It’s the first Monday of October, and if you’re anything like us, you spent the weekend half in a hoodie, half in a tank top, fully confused what season it was. Fall is definitely creeping in—but not before giving us one last blast of sweaty grooming sessions and muddy turnout fields.
Fall is officially here. While we’re sipping cider, digging out fleece layers, and snapping barn pics with golden leaves in the background, our horses are noticing something else entirely.
There’s a quiet shift happening in the barn this month. Some horses are on edge. Some are dragging their hooves. A few seem fine one minute, then wide-eyed the next, especially when that cool breeze hits just right.
It might still feel like late summer in the afternoons, but September mornings don’t lie. Fall is here, and your horse knows it.
Crisp mornings, fuzzy coats, and crunchy leaves underfoot, yep, September is here. And while we might be enjoying the break from summer heat, fall brings its own set of challenges around the barn, especially when it comes to hoof care.
