It’s that time of year again when we need to gently remind everyone of the loping pen “ground rules”. Following these simple guidelines can save everyone a lot of aggravation as well as keep it safe. Especially here at the SDCHA, where we cater to families and new members, we need to remember that we all get nervous or get in a hurry from time to time. Let’s try to be patient with each other and most of all have a good time. For more information see the NCHA Rule Book pages 165-167. |
