Photo Challenge: Social Distancing
Our readers are taking social distancing seriously — as long as it means they don’t have to distance themselves from their horses.
COVID-19 might have more people staying at home than usual, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get in a trail ride or online horse show or just some quality time with your horses and other four-legged friends. We wanted to see how Horse Nation readers practiced social distancing. The answer? Trail riding. Lots and lots of trail riding. Below we have 10 readers showing us how they do social distancing!

Keep an eye out for next week’s 24-hour photo challenge! We announce challenge subjects on Monday around the end of the day on both Instagram and Facebook.
Go riding!
