Photo Challenge: 5 Horses Riding After-Hours

Or early hours, before the sun is up — savvy riders know that beating the heat this time of year means beating the sun at its own game!

For this week’s photo challenge, we wanted to see photos of our readers outsmarting the summer heat by riding or doing barn chores after dark (or before that sun even comes up!) As usual, you all delivered! Here are five riders who’ve found the key to happy summer riding comes after-hours.

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

Go riding!
