Hi, Ana should not be where this is sent... that is my final opinion on that.
I'm not sure we should take sueellen up on this generous offer. I'm concerned
about international shipping from here abroad even if they can ship it here. We
need some sort of research on that or clearance from Andrew that it is
possible.
I also fear if anything happens we will be responsible to sueellen to replace
whatever she sends.
This is not a trail object in my opinion as it is a custom made and not a
regarly produced item like a bit from dressage extenstions.
Maybe 'm being too cautious but I am sure I am the most cautious voice out
there. I would love to try it but where I ride with my orse is too small to
make any real use of it. I am not riding with healing strides so won't vote for
them to try it at this point either.
I think if sabatian is interested in acquiring it and they would like to do a
clinic on their own that would be fine but they are not a dressage barn nor as
I understand it have any dressage horses. They are therapeutic and I think dama
could be great for them but maybe not the best place for Marcia or michelle or
Deborah to try it out.
Where would that be? Michelle's or Carlisle as they do have an outside 20x 60
arena there. Not sure if sarah has any interest or not.
Ana has one at her barn too but no horses.
Ok you have seen my thoughts.

Hi everyone.
I am wondering how we should decide to whom and in what order we should send
the DAMA around for trying out? Does this sound like a good idea in general to
have it sent here? Are people in this group interested in doing a trial on it?
Ana has already been in touch with Andrew and Sue-ellen and has given them her
address. But it seems we should perhaps present a plan to sue-ellen for a time
line for how long we will have it and how we will get it back. I am not clear
if Ana would pay for shipping to send it back to Sue-Ellen.
I would appreciate your thoughts, bc as always, Ana is moving quickly :)
Thanks!
Michelle
