The MD Region Horse Management Seminar scheduled for this coming Sunday, April 26 has been canceled due to poor participation.  Those that signed up to take the clinic will be mentored on a one-on-one basis at this years rallies to help train them in horse management skills.  A big thanks to Karen Bennett and Elkridge Harfor Pony Club for volunteering to stage the clinic and to Karen Taylor who volunteered to cook lunch and keep everyone well fed.  Thanks also to the wonderful clinicians who had agreed to help teach that day.  If you have any questions, please contact me by phone or email.  Thanks.
