Photo Challenge: 33 Equine Autumnscapes

Nothing’s prettier than a horse in fall foliage!

Okay, technically “autumnscapes” isn’t a word but we decided to make it one for today’s photo challenge: what else would you call a gorgeous landscape tinted with the gold and orange and red hues of the changing fall colors, complete with a beautiful steed? For this week’s photo challenge, that’s exactly what we asked for, and as usual our readers delivered. Indulge yourself with one of our most beautiful galleries yet, entirely reader-submitted!
