Ofcourse, I ‘m constantly observing my horse’s behaviour to surroundings and I know that if there’s something to be alerted to she will be the first to hear it. But, we were coming around this corner and 2 black shepherds starting running towards us. Our horses turned and bolted. I was with a friend and this was probably around the 10th time we’ve been out on these trails. My horse isn’t usually a bolter and she was in a very relaxed headset before she saw those 2 unfamiliar dogs coming towards us. Horses will be horses and they took ‘flight’. My mare has had extensive groundwork done ..we work on it regularly and desensitized to tarps, bags, cans, whips, ropes, bridges, ect. There are 5 dogs at the barn that both the horses are very used to and not spooky with in the least. Really ,what else could be done that I prevent this happening again. ???

Just I ride with a border collie, and she’s great with the horses. Just make sure horse and dog know each other well and that the dog obeys your commands without hesitation when on the trail and you’ll have a marvellous time.

My Standard Schnauzer goes out with me and my gelding thoroughbred. We are still on lead, but working towards off lead. I would enjoy more articles about this subject.

My horse enjoys their company and worries when he can’t see them (they often run after unseen things in the woods!). I can feel my horse relax when the dogs come running back. Both dogs are well behaved and stay away from the horse’s legs.
