Love the pic - I often ride to the vale on a Sunday so will look out for you! I'll be the one on a brown horse in the pink jacket who has to go and say hello to all the dogs (and owners in case they have mints in their pockets!)!!
We were 'attacked' at Tiviot last Sunday by 2 Doberman at Tiviot Dale. We were cantering along a track when the dogs just appeared from the other side of a line of trees and were barking around the horses' legs. Luckily our horses are all well used to dogs, but the silly owner couldn't get hold of her dogs so they barked at us and ran around the horses legs for 20 minutes. Other dog walkers were astounded that our horses hadn't kicked out and commented on how good they were - luckily for this daft woman!
Takes all sorts I guess - sad thing is these dogs were lovely, just the owner who needed to go to training classes I think!
