At the 2004
Symposium, Sally Swift brought it to our attention
that 2005 would be the 10th aniversary of our Symposium
and she hopes that more people will make a special effort
to attend this Centered Riding celebration.
Mark November
4-6 on your calenders and plan to attend! This year's
Symposium is being co-chaired by Elaine Merideth Steele elaine@trinergy.net and

So that Sally Swift is able to attend, the Symposium is
again being held in Sally's home town Brattleboro, Vermont at the Quality
Inn. Elaine & Sally are busy developing our most
exciting symposium to date. They are lining up
an exciting roster of speakers including Max Gawyler,
reknowned clinician and author. This is a great opportunity
to meet Sally Swift in person and network with like-minded
people. Details will be announced in this newsletter
as speakers are confirmed. The Quality Inn has a block
