You can buy a little sonic noise maker.  Only dogs can hear it, and the horses don't.  I bought years ago, only cost about $14, is small, hold it in your hand.  I have used riding my bike, running and riding horses.  The dogs run up to you, when they get about 15 feet from you....zapp those ears !!!   Nearly 100% of the dogs will stop, and turn back.

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.
