Spring is coming!

As equestrians know, the surest sign that spring is on the way is when the horses begin to shed. Fortunately for all of us who have been struggling through a long winter, here are 6 reader-submitted reminders that winter is on its way out!

Proof positive that spring is in the air. I groomed Jax for over an hour, prior to my ride, with no end insight. If only I shed my winter pounds so easily. #remembertobegrateful #sneezingfit #smartpak #horsenation #shedingseason #springiscoming #fitgirlmascot
