In response to Karen's question about keeping your ears warm
while wearing a helmet.

You can buy earmuffs especially to wear under a helmet.

They hook onto the harness of the helmet. I have a Lexington
and they work well with that. Keeps my ears really warm.

When I ride in the cold here in Wisconsin I don"t ride for
a long time or get my horse sweaty. Just walk with alittle
trot or canter in the middle of the ride so that the horse
is dry when we get home.


MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL FROM THE FROZEN NORTH
OF WISCONSIN.

especially after our last ice storm.
