The only Dorrance book I have is True Unity by Tom Dorrance. I'd love to see that photo. How was Tom D getting himself into the saddle?
We do have a patient life, although we rarely use it. Stephanie can transfer herself by standing briefly, Ronnie can do a sliding transfer, I sort of slide Brenda on my knees and Bruce does a full lift on Jenny. They all weigh in at about just 100 lbes, but they have different physical issues. I was going to take pictures one day of Stephanie standing to groom Tosca. I put the vaulting surcingle on, thinking Steph could hold herself up with one hand and brush with the other. Everything went wrong and Stephanie went sliding feet first under Tosca, good pony, who stood their like the little trooper she is while I pulled Stephanie back out. I decided that was not one of my better plans. Nancy
