Hello, December!
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
My slightly late PSA for the freezing weather!
The dark has set in earlier, meaning it is a lot colder for evening lessons 🥶 my reminder is to dress in layers!
2 pairs of pants
3 shirts (long sleeve, sweatshirt, jacket)
Fluffy socks
Hot hands (hand warmers) (I have a rechargeable hand warmer set that is amazing. Somebody gifted them to me from Amazon, I believe)
Hot hands brand also makes toe warmers. I recommend those as well.
Gloves! I am completely okay with winter gloves/snow gloves.
I would rather you be warm than completely functional. I know it is frustrating for some kids to have them on because they're bulky. Usually, we can work around bulky gloves, but cold fingers are miserable.
Ear warmers or hats
Hats are completely fine for the grooming and catching process as well as after the lesson. Hats do not fit well or safely under helmets, I do not recommend them for that use. Ear warmers, that just wrap around their head, can be the difference between getting cold and not.
Highly recommend
Not all of these things are necessary. These are just my recommendations!
You know your child, I might be teaching in whether that is unsuitable to them specifically other kids might be okay with that temperature.
Winter lessons are taught until real feel temps hit below 20°.
Stay warm! And let's keep having fun this winter 🐎
Buzz nice and toasty in his winter blanket ♨️
