hen the leaves change and the temperatures start to drop, many equestrians and outdoor enthusiasts find themselves spending even more time outside enjoying everything that nature has to offer. For equestrians and those of us who hike with our dogs, this means that we have additional considerations to make when heading out into the woods or onto the hiking trails.
