Photo Challenge: 27 Loyal Barn Dogs
Barn doggos are the best doggos, and we’ve rounded up 27 of the best of the best, as submitted by our readers. Horse Nation, you’re in good paws.
No barn is complete without its requisite canine mascot, whether it’s a working herding dog, a lovable mutt that “guards” the tackroom couch or the quintessential small horse show dog that keeps the place rolling. For this week’s photo challenge, we wanted to see your barn dogs in action around the place — and as always, our readers really delivered!

Merlin the Old English Sheepdog is our official mustang gentler at A Mustang Named Folly & Friends. When I get a new wild mustang in, he always ends up getting first touch in before I can. He also helps these horses see that dogs can be loveable friends instead of dangerous wolves. Photo by Chelsea Gammon Bowen
