Buddy drove X again tonight -- gosh, they are BOTH getting good at this
stuff now !!!  X is VERY alert but he doesn't shy at anything 
....... well, ALMOST nothing.....
    Howard from up the street come tullee boppin' down the road in his 
go-cart ...... well, X looked at it as it was coming towards him ...... 
everything was fine until they got side by side ...... X "sort of" went a 
little sideways (I was scared to death he was going to "take off" - he 
didn't). Buddy very calmly talked to X and everything was fine again and they 
continued on just like nothing had happened.
    I was riding Sham and we had fallen in behind the carriage as I saw 
Howard coming our way -- shoot, I wasn't sure what EITHER horse would do as 
they had never seen a go-cart before.  Sham was upset (but then she had BEEN 
upset all evening - she doesn't like that carriage -- she doesn't like X -- 
she was in heat ((and that really explaines her 'itchy attitude )).  
Well, she hopped thisa way, then thata way, crow hopped a bit ..... heck, X 
was all over it in just a second or two -- Sham was acting up for a good 10 
mintues after that.
    Sooooooooo, that's the story of tonight's ride.  I sure like the looks of 
X and that carriage!!
