I apologize that this information may not be topic appropriate for this
list, but please understand that we need to do all we can to get all the
assistance we can to with this issue, again I apologize.

Attention Attention....All PA Equine Enthusiasts.

As you may already know the PA Game Commission proposed regulations that
would ban all non hunting activities from the PA State Games Lands.
Unfortunately, the PA Equine Council Trail Chairman sent word to all the
Regional and County Directors as of Feb. 12, 2002 that the Game
Commission has passed these regulations. We are now in a 90 day comment
period. The Pennsylvania Equine Council has developed a petition and
sample letter that can be printed off their web site at
http://www.pastatehorsecouncil.homestead.com/GAMELANDINDEX.html. This
is the time that the equine community needs to bond together and do our
best to change this regulation. The PA Equine Council would greatly
appreciate any assistance in contacting the equine community in your
area. Please note we are up against a deadline on this issue (April
9, 2002). We need all the assistance we can get on this issue.

Thanx!
Amy Skvarka
Region 8 Director
