Many horse lovers enjoy trail riding in the fall. The scenery is gorgeous! It does come with some obstacles though. For one, hunting season begins in the fall for many areas. You don't want your horse to be mistaken for a deer or another animal. It's important you wear reflective tack and apparel, in order to become more visible and state your presence.
