["Ron & Tracy Helget" <helget@wamego.net>]

Dana:

I would take all the websites I can to research. I would like to get involved 
in this, however I don't feel qualified to start/organize the entire thing by 
myself. Perhaps the two of us can work together to get something going in 
this region.

Training is the first step. Osage Beach is a ways off, but perhaps we could 
consider doing their training together as our first step? We'll need to look 
into the next training, costs, etc. 

This has been a busy week so I haven't gotten much done with this; perhaps 
this disgustingly hot weekend I'll spend some time on the computer!

Looking forward to perhaps meeting you.

By the way, we do a lot of trail riding across the state, some at Kanopolis, 
alot at Randolph. Up to joining us sometime? The different environments are 
good training and conditiong for the horses.

Please contact me at my new email; I need to update it on this list.
