I recently went to a meeting at one of the local horse clubs where the 
speaker was a Washington State Patrolman.  The topic was the rules and 
responsibilities we have to abide by when we haul our horses.  It was quite 
an eye opener!  If we start hauling other peoples horses everything changes, 
even if we are car pooling.  We are then considered commercial.  This 
affects what kind of drivers license we have and our insurance is also 
affected.  Sure made me think.  It convinced me that I can't afford to 
carpool!
