Handling Strangles Outbreak: Cindy Johnson will create a disclaimer sheet (buying and selling tack at own risk) that will be attached to people’s tack sheets. Cathy will add language about cleaning tack before bringing to sale on website. We will be providing Chlorax wipes. We will try to get Dr. Leah to come to answer questions about strangles.
Moving saddles:Dale and Norm thought that saddles might sell better if moved to main room. Final decision will be made on day of sale depending on how much stuff there is.
