Fall is definitely here.  The cool air is a welcome change from the scorching heat of summer.  Mid day temperatures are quite pleasant and are ideal for saddling up.  My riding schedule though, has been and still remains, late afternoon to early evenings.   It has become somewhat of a race to perform barn chores, give a lesson, eat and ride after a full day working elsewhere.  Darkness falls quickly as the sun sinks down over the distant mountains.  I typically still have time to ride at least one horse while retaining quality in my approach.
