Origin
The foxes started out as a completely ordinary club without any deeper goal or meaning. They were first founded on June 28, 2016 by Rose Ravenlord. Foxes had no conditions of acceptance at all. Among others, there were Bethany Windnest and April Springforce, who then became co-owners.
After some time, they decided to be among the first in the cz / sk community to introduce recruiting new members using a questionnaire.
The current leaders are Chloe Slowstone and April Springforce.

Real meets
Over time, the club did not revolve only around the SSO. We started meeting in real life and to make it even better, the first meeting was several days long. It was the first Fox Camp, which we now organize every year and celebrate our club’s birthday. The first took place on 23.8.2017!
Since then, we hold real meetings somewhat often. Regular ones include For Pets, Christmas Reunion and Fox Camp.

Big Rides
We also organize meetings for the community, they are the so-called Big Rides. We wanted to unite the cz/sk community more, so we came up with this idea. Big Rides are not regular, but there are at least two during the year. The first Big Ride was in 2017!

Dressage
We have never been a dressage club and we had no idea how a dressage at SSO looks like. That changed in early 2020, when current leaders decided to try out SSO dressage. They started to enjoy it from the very beginning, so they tried to implement their "knowledge" into Foxes. Slowly but surely, despite the rough beginnings, the Foxes are now at a decent level. Despite this, we still have a lot to work on and we do not give up. We regularly participate in dressage competitions from Star Stable Dressage. Our historically first (really dressage) training was 6.6.2020!
