Re: [RC] [RC] From Cat to dogs charging - Sisu West Ranch"... but really it's just that they are unconfident dogs who think it's best to act big and tough. For dogs like this that you have to pass often, you could even carry treats ..." The best defense is a good offence. Turn your horse to face the dog or dogs, and come at them at a trot or lope. Once the first dog turns tail (they all do, they are already afraid) the horse will realize this is fun. Then the possibility of the horse doing other than a spin towards the dog is reduced to near zero. In my experience, after one or two treatments the dog will either sit on the porch quietly, or hide when it hears a horse.
