PUT YOUR DOGS ON A LEASH!!!!!!!!!!

Last night Tango and I were riding a public trail down the road we frequent and were confronted by two unleashed dogs [later identified as a Pit Bull and a Labrador - the media story says only the Pit Bull attacked the horse]

One of them viciously attacked Tango and was hanging off her face as Tango tried to get away. 

Tango was tough as nails and patiently waited 4 hours for the amazing Doctor Hutten to stitch her back together. She is doing well and happily eating her hay. Thank you everyone for your messages and worrying for us. This has been an absolute nightmare.

Stephanie Megan - I'd press charges honestly against the owner of the dogs! That is so so horrible! That poor horse! Probably In so much pain before the doctor arrived especially! Don't forget to post on the page for others to see who ride/walk that trail! Hope you didn't get hurt? Are you ok?

Margot Loughrie - OMG, how traumatic this must have been for you both!! Press charges, the dog was clearly not under control. Hope you both recover quickly x

Yvonne Gallagher - Hope your poor horse recovers well.... any dog which has bitten this badly should be shot!

Juanita Nicholas Gaver - Carry a pistol and use it

Susann Warshaw Meyer Thomas - I have never heard of dogs attacking a horse
