Vent away: that was *horrible*. You live in such a tight-knit community, I'd be surprised if you didn't meet her again. I hope you get a chance to confront her without dogs or horses around: she really needs to be told not to off-leash if she can't control them. I'm sure she thought, "Oh, remote area-- no problem!" Maybe she was a dog-walker?
So happy that you and your pony weathered this all right. How is Coba doing? When mine have been attacked, they usually sleep for a day afterwards. Was he the only dog you had with you that day?
L.A.'s a crowded city and I often encounter riders on the trails. We always make sure to get well off the trail and (they) sit and wait until the rider goes by. My sister had horses and we know that some horses are fine with well-behaved dogs-- but some are spooked by anything with four legs that isn't another horse. We try to be polite.
