[RC] Worrying in advance - Ridecamp Guest

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

Sharon,

Instead of letting the barn owners know there might be a liability problem with 
the dogs (could set off red flags and make them apprehensive about having a 
ridecamp on the property), why don't you go ask them how they want to handle 
it. I don't know what your ridecamp policy is about others bringing dogs to the 
ride, but if you have a no dogs allowed or only on a leash policy, let the barn 
owners know and then let them decide if they want to keep their own dogs in for 
the day or not. You might point out that you are concerned about one of their 
dogs getting hurt. If they do decide to let the dogs roam, you might want to 
have a no dogs at camp policy and make a note on the entry that there will be 
ranch dogs loose so at least the riders will be aware. Maybe even announce it 
at the ride meeting so people understand that this is the dogs home. Hopefully 
though, the owners will want to keep the dogs penned.

IMO, I would rather be able to have a new ride to go to and plan ahead for some 
loose dogs than not have a ride to attend.

Diane
