Yeah Goldfields, it is up to the dogs owner to keep it safe but unfortunately around here there is that mentality, it seems, that country dogs should just roam free. She shoots willy nilly when the dogs cross her fields, not even near her horses.
Mine have yet to get a chance to get down to her place and thats the way it will remain.
As for the guy in this article, I'm sorry, if he managed to get in his house to get a gun, he could have just stayed in the house and called authorities. I am yet to see a horse so crazed that it is a threat to someone in a house. But who knows, this draft mix could have been hopped up on grain or something.
Who knows how many times this persons horses ended up at his place? By the looks of her fencing on the news it wasn't the greatest, but that being said, even the best of fences have been run through by a spooked horse.
