π¦οΈπ΄ Spring & Summer Riding Reminder π΄βοΈ
The weather doesn't just affect usβit affects our horses too!
Spring brings fresh grass, mud, wind, and changing temperatures that can leave horses feeling energetic, fresh, or even a little spooky. Summer brings heat, humidity, flies, and longer days that can lead to fatigue, dehydration, and heat stress.
As riders, it's important to adjust our expectations and listen to our horses. Some days call for a challenging ride, while others call for a lighter session, extra breaks, or simply spending time building connection on the ground.
