Horses and dogs



One of the other boarders where my gelding lives brings her young, playful,
birding-type dog along with her.  Yesterday something new happened.  Her dog
was jumping all around my gelding as I was grooming, and twice my boy raised
a front leg to warn off the dog.  Never seem him do such a thing before --
he doesn't pay any attention to the dogs that belong to the farm.  Should I
discipline him for such behavior, or consider it good self-preservation?  I
don't want to allow/encourage dangerous behavior, but I also don't want to
discourage him from asserting/protecting himself when it's appropriate.
