| At Cross Timbers we ride year round. During the Fall and Winter months the weather can be unpredictable. And now that the cold weather is on the way. We want to remind parents and students to dress appropriately for colder weather. Please dress in layers. This way riders can shed layers as they get warm. Parents blankets and hot coffee are always a good idea. Students if you are not properly dressed, you will given written work inside instead of riding your horse. Many riders would be far more comfortable horseback riding in the wintertime if they were properly dressed. 1. Long underwear or polar fleece breeches. Sweat pants slipped over other pants can provide a lot of warmth in the event of unexpected cold. 2. A warm sweater or polar fleece jacket/vest. 3. Thinsulite riding gloves and winter, ski-type socks. 4. Boots of adequate size to accommodate sufficiently warm socks (possibly more than one pair of socks). 5. Since a warm head is also important, some students successfully wear a lightweight stocking cap under their helmet. Give it a try! Check out your local saddle shops for winter riding apparel or go on-line. It is not necessary to spend a lot of money to keep warm. You probably have most of the above items already. |
