Do any of you do this and what breed of dog do you own?
I regularly ride out on my cob with my Staffie, fortunately part of the hack is off road and the remainder is on small country lanes where you hardly meet a car and if we do a sharp whistle and he is back by our side. My cob is very laid back and doesn't mine Sonny joining us on our hacks out together. The only thing he doesn't like is when he is over exuberant at the beginning of our hack and tries to jump up but once we get going he settles down (the dog that is).
The only only time I was met with any hostility was on one occasion when we met husband and wife walkers who shouted that I should have the dog on a leash. Maybe it was because of the nature of his breed or that I really should have had him on a leash.
I don't take him anymore with us because I don't want to be irresponsible. But it saddens me that's another natural thing we can't do anymore
