FARM TRAINING RULES
The ETRC board has an agreement with Mr.
Kinzalow to use the farm the first and third Wednesday and
the second and fourth Saturday of each month for training.
The ETRC board also set the following rules as requested by
Mr. Kinzalow:
-
ALL GATES MUST BE KEPT CLOSED TO KEEP
CATTLE INSIDE THE FIELDS. Mr. Kinzalow emphasized this
is the most important rule. If this rule is broken, we
WILL lose the farm.
-
NO DRIVING IN FIELDS. Park around
the edge of the fields. There are gravel driveways
around both ponds. Park along either side of the
driveways. ATV’s with trailers may be use to haul
equipment but stay close to edges of fields.
-
DO NOT TRAIN IN THE HAY FIELDS.
TRAINING AT THE KINZALOW FARM
New members are invited to attend training sessions to
participate or watch. An organized training group will be
set up at least twice a month (weather permitting) to learn
and practice the basics of the AKC Hunt Tests. Advanced
training groups may train on their own in separate fields.
E-mail notices to all members will announce dates of
organized training groups. Bring your retriever, a chair,
water, training gear and join the fun.
