Re: RC: Dogs in ridecamp and children

["Nancy Mitts" <mitts_n@hotmail.com>]

I do see some difference between a horse being ridden on trail & one 
standing at the trailer half asleep or whatever & have a bike come zooming 
around a corner of the trailer.
With all the unforeseen/unpreventable things that can happen at a ride, why 
add to the trouble by allowing unecessary hazards? I wouldn't dream of 
taking my horse along to a dog show, or show up with one 
(intentionally<BG>)at a bike race.
Well behaved dogs & kids are part of the family package, but this is a HORSE 
event.  Some priority should be given to them.
