The nights are drawing in and the days are getting shorter, but it's not all doom and gloom, here are our 5 favourite things about horses in the autumn...
1: No more flies! This, alone, is cause for celebration! Lovely crisp air with not a fly in sight, nor wasp, nor hornet, nor horsefly!
2: Clipping. Well, maybe not the actual clipping, (though we will bring you some handy hits for clipping soon!) but clipped horses look just like girls coming out of the hairdressers - all shiny and happy!
3: Beautiful autumn hacks. The colours at autumn are just so stunning, and we often have perfect weather in the autumn, usually better riding weather than the heat of the summer.
4: Mucking out. I know some people hate it, but there are few things in the world more satisfying than a freshly mucked out bed all ready for coming in time.
5: Training and thinking time. The summer is usually spent in a frantic twirl of competitions, long hacks, family holidays, children, more competitions. It is so nice in Autumn to take a breather and look back at where you have come from and think about aims for the coming year. It is a chance to reflect, to catch up on some reading, and learn some new tips to make next year even better!
