The Horsemen's Corral
Joe Coalter on the OHC
I took a little time on my radio show this week to talk about the Ohio Horseman's Council. If you are not a member, I encourage you to join. They have a new website but the old one (the one I said in the cut) will still take you there. Visit www.ohconline.com or check them out here on Facebook.

This from the Brecksville Manager;
Can you send a note out to OHC with a reminder about the Valley Parkway APT Construction. (the section west of Rt.21) The contractors building the APT said the past couple weeks they have come in to work and found hoof prints and manure in the construction area and even on the finished work that is ready for paving. Just a reminder that it is a "No Access Zone" and violators can and will be cited. Thanks for your help.
Please members, spread the word and DO NOT ride the area!
