Based on the fact that we don't pay writers either, I am sure that we
can share articles!

fail.

Dorothy,
Could I suggest that you ask Helen for permission to reprint articles
posted on DrivingnPairs? I am sure that we could work out an
arrangement of cross-promotion that would be advantageous to all
involved...I am not sure of your fee schedule for articles as it has
been years since I wrote professionally...it was amazing how little
some magazines paid...and how much others did! I got $50 for an
article about horse barn building design from an American magazine, and
then a check for $150 from Nova Scotia for the same one!
Anyhow, the driving community is small, so the more exposure we can all
give to the efforts of people like Jay who are willing to share their
time and experience.

Hi Jay, I think it would be fun to put a section in my magazine called
"Tandem Talk", unfortunately, I am a tandem dummy. Do you think you
and or some of your tandemaniacs might be interested in writing for
ACD? Doesn't pay well, but it does get you a free magazine and all
the glory you can handle. Not to mention that I am always open to
other articles that suites someone's particular fancy.

Last weekend, I had the opportunity to help a friend with her newly
organized
tandem of Morgan ponies. She had driven them as a tandem once
before, and really
got hooked. Fortunately, she is wise enough to know NOT to drive
them without
help, not that her husband is not a helper, but he does not know much
about
tandems.
We switched positions from the way they had been hooked before, to
see if the
younger, more forward pony would make a leader. He was absolutely at
a loss.
Although bold and forward as a single, out there all by himself, with
his buddy
right behind, he was totally confused. He kept drifting back
alongside the
wheeler. We switched them back and viola, we had a tandem! The
point I am
making is that one cannot always tell from how they act as singles
now they will
perform in a tandem. Poor Rio just did not know how to deal with it,
but in the
wheel, he was super!
Since my friend does not have any real tandem harness, we "made do" with two single harnesses, and a bunch of baling twine. She did have a pair of buckle in to the throat latch roger rings, so that was good, and a bountiful supply of pear snaps, including a couple of very large ones we used as tandem terrets. Pear snaps also took the place of tandem keys on the trace buckles.
Needless to say, with two greenies, we had a couple of "tandem
moments" where
things got a little exciting, but we were very pleased at how well
the boys did.
The leader went forward when asked and the wheeler backed when asked,
and things
got straight in a hurry.
After a very pleasant session with the boys, we took out my new mare as a single and had a nice drive around the neighborhood. Jazz is intended to become my wheeler, assuming she continues to progress. We will be at the Arizona and Ram Tap CDE's as a training single pony and after that we'll see how she is doing. Needless to say, I really miss the tandem!
Y'all play nice and drive safely!

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!
