Even with the soaring gas prices and a slow The economy, this tells me that the members are starving for a place to gather and show their horses with fellow horsemen. There are still several events on the calendar; go to the ARHA website (www.americanranchhorse.net) “Events Calendar”, choose an event and attend! Next issue: THE CHARTERS NEED YOU! I am © challenging those of you who do not belong to a charter….join one. Those of you who belong to a CONTENTS charter….become active in your charter.
