Re: [RC] loose dogs mean Howard wins the ride - Barbara McCraryI used to think that it would be a just penalty to have a very large hog-wire cage, into which all loose dogs would be thrown, letting the dogs sort it out amongst themselves. However, "Dogtown" seems to be a better solution so far.

Any...wait ANY loose dog, will be caught, and put in doggie jail. The rider will be notified, and they MUST pay a fine to get their dog out. Make it hefty...$50. All money donated to a local animal shelter. It takes a person willing to do this, and an empty horse trailer to act as the dog pound. These people claim they love to have the companionship of their dog along with them at the ride, but then they turn them loose, and don't pay any attention to them all weekend! The other option is to just shoot the loose dogs. But someone might complain about that.(discharge of those guns in camp and all) Never know. The gun going off could spook some horse that the rider is bent over underneath it, trying to put easy boots on, as they always ride barefoot, (and are so proud of it) but they see this ride has rocks, so they don't want to make their horse sore because it has no hoof protection. And you know, being a LD rider, they need to be able to go really fast, as they are chasing those year end points, and they don't want sore feet to slow them down. Especially if Howard is at the ride. You know he ALWAYS races...... Did I miss anything?
