Horses, breeding and eventing, are the mark of the aristocracy. The Queen's corgis are a little fancy extra because she already has horses.

LOL, we have horses and I will try to remember to act "aristocratic" the next time I am mucking stalls or slinging bales of hay.  Does anyone have a gaggle of corgis I can borrow???[/quote]

I know, right? Anyone who's ever had horses knows it ain't all that glamorous![/quote]

It's true the Corgi is a classic horseperson dog, though.  Along with JRTs.  You can't go to a competition without stumbling over several dozen of each.  Usually some trainer has a posse of JRTs running wild around the showgrounds spooking all the horses, and they never ever put them on a leash.  It amazes me that so many horse people have incredibly rude dogs.  If you can train a 1200 lb animal to jump 5' fences, you'd think you'd have more control over your 25 lb. one.[/quote]

I'm the first PP in this and we use our horses for utilitarian ranch/cattle work here in Frederick county, no jumping fences, but lots of cutting, fence checking, and herding.  Our farm dog is an amazing Aussie who does the work of about five humans.  We can usually get the calves where they need to go with just me on horseback, the dog running the stragglers, and the DH manning the gate/trailer chute.[/quote]
