==========================================

I appreciate all the good suggestions about dealing with loose dogs.  Are there 
good suggestions dealing with horses that charge up?  We have to pass several 
fence lines to get to the trails.  Different landowners.  And different groups 
of horses.  One pasture of yearlings, several pastures of expecting mares, a 
few with mares and foals, and another with a mixed herd and one aggressive 
gelding. The path is narrow and runs along these fence lines.  No other way to 
get around to the trails.

I have carried small pebbles, but my aim and balance on a reacting horse is 
poor.  This is the second year and my horse still reacts.  Even after many hand 
walks by this area.  I am nervous about taking my second horse out on the 
trail. He is five and newly under saddle.  He has a more determined way of 
reacting!
