November presented some challenges with weather. It seemed we didn't ride in an arena the entire month.  Our barn managers are very good at preparing the rings for rain, but we still have to wait a few days for them to dry out and every time the rings were just about ready to ride in again it seemed like it rained again. So I took the conditioning information I learned at the Jimmy Wofford clinic and spent most of November walking the hills in the back of Harmony Grove and doing trot and canter sets at regular intervals as weather would allow.  We're really lucky that we ride at a property where we have hills and land to hack on!
