I've got a horse who will go after dogs with a vengeance. And it got me dumped and hurt!
We were on a gravel road and he spun to get after a dog coming up behind us, my saddle slipped with the quick turn and Ihad a heck of a case of road rash!

Really good point, Karen. I remember a many years ago, when I was playing guide for a rental stable, we had a problem with one homeowner whose dog would come out and harass the horses at that point in the trail. The stable owners daughter took out one of the horses that we knew hated dogs. The dog attacked - the horse kicked the dog back through the fence - end of problem. I don't think the dog was hurt, but he sure didn't attack any more horses !
The trick is to get a horse that will do that. I wouldn't have a clue as to how to train one to do that.

With all this talk about paintballing dogs and other interventions, I have not seen a recent discussion about teaching your horse to charge or attack the dog.
