I wouldn't discourage that. It's a good
defense mechanism in case she ever gets attacked by a dog. I have a horse like
that and now I don't worry about stray dogs or coyotes wandering into my pasture
because I know Cosmo will kill them or chase them off.
So what's the general solution for a dog agressive horse? My
dog and I both dislike most dogs, her to the point of stomping, kicking,
biting, throwing, whatever works easiest to shut them up. At the one ride we
went to she got hold of a Jack Russell in her pen and threw him a good ways...
Didn't go over very well with it's owner >ggg< Although we're not
competing this season she'll probably go to some rides with me and my riding
buddy just for fun (hers, not mine).

A braying mule should be acceptable because without the mule you
can't do the ride. But you don't need a dog in order to do the ride. I
think it would be fun to take a paint ball gun to a ride and shoot all
the loose dogs. : )
