November isn't the greatest of months weather-wise as it can be a bit unpredictable. However when the forecast calls for "cloudy" and instead we get a brilliant sunny day it pays to saddle up and head out on the trails! The fresh autumn air wakes up those dozy brain cells and the colours of the turning leaves provides a new panorama to enjoy. We set out with a couple of our younger, more spirited horses and when things got a little nippy, we kicked up the speed to an easy trot or canter to get the blood circulating again. Their were smiles on our faces and the horses had a little extra bounce in their step. The Metal Hills around Montieri are a great place for an autumn trail ride!
