How to see the horsehead?

Ever since I became interested in astronomy I have always wanted to observe the horsehead nebula. I knew that I wouldn't have a chance to see it through my old 4.5 inch scope, now that I have a 12" dob I thought I would be able to see it (not having much luck).
I live on the edge of town and the lights here aren't that bright either but I still haven't been able to see it. I have 32mm, 25mm, 15mm, 9mm and 6mm eyepieces along with a Badaar moon/skyglow filter (need to get a OIII). What eyepiece would be the best to use will trying to view it?

Cheers - Craig.
