Does anyone else enjoy riding in this heat?

[Pigeon]

I'm loving it! Schooled for 45mins at midday and felt fine, horse was a bit sweaty but seemed energetic too.

They don't call me lizard girl for nothing

Me! Yes, it's a bit hot and bothersome, but as long as I've got plenty of sunscreen on I don't mind at all - far far prefer this to the rain, wind and cold we get most of the year!

Yep. I live in East Devon and it is GLORIOUS at the moment. The heather on the commons is just starting to flower, the views from the top of Bulverton Hill and Fire Beacon Hill are jaw dropping. The streams and river Otter offer opportunities to cool off. Sigh - Devon really is heaven!

No, sorry to say it but I hate the sun. I'm currently hiding in the shade awaiting the cold again.

Not having much fun cos hay fever off the scale, all I do is sniff and sneeze ! My son is worse as well, and all around us they are hay making!!! Oh fun. ... Not... Why can't we have something in between cold and blistering heat! Like mid teens. With a breeze and rain at night.

It doesn't bother me too much. I mean, I have been known to dismount and stick my head in a bucket of water, but I can live with that. It's lovely to go out in shorts and a t-shirt and jump on bareback in the sunshine.

Unless I'm hacking. Then its fine

I love love love this weather. Riding in this weather is pretty much what I live for... If I could only get rid of the flies.....

 

[WandaMare]

I love riding out early on days like this, so much easier to get up than on the cold, winter mornings. The lanes are quiet, not too many flies and you can feel the warmth slowly building up, love it!

I love it, but not the horseflies it brings with it. Getting up at stupid o clock to get 5 exercised before they rise!!

 

[NativePonyLover]

Another one that loves it

I don't want this weather to end, like ever!
