Monday Morning Zen

One of my favorite things lately is watching the horses graze as the sun sets. The varying light playing on their coats, the pasture, and the now-blooming goldenrod in the adjacent lot is just so gorgeous. Autumn weather has arrived in Canaan and it is so very welcome.

    ugh I LOVE watching horses graze in the sunset. But it's never even occurred to me to sit there with my camera and catch the light playing on their beautiful shiny coats at my own house haha. So peaceful <3 I love your rainbow of colors!

    My favorite time to watch them, too. Plus it's that perfect time when their coats are so lush as the winter dark ones start to grow in

    I love autumn. My only complaint is that it is followed by winter.

    That last shaking photo of Q is gold. And that's one of the things I miss most about my horses... just watching the evening light play across their coats as they grazed...

    Definitely agree that watching horses graze in golden light is one of the best things about autumn.

    How do you keep them all so fit? You're only one person. My favorite pic was the one through Q's white legs. Looking up "goldenrod" now....

      A great question! Fortunately for me, I have a lot of friends who are intrested in riding and I am more than happy to share my horses. I worked pretty hard to get them all to a point where I trust them with a variety of people and having those other people around makes it possible. It's also nice to give back by letting others ride my horses because that's how I originally got into horses and wouldn't be where I am today without that!

    Love your blog! Your pictures are great! I'm so jealous of your pastures, I live in CA and while my horses have two good sized pastures everything is brown and dry, no green grass to be found anywhere. They will have to wait for some regular rain before their turn outs get a little green. :) Hope your fall is lovely!
