Where We’ll Be: Fall 2018

And just like that, summer is gone. Are we a little sad? Yes, but only a little because fall is our time to shine! Equitation finals, year-end horse shows and awards, changing leaves (we’re in New England) and chilly mornings are some of the best things in our opinion. Some of our favorite events also happen in the fall. Here’s where we’ll be!
