Re: [RC] Dogs On Horseback - Sharon Levasseur

I've SEEN dogs ride on horseback in two ways... one in a pommel pack (on one side) and one just sitting on the rump. The latter had a pad of some sort, probably similar to a buddy seat. Both dogs were Jack Russell types, I believe. I do not know how much either dog weighed. Neither rider was into much speed. The saddlepack dog is this one:

Dear Riders,


How many of you out there have dogs that will ride with you on horseback? If you do, would you tell me how that came about, how they ride, and if you have to have something spercial for them to hold on to?

My terrier is a little fireplug. Not fat, just stocky and muscular. She is about the size of most 8 - 12 pound dogs and weighs 20 (thighs Arnold S. would drool over). When I went riding with her recently, she really got overheated and so I would like for her to be able to take a break on the horse from time to time to prevent that. My other dog is a Border Collie with more stamina than any of that breed I have ever seen (and I have had a lot of them).

Thanks for your help,
Benedikte
