Taking your dog on a hack while on horseback is dangerous to both horse and rider. Unless the dog AND horse are accostomed to this at early ages, consequences are likely to occur. Countless times I have witnessed people bringing their dogs along to the barn and to shows and without warning, the dog will bolt towards the horse to get to his master (the rider). This results in two events: one is that the dog gets trampled by the horse legs and the other is that the horse spooks, possibly dumping his rider and breaking arena fences, or surrounding structures. If this happened on a "hack", the dog and rider could be seriously injured, and horse could run off. Please advise EXTREME caution to your readers. This was not a responsible suggestion.
