I have gotten my winter riding wardrobe down.

Tight base layer.

Wool socks and riding boots.

Regular work shirt and jeans

Heavy wool sweater or vest and coat.

Silk wild rag

Leather gloves with cotton roping gloves underneath

Felt lid or wool cap with ear flaps if it's real nasty.

Shotgun leggins

Copious amounts of strong black coffee.😜

Lucas Truax Leather leggins!👍👍👍

Katherine Cosper I like the cold, too.  Better than sweating!😆

Lucas Truax Wool sweaters and socks, YES.  I've never had any insulated riding boots, but I used to ride in my muck boots from time to time.  I'll just use on pair of wool socks and normal riding boots these days.  Same as in summer.  I've gotten horses to sweating pretty good in the winter, but it's been a while.   I've never had any ill effects come from it.  I will use a cooler on them afterwards.  

Stephen Gowling  I don't have any yet, but I'll bet the battery powered clothing is a game changer!  I've been saying that someone should invent that stuff for years!😂

Amy Busch I use neck ropes of different lengths.  If I'm doing ground work I'll use 1/2" x 12-20'.  If I'm riding, I'll use on that's about 12' and a smaller diameter.  

Katherine Cosper how's it going with the colts?

Lucas Truax I think a good way to do it is to work on getting consistant forward motion at the beginning of the ride and then work on your turn at the end (if you're not already doing it that way).  This way, you can get her mind right and get some of the fresh off before you start the training.  You'll be working on a couple of different things at the same time.  Make sense?  How's Neches doing?  I get a lot of folks asking about him!😂

Lucas Truax If Fappani is using a hackamore I guarantee there's something to it.  That guy is a horseman!  I have a couple of 2 year-olds to start, maybe I should do an ES20 series with a hackamore.  What do y'all think?  It's been a while, but I think I can pull it off!😀

Stephen Gowling I think one of the drawbacks to the California tradition is that it attracts a lot of folks that aren't handy enough to handle all that steel in a horse's mouth.  It is very attractive but takes many years to master.  I fear that I'm not savvy enough so I steer clear of the heavier bits.  The guys that are proficient with a spade bit are next level good, but there aren't many of those guys around anymore, unfortunately.
