Re: Swanton Pacific

Kathie Ford was going to crew for me, instead will be volunteering for
Barbara's crew teams. It looks like Barbara will be asking for around
40-60 volunteers if I'm reading it correctly. Your friend could
volunteer for one or two of the vet checks but make it clear that she
can do "non horse" things...like help riders with food and drinks?
Help get hay and water for the horses, can she hold a horse while
rider is tacking-up/down? If she teams up with someone with horse
knowledge, she could probably be really helpful. I know Kathie Ford
likes helping/teaching others, maybe we could get the two of them
together.

What are you driving? I'll look for you. I'm driving a silver crew cab
with a camper shell, trailer is a stock-type 2H slant load, has a
faded orange round sticker and my hard earned Tevis sticker on the back.
