One of my favorite things about working in the Riding School is the yearly traditions. Each year the Riding School celebrates Halloween by holding a game day on horseback followed by dressing the horses up and parading them around the arena. There are prizes awarded to the best dressed horse, apple-bobbing for horses (which is entertaining to watch but probably pretty cruel to the horse) and more candy than one child could possibly eat.
This year, two of my longtime students dressed my very best lesson horse up as an angel. Considering what Paco puts up with the rest of the year, it is a very fitting costume. Who says horses can't go to Heaven? -Heather
