[RC] Dog attacks while riding - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: Sherie staylor@xxxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

Has anyone had the problem of being attacked by loose dogs while riding?  The 
area I ride has a rural county park where city people bring their dogs to run.  
Some of these dogs are uncontrollable and mean.  Last week, a mastiff type dog 
attacked my horse.  Luckily she was not severaly injured and the owner caught 
the dog before it went after me or my dog.  Does anyone have suggestions for 
defending myself against dog attacks while riding?  I live in Kansas and it's 
windy alot, so using MACE does not seem like a good idea for fear of it blowing 
into my face or my horses face.
