15 Reader-Submitted Winter Riding Getups
Cue the quarter-sheets, Carhartts and the ever-present “base layer.” Cozy up, Horse Nation, and take look at your fellow freezing equestrians.
For this week’s 24-hour photo challenge, we wanted to see your winter wear for the barn–and as usual, you guys really delivered.
Adeline Hyatt: Snuggles to warm up those freezing noses!
Stephanie Souther Johnson: This was a year ago I had a shirt, sweatshirt, coat, scarf and fleece bandana, and bronchitis but I got to see my pony for a few minutes.
Natalie Brandt: Gearing up to ride last week in Ithaca, NY!
Brandy Womack Robertson: Me with my Sugar Lubbock,Tx
Fearless Leader Leslie Wylie: In the winter I can’t live without my Carhartts!
Rebecca Waldron: Two shirts, a sweatshirt, carhartt, scarf, two pairs of gloves, fleece lined breeches, wool socks, foot warmers, insulated boots, and a quarter sheet to keep my horse’s back warm(and my thighs). I think it was about 10°F(plus snow pelting us in the face)and not the coldest I’ve ridden in. Gotta love Colorado winters.
Stefany Cleaver: Gathering cows in AZ with Biscuit
Lindsey Hellmuth: Trail riding in Virginia in January 2015! Not the coldest winter I’ve been in but doll cold!!!
