Riding in the Fall
(click the photos to see them in large view)


A lthough summer is my season, I do enjoy the vibrant colors of fall. It is a pretty loud reminder that winter is around the corner (brrrrr), but it has to be the most picturesque view mother nature has to offer all year round!

As most of you know, my favorite thing to do is trail ride and I have been doing a lot of that this past summer with many different horse friends, but mostly with my riding partner, Nancy.

It had been raining all morning and the day before, but the sun decided to stick it's bright face out so we decided we'd get a ride in. Nancy, myself, Heather and Sally and our trusty mounts get ready for an afternoon ride that would offer the brisk cool air of fall along with it's colors of gold, brown and yellow.

unfortunately, a down pout quickly reminded us of just in control mother nature is of our daily plans. Sally and I were still tacking up in the barn, but pour (pun intended haha) Nancy and Heather had started the trek down to the barn to meet us. As we waited patiently for the rain to stop or slow down, these two poor cowgals and their mounts were soaked to right through.

The pour didn't' last long and off we went. It was a three hour ride in total, not as long as we normally do, but nonetheless, still the only therapy that I'll ever need.

With winter fast approaching, I plan to get in as many trail rides as I can. Although, I still ride in the winter, we don't' get to venture off too far with the amount of snow we do get living in the North.
