There are 2 fears I have when riding. One is that a horse jumps out into a car if riding on any sort of road... (some people can be so cruel and blow their horns and spin out on gravel as they pass), but the other is of an agressive dog running out to tear into me and my horse... which seems to be common (at least dogs running out barking with hair raised on end). It makes me so mad when this happens and even more angry when a person is outside and witnesses their dog(s) acting this way. How do you handle this situation? I have carried rocks with me to try to ping the dogs in the past, but I am such a poor aim, and when on some horses, I couldn't just do that because dogs would frighten them too much for me to be able to throw a rock.
