[drivingpairs] Tandems With 4 wheels

Like Jerry, I have used a 4 wheeler with my tandem, but only in the marathon 
phase of a CDE.

Two wheelers are the traditional tandem vehicle and in pleasure driving shows, 
where the judging is rigorous and knowledgeable, I believe one would get marked 
down for using a 4 wheeler, except perhaps, a 4 wheeled Dog Cart.  Since tandem 
is pretty useless from a practical standpoint, tradition is very important in 
the 
show ring.

If you look at the home page of the list, you will note the cover photos of our 
feeble attempt at a random.  We used Carolyn Harris' Bell Crown 4 wheeler so we 
could have a more stable platform as we tried to sort things out.  I had the 
cart 
I use for tandem there at the event, but we felt safety was more important than 
tradition.

Jerry, I strongly second your advice regarding the fast groom! <LOL>  When one 
is 
driving a tandem, especially  of ponies, things can happen so fast you would 
not 
believe it.  My grooms have saved my bacon more than once!

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, because you are crunchy and taste good 
with ketchup.

And I STILL drive too fast to worry about cholesterol!
