Bonfire/Fire Smell's and That Scent That Falling Leaves Make......

Anyone Else???????

 

[Achinghips]

No hay fever or flies

 

[Haphazardhacker]

The gorgeous autumunal trees, ground that isnt rock solid. Our first hunt experience (newcomers meet we are aiming for). Hopefully by autumn I will have an ulcer free horse (touches wood). No flys.

having some stone put down in front of the stables - no mud this winter.

 

[alainax]

Riding again! Had a baby a few weeks ago, haven't rode since 3 months pregnant

Backing my newly adopted Blue Cross Pony.

 

[Wheels]

No midges for my sweet itch pony!!

 

[Gentle_Warrior]

Clipping and chilly but sunny days. No flies

 

[YorksG]

Riding during the day, mid week!

 

[Sealine]

Autumn hunting

I'm looking forward to some sun! It's been such a bad summer I'm assuming it has to be good.

I enjoy the routine of autumn too. All shows are done so there's time to relax and do more fun activities than working to show.

 

[DD]

doing lots of riding.

1)Foraging on horseback! We've been eyeing up some damson trees, not to mention elderberries, blackberries, sloes, hazelnuts on our hacks!
2) My daughter riding again after a summer spent in hospital - planned surgery at the end of last term went well but she then had complications and has been in, out & recently back in for over 2 weeks... so she hasn't seen our pony much

 

[spotty_pony2]

Leafy Autumn hacks, Autumn Hunting...and then Opening Meet!

 

[catembi]

Riding...we are 2 days into our lungeing rehab (KS surgery) & so have 4 weeks & 5 days to go before we start ridden work! Excited!

I'm looking forward to apple and blackberry crumble, crisp morning rides with no flies and doing the Cotswold Way non stop in 30 hrs (without the horse!).

Having a reason to clip ponio this year because hopefully (touch wood!) he won't injure himself just as his coat comes through, and have too much time off to need a clip. The last time he had an injury free autumn was two years ago. ^^'

Stubble fields!

Fingers crossed we'll be doing our first endurance/pleasure ride (dunno what to call it really) in October. Looking forward to it heaps now I've gotten some advice from a lovely person on these forums, who'll know exactly who they are if they read this. ;P

Not waking up five times a night because I'm too hot but compulsively burrow under the covers anyway.

 

[EquiEquestrian556]

Nice smart clipped horses, hound exercises, chilly fresh mornings

 

[npage123]

Going to bring the doggies in to work every day, starting from roughly the beginning of Autumn whenever that's gonna be

 

[Centauress]

Going Sweet Chestnut Hunting......

 

[Enfys]

That noise that dry leaves make

Oh, and also not having to live underneath 5 mature walnut trees, pick up the nuts (by the barrowload), risk a head injury going outside when they are falling, or hearing them drop on the roof as if you are in a warzone.

 

[caras mum]

Stubble fields!!! YeeeeeHaaaaaa!!!

 

[Sukistokes2]

Less flies and the first clips of the year! Plus my birthday!

Backing my newly adopted Blue Cross Pony.

How lovely

Sloe gin, my native being able to enjoy some time out un-muzzled (he's laminitic) after the last flush of grass, bright & sunnt hacks as the leaves & landscape begin to change, hot chocolate after said hacks and I rather enjoy my pony's winter coat - he's so fluffy and snuggable.

 

[Centauress]

All The Mushrooms And Colourful Leaves......

 

[marmalade88]

Clipping! Clipping and did I mention clipping.

I am permanently covered in ginger hair at the moment and cannot wait to get it all off the boy.

 

[impresario08]

no bloody horse flies

 

[Ellevis]

Lovely smart clipped ponies! Crisp frosty mornings, autumnal hacks, autumn hunting

 

[Equine_Dream]

Hunting. Clipping. Cold but sunny days. No flies. Bonfires and cuddles in the stables
