It’s spooky season! And some of our horses take that… very literally. Cooler weather and crunchy leaves means it’s time to grab your neck strap, folks.

Sorry to whoever at @smartpak had to engrave this 💀 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Enzo takes his hard keeper status very seriously and does his best to fling his hay net (and when it offends him, his grain bucket) as far as possible away from his paddock. Then he stares mournfully at it like he’s starving until someone with thumbs comes to his rescue 🤦🏼‍♀️ And of course, he doesn’t like when his hay is *dirty* from touching the ground, plus needs hay in front of him 24/7, so has to have the hay net (which, I’ll add, is a heavy duty SmartPak one that he somehow manages to undo the clip it’s hanging from). This is now securely chaining it to the fence 😂

Horse girl level up complete. 👋🏼 With great land comes great responsibility…and toys. 🙃 Currently we are working hard to establish good pasture through mowing and seeding…thankfully our soil tests came back great! 🥳 We’re also starting work on the driveway to the barn so it’s smoother. Fence material should be here in a few weeks and then the REAL work begins! 🤪 . #HeelsDownHeartLifted 💚🧡 . 📸 @isaaclauphoto . . . . . . . #redheadscarlett #chestnutmare #chestnut #mare #ottb #horsesofinstagram #ottbsofinstagram #thoroughbred #thoroughbredsofinstagram #equestrian #equestrianlife #equine #dressage #eventingnation #eventerproblems #horsebackriding #instahorse #jumping #horse #horses #equestrianphotography #equestriansofinstagram #equestrianstyle #eventing #northcarolina #hillsboroughnc

It feels like FALL 🍁here in NC and while talking about weather may seem boring, this is literally my favorite time of year. The late late summer time where everything is still green but you feel that cool humidity-free chill in the air. Give me all the cozy sweaters and caramel apples (yes dentists love sweets too!). 😅 While the thought of shorter days and freezing temps makes me shudder, I’m gonna enjoy every last bit of this incredible time of year. Here’s to hoping for a mild winter and lots of good conditioning for me and my mare both! Lots of changes are coming between opening the practice and building our sweet little barn but we’re excited to take all of it in stride. 🥰 . #HeelsDownHeartLifted 💚🧡 . 📸 @isaaclauphoto . . . . . . . #redheadscarlett #chestnutmare #chestnut #mare #ottb #horsesofinstagram #ottbsofinstagram #thoroughbred #thoroughbredsofinstagram #equestrian #equestrianlife #equine #dressage #eventingnation #eventerproblems #horsebackriding #instahorse #jumping #horse #horses #equestrianphotography #equestriansofinstagram #equestrianstyle #eventing #northcarolina #hillsboroughnc
