Barbara,

This sounds like a wonderful opportunity.  I do hope it won't conflict with the only combined driving event in Texas -- Plum Creek CDE -- set for April 26-27 in Lockhart, Texas.   Texas used to be the home of 3 CDE's every year, but various problems -- not the least of which was loss of properties large enough to host such events --brought each of them to a close.  Now we have one struggling to take hold near Lockhart, Texas, and it's suffered the usual growing pains during these first couple of years.  The number of entries has grown, but still needs to fill out more.  The organizers have had to cut back from twice a year (fall and spring) to only a spring date.  In order for us to keep this event we need competitors and volunteers. 

If the clinic is set any other weekend, I would like more info in order to see if I could plan to bring my Morgan gelding.  A thought -- the month of May is National Carriage Driving Month -- could she plan her clinic/lessons in our area during that month if not in April?  Check the driving events calendar at the HACA web site for available dates.

Best wishes as you proceed with an opportunity from which all of us in the area would benefit.

Expect Miracles!
