So I've been waiting all week to ride my horses as I work full time and to look out the window, you would think that its a lovely sunny day. Then you hear the wind roaring round the house!! Wow, its really windy here! I'm not ashamed to say, I'm not riding in that! anyone else wimping out?:o
 
We can't afford to let wind affect our horses, with winds coming sraight off the moors we would never ride.
The recent winds were an exception and didn't risk riding, I'd hate a tree on my head, our horses behave when hacking in winds surprisingly, prior to moving here we were very much fair weather riders now we are out in all weathers and everyone concerned seem to enjoy it
 
Nope I went out, it was glorious, but the wind turbines were doing good work! I'd only avoid riding out if it was gale force and there was a risk of trees coming down or so icy it was dangerous. Then I'd go in the school. If you only ride in perfect weather you never ride!
 
Living in scotland, its pretty much always windy, especially being close to the coast. Easiest just to get on with it, its normally pretty nice when you get out, same with rain, aslong as it isnt sideways in your face, it doesnt seem that bad when your actually riding:)
