So, it is looking like some people are going to get together to help me
purchase a DAMA! I reached out to Andrew and asked him to get the ball
rolling. And I let Sue-Ellen and Ana know. So, Ana has decided that if I have
one in the Northeast then we probably don’t need to do the trial on Sue-Ellen’s
version. She may or may not be still interested in the Laser version and
seems to be talking with Andrew about that.
But for now, we dodged the trial bullet, I think!
I am very excited to get a DAMA here in the US and am happy to work out a way
for people to share it with me and hope we can get more people interested in
supporting its wide spread use and availability!
Talk Thursday!

Hello Organizers, Much thanks to Michelle for the recording etc.! Things are
happening so quickly, so it's hard to think exactly how we should proceed.
Suzanne brought up several important points to consider, particularly The
return shipping and insurance. I would like to try DAMA at a clinic, but
wouldn't want the responsibility of having borrowed equipment at my barn. I
think Michelle's barn would be the best place to try it, if we decide to
take Sue Ellen up on her offer.
Do we dare wait until Thursday evening to figure out how to go forward
with this?
Best,
Marcia

Subject: [blindequestriancommunityorganizers] DAMA trial
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!
