Autumn can be a spooky time of year. GVRDC has decided to do a No Fear Fall Challenge. This challenge incorporates logging 25 activities with your horse. Record your activities on the log sheet (downloadable) and submit them by November 10 to mickeythebelgian@aol.com.

To take the fear out of fall we are also asking that you and your horse choose 5 activities from the No Fear activity list below:

Do a fall photo shoot with your horse
Create a fun costume for your horse to wear and take a photo
Go on a fall trail ride with friends
Go apple picking with your horse (your horse can reach the high ones)
Go for an evening ride with friends
Desensitize your horse to something that is scary (plastic bags, tarps, etc.)
Work on riding with no stirrups
Line up 5 pumpkins 14 feet apart and ride/walk the pattern
Make a scary noise and have your horse stand still for it (treat for reward)
Stand with your horse in the dark (pasture or stall) for 20 minutes and observe their behavior
