[Giveaway] 5 Reasons To Spend Harvest Season on Horseback

Autumn rides are the seasoned trail-rider’s best-kept secret. The cool morning air is crisp and refreshing, popular trails are finally quiet, and the fall foliage is all the more beautiful from five feet above the ground.

While summer is widely considered to be the peak of riding season, there’s no reason to stop hitting the trails after Labor Day. To help keep your riding season going, PetMeds® is giving away a gift certificate that you can use for all your trail riding supplies and needs

Here’s the five biggest reasons we love trail-riding in the fall:

Rides are no sweat.
If the summer heat has been keeping you off the trails, now’s the time to enjoy a crisp morning ride. Make sure to build up your horse’s endurance slowly if they haven’t been active this summer.

You’ll get the best photos.
Without the harsh sun overhead, you can finally take soft, flattering photos of your horse that capture their natural beauty, even if you’ve only got your phone camera to work with. The warm red and golden shades in the falling leaves create a color palette that makes any horse really “pop.” To make the most of fall photo season, you can hire a professional photographer, or even split the cost with other riders at your stable so everyone can get great shots of their horse.

You’ll see more wildlife.
Woodland creatures tend to hunker down on hot summer days. In the fall, they’re more active during the day, foraging and feasting as they bulk up for the winter. You’ll also see birds starting their migratory journey overhead. As long as you ride with others and keep your distance, you can safely enjoy watching and photographing wildlife.

It’s the best time to bond.
Just enjoy spending time with your horse! There’s nothing quite like an autumn ride at a relaxed pace with no destination or goal in mind.

Pests have started to dwindle.
While you should still stay stocked up on fly spray through the fall, you and your horse won’t be as overwhelmed with biting bugs as you were in the summer. Take advantage of chilly weather in the mornings and evenings when many flying pests start hiding from the cold.

    Where no cars, trucks or other man made structures can take away the healing power that is shared between the Noble and proud steed that has allowed the the healing process to began, the ones that seems drains the the inter spirit as well as the physical strength that is needed in this crazy mixed up world that we all call home
