The Biggest Horse Show Of The Year! MFTHBA Fall Show And Celebration 2022

[@stardust949]

Thank You God and the State of Missouri that you have standards in place to protect the horses from abuse for your shows! I've learned about "soring" in regards to Tennessee Walkers---and it's barbaric that in this day and age anyone would choose to treat their horses in such a way. Glad to know your beautiful Fox Trotters don't endure that.

[@dreamcatcher3861]

Beautifully said Star Dust. 🙏🏻

[@TracySuszek]

That was very impressive. I in joyed watching. GodBless. Congratulations

[@rebelrog]

I disagree, respectfully. They could have the standards without the government being involved. I'm all for inspecting the horses and protecting the horses, we just don't need the Government to do it. I live in Missouri, I'm no fan of Jeff City, let the Association inspect the competitors horses.

[@judytinker3392]

Congratulations to all of you your entire family. You should be proud.

[@barryandjackypowell8239]

Watching this particular episode two years later, I hope to see continued success in upcoming championship shows. CONGRATULATIONS ALL ROUND!

[@avgjo6349]

Beautiful children , beautiful horses and beautiful family!

[@aw072]

I LOVE the fact that this is a family event and that you train your own horses and teaching you own kids. ❤ It seems that for some folks, social status and spending the most money is their focus instead. You’re making memories that will last forever, and that’s worth more than any amount of money.

[@wendyeesue]

Very enjoyable watch. First time seeing fox trotters in a horse show. Thanks so much for sharing

[@ErnieB]

Congratulations! You all did so well, horses and riders, all. Thanks for posting. You have every right to be proud.

It is refreshing to see parents teach sportsmanship as you do. Judging is subjective by nature, and nobody wins all the time. I particularly enjoyed hearing your honest evaluation of the horses in each class. Whiplash Wilma is a tough one to beat, but even she is not unbeatable. You have three beautiful children and gorgeous horses. What could be better?

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

Thank you!🙏❤️

[@k.wilki0392]

Your greatest accomplishment is your family! With everything going on in the world, seeing such a beautiful family working together, doing something they so obviously love, and the support for each other is so wonderful to see. You all are truly Blessed to have each other. You all SHINE!

[@nettyferguson4874]

Your children are a credit. Love from North Wales uk

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

We think so too💕

[@charlesparis572]

Congratulations to the Family of winners! Awesome Presentation,👍👍

[@lifewithmegan3106]

Thank you for this peek into another part of the horse world that I've never seen! Looked like a great week for your whole family!

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

Thanks for watching!

[@mtpockets5109]

Doesn't it feel amazing being the "dark horse" so to speak!? I, as a teen, did competitive races. Pulling into the camp with only two horse trailer and an old dodge ram pickup and a western saddle and tack back in the late 1990s. Man, was it fun!!!! 1st, 2nds, and 3rds were a shock because of what I was up against, but apparently, all my hard work and miles in the saddle sure paid off. I always placed 1-3 in U.M.E.C.R.A. Was so much fun! Plus, only one arab and one was a half arab half quarter up against much smaller riders and full arabs. It brings me a lot of joy seeing these kinds of competitions being won by us little guys. Well, now you guys are making one heck of a name for yourself! Beautiful animals and amazing owner/trainers. 🎉🎉❤

[@Grace2Hope]

Show Sheen! What a blast from the past! My kids were in 4H in northern Michigan in the 90s. This show you are at here reminds me of County Fair week in July. It was my kids' favorite time of the year, next to Christmas!

[@stanleypruczinski1162]

What an amazing family and greatly trained horses! Job well done you all!

[@samanthadillard2853]

Okay I know I'm late but anyway the way her tail was riding so high when Jr rode her and won first place. Was awesome

[@lindawest2322]

We so loved being next to you at the stalls! I was amazed at how well the kids (young adults) behaved, respected their parents, their siblings! What a family you and Mary have! Your work/training with horses show you know how to get the best they can do.JOB WELL DONE! ready for next spring g!!

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

You sure you remember my kids? Meaner then rattlesnake! LoL

[@susanbelida6981]

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

Thank you kindly!

[@ceciliavondehn4402]

Have not seen these magnificent Fox trotters in Canada. Could use them in our cross Canada trails! Enjoying your exposure and family involvement.

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

Definitely need to get them there!

[@boessheila50]

I don't think Fox trotters r common in Cda. ??

[@susannejaba3274]

Love the family portrait at the end of the video ❤

[@ES-pc8kf]

Wow it is really wonderful that your family shares this interest and really seems to actually enjoy doing it together. It takes a lot of effort to have such good relationships with your children. It is also clear that all of you love and respect your animals

[@heatherklick3667]

Don’t remember Mary in the newer videos. Great show!

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

She doesn’t like to be on film

[@GrandJan46]

Isaac really sits the saddle well. Love watching him ride.

[@beckydowhower4504]

This is all new to me. I'm enjoying this new experience. Thank you,for ALL your time energy,and efforts. I'm really digging this.❤

[@BAF-s1f]

Great job to your entire family worked together to help one another out at show and it paid off for the years work to get ready for this show. Congratulations to each ribboned earned and so much success to your family well deserved. Your horses gave their all a lot to be proud of you trained and road your own horses.

[@flamingomtn]

It's so much fun to see a show. I was just thinking to ask when it showed up in my recommendations. Congratulations to all!

[@gregmoore6596]

What a beautiful family great job!!! And how proud are mom and dad God bless!!

[@barbh6987]

Beautiful family, glad you love your horses. I can't believe how hard the horses have to work to win shows.

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

They really do. They are athletes! Most our horses love it and want to work hard with us.

[@deborahmahan9703]

What a wonderful and informative commentary! I thoroughly enjoyed the personal touch.

[@albackowski]

Great showing Issac Becka and Mary. Ok Jr too 🙂

[@KarinaTheDreama]

Your family pics u put together at the end were charming & really tugged at my heart. All of you are blessed graciously.

[@believeinyourself7511]

Your horses and daughters are beautiful. 🎊. I have never ridden a Fox Trotter. It looks like a fun breed to show. Congratulations!!!!!! I must say this is the best show video I have ever watched😁🎇🎆

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

Thank you so much! I hope you can ride a foxtrotter someday! They are an awesome breed.

[@kimlersue]

I had a fox trotter and in my youth they were my favorite ride...smoooooooooth. They are great little horses..

[@PatriseHenkel]

I knew nothing about this breed before I found your channel. What sweet graceful horses! They have such great tail carriage, and of course their natural gait.

[@arizonamom8773]

Love your horses and love your videos! You have a great family team! Congratulations to all of you🎉🎉🎉

[@lifewithmegan3106]

Great job!

[@marycoker99]

I enjoyed this video. Congratulations to the whole family ! 🎉🎉🎉🎉👏👏

[@joliencarr831]

I am an animal lover but fear horses (I was never taught how to be around them). Your new puppy is more my size😂 I love watching your family and horses.

[@sherrileeslade6557]

So proud of your family at that show they all showed very very well

[@MrsCynfuller]

Congratulations, everyone did awesome.

[@jerrycutright3267]

Congratulations on your accomplishments!!

[@margueritemitchell1829]

Hello from British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦👋👍♥️🌲🌲🌲🌲☂️🎩🐇💥 🙂 winners all around 🙂

[@kimberly1273]

This was awesome! I have never watched a horse show before. I know this is a little bit of an older video (let's say, pre Oliver), and my first time seeing Miss Mary! Very beautiful and talented family.

[@lilnh1039]

OMG, I am so glad that they inspect the horses to make sure they are ok.

[@caroleschachinger2593]

You must be so proud of your amazing kids and horses. Winners all! What a wonderful, exciting video. 💙💙💙💙😍💙💙💙

[@alethacriss9308]

Great job folks! Love the pretty showy colors😊

[@shirleylee3172]

Congratulation to you all and the beautiful horses very enjoyable to watch good luck for the future xx uk

[@jeffreyc3614]

The entire barn was beautifully turned out !!! GgggggggggR8 job 🏆

[@caseyscarrotpatch]

Whiplash Wilma has the tail cut. I think, I love watching your horses and how much you care about your kids and horses. I just found you channel and I love it! I would love to ride a gaited horse, maybe someday. Ty for sharing!! ❤️

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

Thank you!❤️

[@caseyscarrotpatch]

@Karen Bailey some big lick riders cut the tail so it sticks up a certain way. I wasn't correct in this case. But I thought maybe.

[@richardcooksey1600]

Really enjoy your videos. Well done!

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

Thank you! Much appreciated.

[@benitadavis659]

awesome great video , love the story telling commentry

[@jimmydemetriou7847]

Congratulations to you all. I really enjoyed the video. God bless you all XXX

[@gileshanover4986]

Excellent video. Congratulations to you all.

[@jillsimmons110]

Enjoying this vlog so much. Such beautiful children and horses 🎉

[@denisebair9542]

I appreciate your channel so much! I always rode hunter/jumpers and never gained any knowledge of gaited horses. I always made sure I caught all of the gaited classes at the American Royal (I’m originally from Kansas City, Mo). I’ve always thought they are such beautiful horses! I love the way they move! Thank you for sharing!

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

Hi! Glad you enjoy them! Thank you for watching 👍

[@cathycoffman5479]

These are western classes why no hat on all the riders?

[@2CalaLilly]

Congratulations to each of the kids and their horses. Very well done. I wish I could make a gentle, well-meaning suggestion without being misunderstood, but it's probably best just to wish you all the very best if you continue to compete.

[@deborahandrianos463]

Love it ! Your Girls are Amazing great Job ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Betru2u60]

I absolutely love your family. Well done to you all. Australia 🇦🇺 ❤

[@hollywilliams993]

Looking forward to seeing the next time you all go to one of these shows!

[@jenifereddings6190]

I'm so proud of the whole Rosa family.😂 and their horses. ❤ You can tell a lot of training went into these rides

[@gessellfrisbee]

This is awesome!!!!

[@sallydorsey1851]

Well done

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

Thanks😊

[@pitcherlegacy843]

Wow! You girls are doing a stellar job with your horses! They are so very beautiful!

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

Thank you so much!

[@CrazyDaisy8008]

Thank you for showing "behind the scenes" I had no idea shows could be so enjoyable. And thank you for address the awful terrible soring and chains that some awful terrible people implement.

[@marksheffer625]

Congratulations to y'all

[@cherylmillard2067]

27:23 That's called working your animal above its threshold in dog training, it's absolutely a necessity in training any animal, well done!!

[@erikadeyzel2199]

What a beautiful blessed family. 🤗👍❤

[@judymckinney7984]

Very impressive rides for all three of you. Beautiful horses

[@katyspouge3468]

Well done, all of you, great results for all your hard work, you are naturals and i love watching you train and ride your horses 🙏✅ Sending my love and best wishes from Switzerland 💞😘🙋🏻‍♀️

Congrats on everyone’s great performances and all your wins. Yours horses are so beautiful.

[@andrealuvshouse]

I think I recognize barn 5! Elmo and Mary had the first couple of stalls and St Louis Regional club jad the stalls next to Elmo and Mary. I always had the first of the St L Regional stalls, right next to Elmo’s, and we had a lot of fun times.

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

That’s my grandpa my stalls now

[@Muffinrando]

Congrats

[@GrandJan46]

Mary sits the saddle well also.

[@RickRomanelli]

Your dad sent me. I subbed.

[@lindamerrill1694]

Good show !

[@spiderlily4386]

This is a great video!! You have such a cool family, JR. ... PS: It's not often i hear the word DELUGE pronounced correctly. Thank you!

[@karenjmullins]

I really enjoyed this entire video.

[@jimjett9996]

Congratulations even tho it's late for me to say ! 🙂

[@nasser707games8]

Well-done concatenation 🎉 good jop 👌👌👌🥇🥇🥇

[@callienn]

This is such a fun video. I loved watching you all at the show, and how JR is so sincerely humble about how gifted your entire family is! I've never seen Fox Trotters compete so this was all totally new. I had Quarter Horse who loved to jump. It makes me want to book a vacation at your B&B and take a few lessons. Does Emery show too? And and going to search your videos to see if there's one with your family history. If not, I'd love to know more about JR's grandparents and how this became the family trade.

[@carrieannaenlow9479]

That was pretty cool. I come from Newburg Doolittle area.

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

I at the dollar general right now! LoL

[@susanhunter8272]

I'm from Texas, and we always ride with our heels down. Why do most of the riders ride with their heels up?

[@FarmFreshIB]

Nice horses and excellent rides! As an old riding instructor... If Becka could work on her lower leg, sinking her weight more into that heel and using her ankle as the shock absorber, it would eliminate the jiggle at the foxtrot, lock her down a bit tighter into the saddle and improve Ozarks performance. She works amazingly well at the flat walk already because Becka is tighter (more in sync) in the saddle at the slower gait. When she moves up into the foxtrot you can see that she is more focused on the horse and loses that contact because of it. It is a trainer riding. She needs to really work and focus on that heel drop at home to make it muscle memory and with the resulting saddle contact focus on driving that little horse on with her hips and not her legs. When the jiggle is gone and the rider is deep in the saddle and tight with the horse the mare won't be needing to think about her rider and will really open up and stride. They will be an unbeatable combination at that point!

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

Thank you very much!

[@FarmFreshIB]

@@homesteadhorsemanship While it is cold and nasty out... have her watch some dressage on KZbin. Specifically the extended trot. You are trying to engage that back end and push forward while lightening up the front for reach in the perfect foxtrot. That is exactly the same thing they are trying to accomplish at upper levels of dressage with the extended trot. When I was still showing and training we often video taped ourselves, so we could see exactly how our body position was and visualize how to correct it. The camera doesn't lie. I am always happy to help a good horseman get even better.

[@kristacook4318]

Bravo

[@MartinSBrown-tp9ji]

I was asked to see tour Chanel by tour dad and subscribe.

[@toniastouder6828]

Wow, I can tell I'm way more used to Western riding of thirty years ago and know nothing of Fox trotters. I've learned a lot about how you ride them and how they move. It all leads me to believe that a horse I had years ago was part fox triggers as he had some gaits to him.

[@cheryl8913]

❤❤

[@1105pitbull]

JR watching you on Lucky I thought you should have raised your head a bit more like you did on the victory lap.

[@galamehl9832]

Loved the show ❤. Can you tell me why some of the horses were quite a lot bigger than yours are? Are they all pure bred MFT?

[@sarahogorman7362]

Very educational. First experience seeing MJT's show. Riders look comfortable and horses are smooth. However, the bobbing heads look very odd to me. In general, horse showing has always seemed like too much effort and expense to me. It's being out in nature on a good horse, alone or not, that really relaxes me. Also love the babies and training.

[@1_aiartist_1001effects]

Thx for explaining what's foxtrot means..🎉❤🎉I had really never saw this.. for me foxtrot looks almost like "big lick tenessee horses" only looks like.. for me the tölt from the islandic horse looks smoother..lol.. but..but..I never rode a foxtrotter..

[@donnaanderson3527]

I WAS SURPRISED AT HOW MUCH BOUNCING BECCA DID AT THE FOX TROT. FOR SOME REASON I THOUGHT YOU COULD USE A FLAT SADDLE FOR GAITED HORSES WITH NO BOUNCE.
