Winter essentials!

[KittenInTheTree]

Keep a clean towel, a spare pair of socks, and two sturdy plastic bags at the yard for when your wellingtons spring a leak. It will happen, and you will be glad to have the means to dry your feet then and there instead of having to wait until you get home!

For me:

Thinmedical type gloves for yard jobs and keeping hands clean

Do you mean surgical gloves? Disposable ones? Or something else? thanks

I have a pair of waterproof overalls I purchased off Amazon! Amazing for those wet days!

They say mens but I think they are unisex

If you have more than one horse, have 2 wheelbarrows (if you can’t afford a huge wheelbarrow). I find it faster to muck out the 3 beds in one go, fill the wheelies and tip both when I’m done.
You don’t lose your mucking out mojo by having to do a muck heap trip mid way.

Mine aren't this brand, but same principle and I love them. I bought two pairs, one for chickens and one for horses and they're going into their third winter. Also a Raynaud's sufferer, so vital to have warm hands!

My other essentials are sheepskin insoles in wellies (Aigle Iso Parcours), a good travel mug, waterproof hat, overtrousers and a stash of double chocca mocha sachets at the yard. I also keep an emergency pot noodle to hand.

I discovered "gloves in a bottle" handcream last winter, it's great at stopping dirt from embedding into dry skin on your hands.
