Keep records of when you call 911 and officers names, dates and times and if possible take photos of the dogs with your horses. I know that's the last thing you think of when it's happening but it's PROOF. We lived on acreage in AZ where ranchers used to run their cattle. Even though we were fenced sometimes the cattle would get into our yard. I'd call the livestock people and they'd come and get them. I was told that if they ever damaged anything I had to document it and the owner of the cattle would have to pay for the damages. They never damaged anything, but you could have the owner of the dogs pay for vet bills to your miniture horses. The neighbor a couple acres away had some miniture horses and we just loved them! As far as the cattle go the kids loved it when they came for them because just like in the movies they'd come on horseback with their ropes and herd them back down to the valley.
