as many of you have heard by now, Linda was in a driving accident last Saturday, 6/12. We were attending a CDE clinic at Hickory Knoll Farm in Fitchburg WI. Clinicians were John & Betsy Freiburger and Deb Bevins. The morning was devoted to driven dressage and the afternoon to driving hazards. As we were not going to drive Reidar in the hazard portion, Linda volunteered to be the navigator for an Intermediate driver that is local to the Madison area, Cathy Thomas. Linda was so excited to learn more about navigating as she had plans to attend Bromont (CAN) the last weekend in June, navigating for Andy Marcoux. After successfully driving the water hazard and the sunflowers, Cathy and Linda came to the hazard called "Stormin' Norman"....where I was one of the timers. They had multiple successful runs, trying different routes...and on the last run, which by the way, was the fastest for them...experienced an accident with the carriage tipping over. They did not hit anything (tree, gate, etc). It was an ACCIDENT with no specific reason to place blame. Both Cathy and Linda were wearing their helmets and safety vests! Most likely why both ladies will be able to tell their own story! Cathy has a fractured pelvis and Linda sustained a concussion. Linda is still in the ICU unit where they can monitor the pressure inside her head. She does have her cell phone...so has been able to send messages to Facebook. Cards and letters can reach Linda at University of Wisconsin Hospital, 600 Highland Ave., Madison, WI 53792 OR to her home in Holmen, WI. Email: syversonsfjordl...@gmail.com Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers....we want her back driving!!
