Barbara knows how I feel about dogs.  I bring a bunch with me.  My first 
German Shepherd attended 11 consecutive Castle Rock rides until dogs were 
banned.  However, I am convinced that if just one person were told you have 
broken the rules and you cannot ride, or,  if one person were disqualified 
after the fact because they were found to have broken the rules people would 
be sure to thing twice next time.  I was fully prepared to do just that at 
the SASO ride, but no one broke the rules.  Rules are rules and they must be 
followed or you must suffer the consequences......mb
