Electronic correspondence - if you have
not received an e-mail from the office and would like to be on the e-mail
list for important information regarding clinics, horse show inclement
weather updates or other news please send your e-mail information (including
your name) to the office - swvhja@swvhja.org. Please use an account that you do not plan on
changing as often as you muck out stalls... That is,
ponygirl01@x is registered, then you
decide to change it to ponygirl1999@x
the following week, that is a bit hard to manage, especially if a
notification is not sent to the office and the e-mails just bounce back.
Thanks for your help!!!
