Hi everyone,

Thanks for your suggestions and feedback on Horse of the Month column
(from about a month ago!).  My apologies, also, that I didn't get my
little notes listed on all of the NHS-related Yahoo groups.  My
computer was down for a while and I haven't had much time lately to
sit down and organize things.  I had asked for any other Horse of the
Months to be emailed to me, and also if anyone wanted to reply with
what breeds of horses they have.  It was Bobbi's idea (our new
president!) to feature a new member breed each month.  I had 1 reply
for Horse of the Month and 1 reply for horse breeds, so if anyone else
wants to contribute, please drop me a line.  Email is
nhs_editor@....

Thanks so much for your input each month!  Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Bonnie Kelley
NHS Editor

I am writing to let everyone know the GEHS (Gettysburg Equestrian Historical Society) is having an open meeting on Saturday, November 17.  There will be a potluck dinner at 6:30 pm and the meeting after at 7:30 pm. It will be held in the Pavilion at Artillery Ridge Campground [610 Taneytown Rd, Getysburg, PA 17325].
 
The purpose of the meeting is to re-energize the club and build up membership. We have had a drop off in activity and need ideas. Our work parties used to turn out more than a dozen people and we had a great time together while getting lots of work done. The GEHS is the primary caretaker of the Gettysburg National Military Park horse trails and it would be a huge shame if the trails had to close due to lack of funding and manpower.
 
So mark your calendars and come join us for some food and conversation! 
We are a fun group of people in need of some fresh ideas.
