What Do You Do All Winter?

Diamond_Jubilee · Well Schooled

I give our ponies a well deserved rest after a busy show season. We just had a cutter restored so I will be taking a pony driving on a nice snowy day! I go for hacks on nice warmer days as well and usually take a friend or two...

I'm one of those mean people that keeps going all winter. Maggie lives inside, we have a heated indoor... Sometimes she gets about a week off over Christmas. But, of course, we vary her work and work load to keep her from getting bored or sour. Time to train for next show season!

I keep going over the winter also, my minis get a bit of a break after a long show season, but I start working them again in about March. I continue to ride over the winter, mostly outside/trails, I absolutely love riding in the winter/snow, probably my favourite thing to do while riding. I do board my riding horse at a nearby barn with an arena for a month or two so I can use the indoor arena and keep up with my schooling over the winter.

At home we ride when the footing is good. But we ride year long at a barn to get ready for the show season.

I lease and take lessons at a barn with indoor arenas, so we keep on riding all year :)

I pack up my saddles and bust out the suede bareback pads..... Sorrel boots don't fit in stirrups!! I trail ride by the light of the moon or by a LED lamp strapped to my helmet almost every evening after work. We have groomed trails for our farms sleigh rides, so we have year round access to some awesome forest trails. My guys are on 24/7 turnout, so they are used to playing around in the cold...
