Dressing for the Winter
Layers, layers, layers!
You will need layers, especially when the morning and afternoon temps can vary by 20 or more degrees. Bring a jacket to put over a hooded sweatshirt to help get you through the day. Two pair of pants can help as can warm, waterproof boots and a hat. Be sure to bring warm gloves, two pairs just in case one gets wet.
You should wear a pair of shoes with a low heel to keep your feet from sliding through the stirrups. If you are taking lessons you should wear a snug fitting shirt or a shirt you can tuck in so the instructor can clearly see your posture. A vest can sometimes work better for riding warmth than a coat or jacket.
It probalby isn't a bad idea to wear sunscreen if you are at the farm at the middle of the day.
