🍂🐴 Cooler weather is here… which means BLANKET SEASON has officially arrived!

The mornings are crisp, the nights are getting colder, and horse owners everywhere are asking the annual question:

“Does my horse need a blanket tonight?” 😂

Before the temperatures really start to drop, it’s time for the fall blanket check!

🧺 Pull them out of storage
🧼 Make sure they’re clean and ready to go
🔎 Check for rips, broken straps & missing hardware
📏 Double-check the fit—bodies can change over the summer!
🏷️ Label blankets if you’re at a busy barn
🌧️ Make sure those waterproof turnouts are still actually… waterproof!

And, of course, prepare yourself for the horse who somehow destroys a perfectly good blanket in one night. 🤦‍♀️🐴

We want to hear from you! 👇

Are you:

A. Blankets are already organized, labeled & ready ✅
B. They’re still in a pile from last winter 😬
C. I’ll find them when it gets cold 😂
D. Team No Blanket!

🍁 What’s YOUR routine for getting your horse ready for blanket season?

🐴 Do you ever wonder who is really in charge at Pickering Equine?
We may have a veterinarian, staff, schedules, appointments, and carefully made plans…
…but around here, we all know there’s always someone else running the show. 😂
They supervise the work.
They inspect everything.
They demand snacks.
And they’re never afraid to voice their opinion.
So tell us… who do YOU think is really the boss at Pickering Equine? 👀🐾🐴

☀️ A little look back at summer… 🐴
Some of the best days are the ones spent together outside of work.
This summer, members of the Pickering Equine team traded in the everyday routine for the reins and enjoyed an afternoon carriage driving together.
Horses are at the heart of what we do every day, but it’s always special to slow down, enjoy their company in a different way, and spend time together as a team.
Good horses, good company, and a beautiful summer day — a memory worth looking back on. 🤎
Here’s to the moments that make summer special.

🍂 Until next year, Devon… 🍂
We had such a wonderful time at the Devon Fall Classic! 🐴
There’s something special about spending these early fall days at Devon—beautiful horses, great competition, familiar faces, and a community we’re always grateful to be a part of.
Thank you to our clients, friends, trainers, riders, and everyone who stopped by to say hello. We loved being there to support the horses and their teams throughout the show.
From all of us at Pickering Equine LLC, thank you for a wonderful Devon Fall Classic.
We’ll see you next year, Devon. 🤎

🍂 There’s something about Devon in the fall.
The familiar blue of the Dixon Oval and that unmistakable feeling that another beautiful fall show season has begun.
Pickering Equine is looking forward to the Devon Fall Classic and to spending the week alongside so many of the horses, riders, trainers, and friends who make this sport so special.
Dr. Hope Batchelor will be available throughout the show for sports medicine and veterinary support, with individualized approach we bring to every horse in our care.

🍂 Hello, September!🍂

🐴As the sun sets on the last days of summer, there’s a familiar change in the air.
Cooler mornings and the anticipation of a new season ahead.

Fall brings with it some of our favorite traditions—indoor horse shows, early mornings in the hunt field, carriage driving through the changing countryside, and countless hours spent doing what we love with our horses.

At Pickering Equine, we’re looking forward to all that this season holds and to being alongside our clients and their horses through every mile, every round, and every adventure.
Here’s to crisp mornings, good horses, and the season ahead.
