues at national shows. Our horses
are special to us and are of the highest quality.
Floyd studied long and hard to select brood mares to cross with our
stallion, and we believe we have succeeded.
Our brood mares are out of Zane's Go Boy, Missouri Bo, Zane's Boss
Man, Missouri Traveler, Sensation, and Missouri Rambler.
We raised our stallion, Rambler's Diamond Fox, who is featured on
the stallion page.
Our clients have become our friends, and there are no nicer people
than those you meet on the trail. |
