Tandem...much to my surprise, shock, and sometimes unbearable grief, I find myself without a working, competitive tandem--after so many years of CDE / dressage/ and just go for the sheer fun of it/ tandem driving. To those of you trying tandem, go for it; there is no greater joy when it goes well. Conversely, there is no greater and quicker disaster when it does NOT go well. But therein lies the challenge. Drive single, pair, four, unicorn, what have you...there is nothing like a good tandem. Please don't underestimate the dangers--no matter the size or skill of your horses or yourself. Study where you can, with whom you can, and with as many equine combos as possible. Most comparably-trained four-in-hands are more stable than most tandems. When you and two equines can 'talk' in tandem, with precision, and at speed when needed, there's nothing else like it in this little world of ours. Hope to see you all out there again someday. Happy driving, tandemtiger --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier.
