If you are not showing a horse and have some free time to volunteer, we are in need of gate keepers for the Sunday sessions.
There are 2 sessions on Sunday; we need 2 gate keepers per session.

We are always in need of financial support. Anyone can sponsor a class. A class can be sponsored in memory of someone or just because you like to see your name in print! If you know of any businesses that would support us, please ask them.
