    Well, would you believe, since this last post Buddy has started going out 
to the barn with me in the afternoon -- he's started getting excited about X 
and the carriage.  And, for the past couple of days, HE has done the driving 
of X and I've ridden Sham (she's definately needed the workout). I'm so happy 
that he's decided to come along!!
