Re: [RC] Worrying in advance - Sharon LevasseurI hadn't thought of having a "dogs on leash" policy listed in the flyer, only because the ride flyers I copied from didn't have one. Good idea, both on its own merits and because it might indeed help in my arguments to the barn owner. I wasn't going to use the potential liability issues, for just that reason. ;-) Thanks! -Sharon L.

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.
