    A random musing

    BHS suggests keeping horses head away from dog, and allowing horse to defend itself. And also socialising horses and dogs so they are used to each other. http://www.horseaccidents.org.uk/Advice_and_Prevention/Dog_Attacks.aspx "Should the worst happen and you are attacked by a dog while...
