Do you ride in the rain???

The weather changes so quickly. I once started a ride on a cold but bright day and returned home in a blizzard. The bits of my glasses that weren't covered in snow were filled with mist, I couldn't see a thing but fortunately the horse is good at going home!
 
The happy hackers are lucky insofaras they do not have to exercise - rather than just "go for a ride". Some horses have to be kept fit and hence, are ridden in whatever the weather chooses to do on a particular day. Horses are, actually, quite waterproof - and a quarter sheet keeps their loins dry and warm!!
 
I tend to ride whatever the weather as I have several horses to keep competition fit. I go out in my hat, long waterproof coat and a wrap round exercise sheet. I don't mind the rain however I do really hate a strong wind!

Only problem that i have with riding in the rain is that my glasses are not fitted with windscreen wipers... Yet!

I will ride in the rain, I try avoid it where possible and if its really awful rain then no I wont because its just miserable for me and her.
Wind and rain tend to make her spooky so I avoid that combination generally
 
I schooled today in the pouring rain, I did feel very good and totally soaked after!!!
She was a good baby though!
