The last we checked, the most common ticket that was written by rangers at Staunton State Park was for off-leash dogs. We love seeing your pooches, and that they are getting out for exercise with you, but please keep them leashed at all times. We have equestrians who use the trails, people who bring alpacas, llamas, and donkeys to walk (or train!), and wildlife that can be stressed or killed by aggressive dogs. For everyone's safety, please leash your pets - we appreciate it!
"LAKEWOOD, Colo. -- Jayne Sanders' clavicle is broken, so are five of her ribs - one of which punctured her lung. She's back in her Lakewood home following six days in the hospital after she was bucked off her horse. However, Sanders doesn't blame the horse, she blames the off-leash dog at Addenbrooke Park Horse Trail last Saturday.
She's been knocked off her horses before, always the same reason.
"I've come off the horse four times before this because of dogs off leash and every time the owner said, 'I didn’t think my dog would do that,'" Sanders said."
