Of course dof is all about the zone of acceptable sharpness. It won't suddenly go totally blurred at 9.5m and 13.5m. So it's about making a judgement call as to whether you use larger apertures and let the horses bum go soft to ensure the background is out of focus. Failing that you ensure nothing in the background is close enough to matter...or mask and use a blur filter on the background in software.
Ahh - I have little option to get away from background unless I shoot towards the hills - then the horse is in such bright light it tends to flatten the image - seems like I need to do some PC work afterwards!
