But here’s what I’ve learned over the years — winter doesn’t have to mean waiting.
One year, after our last trail ride of the season, I set up my portable corral right behind the barn. It wasn’t for travel, or camping, or anything exciting — just a little space for groundwork, grazing, and quiet time together.
At first, it felt strange… but soon it became my favorite part of the day. No rush. No hauling. Just me, my horse, and a few peaceful minutes of connection.
That’s when I realized — these corrals aren’t just for trips or events. They’re for those small, everyday moments that make horse ownership mean something.
If you’ve packed away your trailer for the year, maybe it’s the perfect time to set up a little space at home. A space for bonding. For movement. For connection.
Because every season is horse season — if you make it one. 🐴
