It can be difficult to know how to dress in the winter, especially for those that ride or do barn chores.
If your clothes are too bulky, you’ll struggle in the saddle. On the other hand, if you don’t have enough layers you’ll be freezing and miserable. The key is finding the right clothes for the job!
