Subject: FW: [AMMI] THIS IS CROSS POST FROM MY HAY LIST

I got this from another list. 
 
 

Beware of Jim Gill
*Please cross post*

Jim Gill contacted me from an ad for hay I posted in June of 2008. I gave him a deposit for hay - he never sent the hay or returned my
deposit, so I want to make sure he doesn't steal money from anyone else.

I just found out that Mr. Jim Gill of 15902 Falls Road,Sparks MD 21152 is at it again. He took a deposit from hay from a lady in New Hampshire but never produced the hay. He also has a record in both Virginia and New York. He is not a reliable person to deal with - he is a crook. I talked to a hay supplier of his and it turns out he owes those people
alot of money, so PLEASE cross-post everywhere - you never know who me
might try and scam next.

I have an 80" Big D Devlyn Heavy Turnout Blanket for sale.  It's brand new in the package - never removed.  I don't really have a need for a heavy turnout blanket since my mare gets a pretty heavy coat on her.

Retail price is approximately $150.  I'm asking $100.  I will deliver for free within 30 miles of Centreville.  Or, we can make arrangements for pick-up.

I am hoping someone witha farm has pond geese and can advise me. Here
is the story:

I live in Haymarket and an all white (I am assuming domesticated) goose
crash landed at our door near the evergreen firehouse. He was trying to
fly with the "wild guys" and only gets about 300 feet of distance per
flight.    We put him on the pond and after he lost a lot of weight
started feeding him goose food. He lets us feed him (another assumption
that it is a "he") The pond is now frozen so I don't know what to do
with "George" or how to winter him. I am worried that A.) He is lonley
and 2.) about the nights esp. temps and of course predators.

Any suggestions?

I am posting this for a friend who works with me in a horse rescue
group.  If interested in the auction email her for directions at
calamityjane@...

Hi all,

Learned late this afternoon there is a tack auction being held in
Pennsdale Pa, this Thursday at 4:30 pm, by an auctioneer who normally
sells household, estate, guns etc....He will be selling some nice
horses too, at prices that may mean that they will be sold for
slaughter.  I finally was able to speak to the auctioneer late this
afternoon about the horses to be sold, he gave me the following
information on three.

1. A 11 yr old Registered Arabian gelding, who won a silver medal in
an overseas endurance race.
He also team pens, checks up on command, neck reins, very well
mannered, has had a lot of training.
He was originally purchased for $4,500.00 by a real estate guru,
who's wife purchases horses, to outdo this one in endurance, and now
has too many. He has a very low reserve, if the horse brings $300.00
he will take it.

2. A full blood Morgan Mare 8 yrs. old very dark chestnut almost black
in appearance. Fast paced, trained in barrel and pole bending very
fast, took 2nd place in team penning. When cue'd will spin until ask
to stop. No reserve, if brings $400.00 will be let go, owner can't
winter this horse.

3. Coming 2 yr old Pintabian colt, with 3 way registry.
No reserve, will sell if only for $50.00

There are to be 11 if not more horses and ponies going to be sold at
this auction. I don't know any of the brokers or kill buyers who may
have heard of this auction, but with these three possibly selling for
such low prices I can only imagine where they will end up.

I will be going to the auction early, I can't financially afford to
take on any more myself, but plan to educate the owners prior to the
sale. If anyone knows of anyone looking for the types of horses listed
above please rely the information the sale is being held in Pennsdale
Pa. I will gladly give directions for anyone who may want to attend.

Email: calamityjane@...

I know there isn't much time before this sale.

Private 3 stall barn for rent in Haymarket (Shelter Lakes-near
intersection of 234 and 15).  Barn is beautiful in great condition.
12x12 matted stalls, tack room, separate hay room, water &
electricity.  Wash pad.  Access to neighborhood trails.  Ideal for one
owner with 2 horses.  2.5 acres of fenced paddocks (divided into 3
paddocks each with access to the barn.)  Because of field size, 3
horses would only be considered with limited daily turn-out.  Prefer
self-care, but would consider partial-care.  Self-care with two horses
begins at $400.  Previous tenants paid between $400 to $700.  If
interested, I can send pictures.

Hi NHS,

The next two weekends have maintenance/construction events scheduled
by other organizations who are inviting NHS to help out.  If you have
the time, and especially if you frequently use Conway Robinson or
Manassas Battlefield trails, please contribute your labor as a show
appreciation for continued equestrian use of the trails.  Giving back
to the community will pay dividends, especially in this time of
fiscal shortfalls within Prince William County.


Saturday, November 15th  starting at 10 AM
Conway Robinson State Park

There will be a couple of projects in addition to simple trail
weeding. All help would be appreciated. Meet at the shelter off Route
29 at 10:00.  Contact: Jim Hannon at: ridgerunner10@....  Jim
is a member of Friends of Conway Robinson Forest.


Saturday, November 22nd  starting at 9AM
Annie Snyder Trail (between Conway Robinson and Manassas Battlefield)

Meet at the Annie Snyder Trail head on Pageland (It is the third
stoplight as you travel North on hwy 29 from Interstate 66 ).
Spreading of the wood chips on the tread.  Contact: Bud Cunnally at :
budcunnally@... for more information.  Bud is a member of the
Potomac Appalachian Trail Club.

Thank you and Happy Trails,

Hi everyone,

While riding at the park on Saturday I noted that someone had mis-
judged the newly added soft groundwork between the parking lot and
riding arena while it was still a bit wet.  The result, about 4-6
inch deep pickup and trailer ruts.  While I realize that the horses
will sink into the soft soil while we wait for the ground to harden,
I would recommend we keep the trailers to the edge of the parking
lot.  Hopefully by next Spring's series of shows, the ground will
support the additional weight.

An additional note on the new work being done.  The drainage ditch to
the East of the arena has been cleaned out and is being leveled out
for an additional trailer parking and horse riding area (no, no
additional soccer fields in that area either).  Please also use
caution over the next several months on that newly laid soil as it
also will experience the same sinking effects.  Please be patient as
the end results will be a great improvement to what we have had for
the equestrian before the work.

If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.

Happy Riding,
Scott Helberg

Hi Folks,

 

As you may, or may not know, the NVCEO, in partnership with Fairfax 4 Horses and the Fairfax Co. Park Authority had planned a major sponsor based fundraising event for this coming Saturday, Nov. 8 at the site of the future Laurel Hill Regional Public Equestrian Center.  However, many of our prime sponsors informed us that the economic situations have changed so much that they did not feel they could go forward with their sponsorships at this time.  Instead of going forward with the event, without our major sponsors, we decided to postpone the event until Spring ’09.

 

With the postponement of the “major” event until Spring ’09, we feel it is even more urgent and imperative that we, the horse community, demonstrate to the Park Authority that we are solidly behind supporting this facility.  The Park Authority has task Fairfax 4 Horses with raising $300,000 in private funding, demonstrating the horse community’s ability to partner with the Park Authority to fund the infrastructure improvements at the Laurel Hill Public Equestrian Center.  The NVCEO major event was one of the first steps towards that project.  Since we have had to postpone the major event due to the economic slowdown we don’t want the Park Authority to lose faith in the horse community’s support of the Laurel Hill Public Equestrian Center project.

 

$300,000 is a “big elephant” … and you eat an elephant … “one bite at a time”.  Although our major event has been postponed to Spring ’09, the NVCEO would like to still hold a “pre-open house”, of sorts, at Laurel Hill, this Saturday, November 8 by hosting a “Charity Trail Ride” and after ride “Tail-gate”.  Although the equestrian park is not officially open, almost 8 miles of new trails have recently been completed by the IMBA Trail Crew through Park Authority funding.  This Saturday, Nov. 8, will be our opportunity to introduce these new trails to the community, and build some interest and momentum behind the fundraising efforts for the “Laurel Hill Public Equestrian Center Fund”.  We want you to come out this Saturday and experience this beautiful site, the initial trails that have been developed, and the vision of the future Laurel Hill Regional Public Equestrian Center.  This facility will be the site of the NVCEO “Great Escape” Equestrian Challenge in the Spring of ’09. 

 

Pitch a few dollars into the hat this Saturday when you get there or save your dollar for the Spring “Great Escape” Trail Challenge, it’s your choice.  The only requirement is that you show up Saturday to demonstrate support for this future Fairfax County regional equestrian park.  Although it is not required, feel free to bring a tail-gate dish to share.  Jimmie Jones, NVCEO President, will be bringing a huge pot of his famous chili.  He says it will be the best chili that you have ever eaten, but we will let you be the judge of that.

 

We think everyone will be very impressed with the new trails that the Fairfax County Park Authority has completed.  (Click Here for Trail Map)

 

 We hope that you will support this event, Saturday, Nov. 8, even if you don’t plan to ride.  Come out – show your support and be impressed with what has already been accomplished as we move toward the funding goal of this future regional public equestrian facility.

Hi NHS.

If anyone knows of the referenced pet grave below, please let me
know.  The Park Authority would like to permit the owner to re-

703-855-4011


Teddy Stewart and staff discovered a shallow grave today on one of
their horse trails. It appears to be freshly dug 2 feet x 1½ feet and
it had a lot of stones on top of it. There was a stone used as a
headstone and it had scratched on it KAT 03/08. There was a shovel
broken in 2 pieces beside it. The staff started to dig it up until
they came across a velvet type cloth, upon seeing that they covered
the grave back up.



Kathy suggested I call you because you know someone in Public Works
that could deal/help with that. I am on my way to Fairfax; if you
need anything from me call my Nextel 571 – 722 – 8853 or my personal

Hi all,
I'm a little later than I planned on doing this but...  I just
wanted to send out a HUGE thanks to the volunteers who came out on
Sun. to make the Western show happen.  It was a beautiful day for
our last show of the season and I for one had a great time.
I did take some pictures, which I'm working on getting posted, but
it was hard since I was also riding.  Thank you Bobbi for taking
pictures after I decided it was just too hard to try to ride and
take everyone elses pictures.
I wasn't there in the morning but thank you so much Karen Basala for
being there to help Natalie, I'm sure you were a life saver.  Thank
you Debby and Cindy for for doing the gate and timers in the speed
events we couldn't have done it without you.
Of course Gary, as always, thanks for your wonderful announcing and
being there for us.
Thank you to all the others I don't know by name that may have been
there helping too.
Last but not least... THANK YOU Natalie!!!  Thank you for pulling it
all together last minute to have the show. Thanks for being the
manager this year, without you there wouldn't have been any shows at
all.
Happy riding.
See you at the awards banquet.

This Sunday is the largest one-day event hosted by the NHS all year.  It is the Nokesville Horse Society leg of the NVCEO Crystal Crown Series Judged Trail Ride.  If you have never been to a judged trail ride this is a great time to come out and volunteer to help your organization.  Absolutely no experience is needed.  Below you will find a list of volunteer positions, a brief description of what you will be doing and the time commitment needed.  Again, no experience is needed.  We will provide all the instructions to you when you arrive.

 

This year's event is the 6th Annual NHS Crystal Crown Judged Trail Ride and one of the most admired rides in the series of rides coordinated by the Northern VA Coalition of Equestrian Organizations (NVCEO).  Many riders routinely tell us that the NHS event is the best ride in the series.  As in the previous years, the NHS ride will be held at the beautiful Sky Meadows State Park near Delaplane and Paris, VA.  Delaplane is just a short ride out I-66 past Marshall.  The leaves are in perfect color and we have ordered perfect weather for the event.  Directions to the event are listed at the bottom of this email.  We have over 130 horse & rider participants at this year's ride.

 

If you can help in any way, just for half a day or the whole day, we will find a suitable spot for youWe need YOU this Sunday! Our most dire need is for obstacle judges and judge's helpers

 

Do not respond to this email.  Please contact our Event Manager, Marlys Shoup at MarlysShoup@..., or 703-402-3725 (cell), or 703-754-4981 (home) to let her know you can help.  Again, no experience is needed and we need your help to make this event once again the best ride in the Crystal Crown Series.

Subject: [NHS Friends & Members Message Board] BIG THANKS to Fence Building Crew!

Dear NHS Members & Friends,

I would like to thank our 15-strong, fence-building crew for joining
together to complete the 3-board fence along Hickerson Lane at the
Nokesville Park Equestrian Arena last Sunday!!

We had a great time, everyone worked hard, we worked as a team and got
the job done in a little over 4 hours. People measuring, cutting,
drilling, carrying, holding, hammering, sawing, hauling and
celebrating as we completed 500 feet of fencing. JOB WELL DONE, CREW!!!!

I've attached just a few photos from the day and will post the rest on
our website "PHOTOS" page sometime this weekend.

Here is the list of those wonderful people who contributed their
Sunday morning for the good of the citizens of PWC and our equestrian
community:

Laurie Armstrong
Jim Basala
Cleve Benton
Faye Brewster
Scott Helberg
Karen Keith
Patty Lugiano
Bobbi McIntyre
Chuck Moss
Tara Skillman
Jeff Shoup
Marlys Shoup
Debby Stansell
Ben Pittman
Cindy Pittman

Thanks again!!!

Bobbi
