Maintenance projects and cost

The members present unanimously voted to pay from the Club’s checking account for the following:

Sand:

Load of sand in the roundpen

We will get the sand and bring it to the arena. For the roundpen: A work party will be required to disassemble the panels and rake the sand (a tractor cannot fit in it). 

Estimated cost: $1,200-$1,300 for the two loads of sand.

PRC’s Horsey Bomb-Proofing Day

On Saturday April 8th we had great fun getting together for PRC’s Horsey Bomb-Proofing Day. We had balloons, flags, tarps, a pool-noodle “car wash” walk-thru, yoga balls and other goodies for our horses to get accustomed to. It was a great day!
