Location: Somewhere around here | Honestly, I LOVE spring and summer. I grew up in Southern California so heat was never an issue for me and I love seeing all the flowers blooming, everything getting green, and babies frolicking in pastures. BUT, in fall/winter time I also love the excitement of the NFR coming close, all the bugs are dead/dying, and I can ride in the middle of the day without getting a heat stroke lol.
Miss anything in fall/winter? |

| Where I live it is SUPER HOT and humid. Yesterday after riding I got dizzy and weak. Had to sit down a min a regroup. SO to answer your question I miss the Fall weather. It is my favorite!!! Its really nice in Louisiana during that time. I dont like winter but have come to appreciate it as well because of no bugs/mosquitos, no sweating, my hair doesnt inflate when I go outside... lol. I like seeing family and eating good food during the holidays of fall/winter as well. |

Location: Kentucky | There are zero things I like about fall/winter. Everything is dead and sad looking. It's cold outside. Horses are wooly and muddy. There's mud everywhere. It's just gross.
I like being warm, green trees, and slicked out horses. |

This is my favorite time of year....everything is so green and pretty. I love summer nights riding. I ride after work, so it's really nice not to have to bundle up like a snowman to ride. Ponies are pretty and slick. There's a million barrel races going on.... LOVE IT! |

| Down here, I really miss Fall/Winter because at that time our temps are usually in the 70's and the humidity usually is lower than 70%. Sometimes we'll get in the 80's and even had some says 90's, but those only last for a day or two. Of course, summer runs from April to November around here. 8-10 months of 90 - 100 degrees and 70% or more humidity gets old really fast.
I live in South Texas not too far from the coast.

I'm in the NW, HATE winter, fall is nice.
Winter brings rain rain and more rain which makes mud and you spend more time brushing your horse down to ride then you spend riding. Races are indoors a few have covered places to warm up, some dont. It freezes, you have to break ice in water troughs even pack water sometimes and/or drain horses after watering.
Fall is pretty, the leaves change the weather is cooler. Fall is the beginning of the end of a year, kind of refreshing to think of what the new year brings.
Both bring shorter days. Get bored early when it's dark by 4:30-5 and no barn or arena with lights. |

Location: In The Snow, AZ | I can't handle winter. Wooly mammoth horses. Either the ground is sloppy mud or its rock hard. I kicked a turd last winter and thought I broke a toe. I detest trudging thru snow with a wheelbarrow to bring the next batch of firewood to the house. Emptying hoses.... And then emptying them again to make sure it's useable the next time I need it. I hate extension cords being run all over to make sure horses, dogs, and chickens have thawed out water. It's depressing when the sun is down before 5pm. Runny noses, frozen fingers and toes. Starting trucks early to warm them up... And hopefully they start. Shoveling snow. Don't miss any of it.
Summer is porch sitting, beer drinking, horse riding, flip-flops and tank tops, forest cruises, late nights, water fights. Slick horses, barrel races, barbeques, wood cutting. Love summer. |
