Well I feel like a wimp lol. It was close to 40 yesterday evening when I was working my colt and I thought I was going to freeze to death. Granted, I had on a pair of running leggings and one jacket. Probably not the best attire for cold weather. Haha but you guys are real troopers. If it's less than 30, I'm not getting a horse.

I'm also in ND. I'm pretty hardy so it takes it to be -15ish actual temp or colder for me to want to hibernate. The barn I'm at has an indoor so I am lucky there. It's not heated or insulated but once you close up all the doors its not too bad. I don't ride hard if it's below zero but I try to keep up with 4-5 days a week of riding/lunging because like the other girls said.. If I waited till spring to start to ride I would spend my entire summer getting my horse in shape again just for winter to come again and start all over again. Pays off in the end to keep up on the workouts and brave the cold. I wear long johns under sweatpants and a sweat shirt and wool socks under my muck boots. It only takes me about an hour to thaw out once I get home ;)
