Kristen: It's so much easier to take sheets,
rugs and rainsheets along than to wish you had them after you get to a ride. I
share the belief of my fellow riders that horses need extra protection when they
are confined to a small area because they are not nesessarily able to look after
themselves as well as if they are in their own pasture. Even here, where our
horses aclimatize to temperatures ranging from -40 to +90 (F) we cover them up
overnight when we take them to rides.
Regarding 1/2 sizes on rubber boots, I use a heavy knit
sock to fill in the extra space.
