I agree, Beth.  I really did post in order to start a discussion and to 
make people aware of how to be good consumers of USRider's services.  If 
I had thought to ask that the two vehicles be taken two different 
places, it would only have added to my costs, not USRider's.  And, 
unfortunately, it probably would also have added to the many hours my 
horse had to spend in the trailer because I don't think the rig that did 
haul us could have towed only the trailer (I didn't see a gooseneck ball 
anywhere).
