    Yep .... perfect sense ....... I'm "groom" as in handling the horse out 
of the trailer ...... grooming the horse and helping with the 
harness/carriage etc.  I don't ride with them.
    HOWEVER, I had another neat plan maybe -- since I'm bringing Tuffy along 
for company for X ..... then I thought maybe I'd also bring along his cart 
...... then trail along at a comfortable distance behind Buddy .... that way 
when they got to where they were going I could handle X for him (then I would 
have to dress appropiantly (sp)).

    I never thought of doing that but I'll bet it would be fun ...... I'll 
have to see where they are showing harness around here.

WONDERFUL time with this!!!!  And, it's so much fun having Buddy do it with 
me too!!
