re: dogs and kids in camp

Maybe we should have rules that dogs AND kids (well toddlers) should
be on a leash or in a fence/play pen at all times.  I have no problem 
with people taking dogs or kids to a ride. My horse is used to rambuctious 
dogs underfoot (my dogs dont come with me to rides) and I sure don't mind 
kids playing at a ride but I don't like to see young kids running loose near 
excited horses.  If your kid doesn't know to stay well away from horses 
or your dog is not well enough trained then keep a hold of them or confine 
them - your presence in the general vicinity is not enough and I don't
ever want to live with seeing my horse step on a child. And please tell
the pit crew, and any friends who dropped by just to see what a ride was 
like.
