The leaves are starting to drop from the trees but riding through the woods, you still get a canopy of color that rivals stained glass windows. Freedom is the perfect color for the fall. His gleaming chestnut coat blends perfectly with the intensity of the foliage.

I took Freedom over to the Perfect Field this week. He’s not too keen about crossing the bridges to get there, but he’ll learn. It’s the perfect starting place for a longer ride so I’ve been scrutinizing the trail maps of the surrounding towns to figure out how far I can ride without having to trailer. I am inspired to go out for several hours and really start to own this trail system. Right now I’m riding about 7 miles on most of our hacks, but the horses aren’t at all ready to come home. They could go a lot further.
