Breathing Easy: Supporting Respiratory Health in Horses
Healthy lungs fuel stamina. Protect them daily with smart barn choices, hydration, and recovery support.
Fall Horse Activities: Riding, Pumpkin Patches, and More
Seasonal Guide
7 Fall Activities for You and Your Horse
Cool temps, crunchy leaves, and barn-time that actually restores you both.
1) Foliage Trail Ride
Best season for long views and steady miles. Map a loop, tell someone your route, and pack water, a hoof pick, and a charged phone.
2) Pumpkin Patch Field Trip
Desensitize with farm sounds, trailers, and decor. Keep it calm, keep it short, and snag those hero shots for the barn wall.
3) Costume Schooling Day
Host a low-pressure arena session: capes that break away, reflective bands at dusk, zero fabric over eyes/ears. Award “Safest Design.”
4) Orchard Ride & Apple Stop
If your local orchard allows horses, plan a quiet-hour visit. Mind footing around fallen fruit and pack out cores.
5) Fall Schooling Shows
Cool weather = better focus. Tune your warm-up plan, memorize ride times, and keep tack checks tight between classes.
6) Weekend Horse Camping
Book equestrian sites with pens or high-lines. Bring extra layers, spare halters, and a hoof-care kit for rocky trails.
7) Wellness & Winter Prep
Schedule vet + farrier, review vaccines, check blanket fit, and set a hoof/skin care routine before mud season hits.
Pro tip: Add five extra minutes to warm-up and cool-down in cooler weather—your future self (and your horse) will thank you.
