Don't stop here.
We have over 70 pages of information.
These pages were brought to you by Holliday Real Estate serving Hamilton County Indiana and surrounding area.
They are now out of date, since I've retired from the sport and have not kept up with the changes.
For more up to date information go to Bloomfield Horseshoe League.
