Author: Valerie Dancer The size difference between dogs and horses is usually that thehorse is very much larger than the dog. Nevertheless, mosthorses are much more frightened of dogs than the reverse. Thiscreates unique problems - for dogs and horses, and for theperson who has to control them both. When introducing dogs and horses, unlike other animal trainingareas, it helps very little to start the interaction out whenboth animals are young. Young horses are at least as skittishas older ones, and are often accompanied by a mare. Neither isnaturally fond of nor curious about puppies. To a horse, nearlyeverything but their owners and a few other horses are threats -at least until they're mature. But when mixing dogs and horsesit can be very useful to introduce your young puppy to olderhorses at a very early age, as this will help to avoid thebarking problem. But there are many circumstances where dogs and horses interactsuccessfully. Wheth
