The best of fall hunting

Is there a better way to experience fall foliage than from the back of a horse?

Yesterday we enjoyed breathtaking fall foliage and an excellent day of hunting. There was a light drizzle when we started but it did nothing to diminish the color, it just added some atmosphere.

Freedom is still sidelined so Zelda stepped up and gave me a great day. While last week she was quite naughty, this time she was forward without any of the fireworks. She was a real joy to ride.

Before the hunt
I got to the hunt early enough to take Zelda for a short hack before we started. She does better with a couple of miles under her belt.
Looking out over the pond
I particularly love the trees which show multiple colors, even in the fog.
Beautiful foliage
The foliage was so beautiful that I almost forgot to make Zelda work.
The Disney effect
These colors were so vibrant they barely look real.
Hacking to the start
A great way to start the hunt!
At the check
At the check.

    1. We are having an unusually vibrant fall this year. New England has to give you that gift before it starts to snow!
