Owners must assume all liability should their stallion threaten, cause harm to another horse or rider and/or cause another horse to injure a rider because of the presence of their stallion.
  6.      In general, dogs are allowed, but on leash only and must be under control without barking which may spook horses. During certain events, dogs may be restricted from being on grounds.
