Winter Weather

23rd Novmber 2024

Well this weekend should be the 3rd Winter Dressage Competition. Unfortunately the weather has other ideas and has decided that it will start the week with some pretty cold sub zero weather and today I have woken to a few inches of snow.

On the plus side this means being horseless I can stay inside and be nice and warm. No more layers and layers of winter clothes to go to the stables and muck ut and then strip off as I get warm. Leaving all said layers behind for when I next leave the use and forgetting where I have left them.

As a sufferer of raynauds disease I am pleased not to have to be out in the cold longer than is needed. For those that suffer you have my full empathy, for those that don’t the condition affects your blood vessels usually in hands and feet and can make your fingers go white in the cold. It can be very painful when they start to warm up. Unfortunately it is not a case of putting more layers on this does not cure the problem.

I will use these times to still do horse related activities but will read articles and books to further my knowledge and education.

I may even decide to try and get fitter!
