"Trooper Jess" a 25 year old quarter horse went missing from his pasture on
October 20.  A search for days revealed nothing.  Jess reappeared in his pasture
October 28.  The feeling is that NetPosse and other rapid communication methods
such as this message board put pressure on whomever had Jess and ultimately
facilitated his return.

If anyone knows of a good horse chiropractor to work on a young morgan horse,
please contact me off list.  I'm located in northern Virginia in the Nokesville
area.

All,

I have a yearling filly for sale (18 months old).   She is a beautiful palomino
(I will provide pictures if asked).  She has been imprinted and will load in a
trailer, stand for clippers and baths; she has had professional lunge line
training.   Unfortunately, she has a bone cyst on her left hind which is causing
minor lameness.  I have had the cyst injected with steroids to see if we can get
it to fill in.

She is broodmare sound now and may be riding sound in six months but I can not
promise it.   She has beautiful movement and bloodlines and would make a nice
addition to any breeding program. I can not us her in my own program as she is a
daughter of my stallion.   I am selling her as broodmare sound only.

I have her listed for $2500 or best offer.

If interested please contact me.

Hi NHS,

I hope the fall is going well for you and your horses and want to start with a
note to remind you that NHS elections will be held this coming Wednesday at the
Membership Meeting.  Don't forget to vote for your favorite candidate.

As for Silver Lake, if you have not made a trip there to visit the park, please
do.  I think you will be impressed and will want to use it to its fullest.  The
first public Master Planning process meeting was held on Tuesday with some
equestrian friendly people, some that could care less about horses, and some
that are frightened to have horse manure wash into the lake.  The second Master
Planning meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, October 27th at Mountain View
Elementary School.  I would encourage those who can, to attend and speak a few
kind words for equestrian activities at this wonderful park.  Current
suggestions can be found online at the attached link.

http://www.pwcparks.org/ParkDevelopment/SilverLake/tabid/143/Default.aspx

There is also a Blog where you can voice your thoughts on what the Park should
be used for, both short term and longer term.  Could you imagine a Frying Pan
Park like atmosphere with another hundred acres containing trails that come and
go from the equestrian area?

Thank you all for following these developments along with me and the rest of
NHS.

Happy Riding,

Scott Helberg

Hi NHS,

Don't forget to attend the meeting to vote, or send in your absentee ballot
voting for the person you think will serve you best in each position (check with
them first to make sure they want to though).

I have had three inputs so far for people definately running for positions: 
Keith Evans for Trail Ride Director, Marlys Shoup for Quartermaster, and Whitney
Stringham for Director of Operations.  I have had interest shown by two
individuals for Public Relations, and will announce their names as soon as I
receive positive confirmation they want the position.

I have heard there are also other members interested in running, and as soon as
I get a positive "yes, I want to run for ... position", I'll announce them as
well.  Anyone with some interest in running but still on the fence, please email
me and I will send a list of board member responsibilities for each of the
positions that has been used the last several years.  My address is on the
website.

Thank you all for continuing to support NHS.

Happy Riding,
Scott Helberg

Don't forget, Nokesville Horse Society is hosting another schooling pleasure
driving show this Sunday at Bristoe Battlefield Park in No. Virginia.   This is
a great opportunity to learn about pleasure driving.   You will learn about
proper turnout, but you can come as you are turnout as long as it is clean, well
fitting and safe.

Our judge is our local driving expert - MaryAlice Matheson.   Our topic is
proper turnout as well as any questions you may have regarding how to show in a
Carriage pleasure driving show.

We have a super junior class as well as a ground driving class.   The pattern
will be determined by the judge.

Consider supporting this low key educational show by either volunteering (**we
need you**), being an exhibitor or even donating to the NHS.  We do get quite a
bit of spectators, so this is a chance to educate the local community about
carriage driving as well.  Vendors are welcome at no charge.

To learn more please visit:

Feel free to email me with any questions.
