For most of the year, my husband, Mark Rashid, and I travel from one side of the United States to the other, hauling three horses and teaching equines and their humans how to get along. We are a lot like mail carriers, or marriage vows: we teach rain or shine, in sickness and in health. Our three dogs— Ring, 10, and Kate, 5, female Border Collies, and Jasper, 4, a male Husky mix—are part of this mobile entourage.
The nature of our work means that we spend a lot of time in unfamiliar places where there are not only other horses but also, dogs, barn cats, chickens, llamas, pigs, goats and any number of other animals, all of which we ask our horses and dogs to politely ignore. In particular, it’s important that our dogs avoid startling the horses and people with whom we’re working.
