This message is from: "Cynthia Madden" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I did it. I drove tandem for the first time! Linda Fairbanks just completed a three-day clinic here and we actually got Nigel, Tank and me unscrambled and on our way. I am so excited. Some day, when Teddy aka Starfire Chiron is ready, I hope to do a Tank and Teddy Tandem but for now I have good ol' Nigel and steady Tank for learning. It was great. Also thanks to Brian and Dave for their mentoring to help me get ready to take advantage of Linda's presence.
Teddy went off site to the clinic location. His first time off premises since he arrived 18 months ago. He just walked right in the trailer. His uncle Nigel accompanied him and they had an overnight. Linda gave me a great program to get him started easy and correctly. So now I have lots to do and am very motivated. BTW, if you are looking for a great carraige driving clinician, Linda Fairbanks is one of the best. This is her second year here, she is so popular. This year we added a 3rd day for our members in Roswell and Linda and I trooped the 3 hours from Las Cruces to Roswell so she could do a Sunday Clinic then returned last night. We had everything from mini's to 17.2 belgians. She is kind and fair but tells it like it is. She is also an extremely good sport. -- Cynthia Madden Las Cruces, NM personal: [EMAIL PROTECTED] NFHR: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http:/www.geocities.com/cmadden88011 An unconscious people, an indoctrinated people, a people fed only on partisan information and opinion that confirm their own bias, a people made morbidly obese in mind and spirit by the junk food of propaganda, is less inclined to put up a fight, to ask questions and be skeptical. That kind of orthodoxy can kill a democracy or worse. - Bill Moyers, National Conference on Media Reform St. Louis, Missouri May 15, 2005
