I live in Eastern Washington state. Winters are snowy any chilly here so outdoor riding is hit and miss for a while.

    I'm in Colorado, just a little south of Denver. The barn is a 5 minute drive from home which is amazing

    That's awesome! I drive almost an hour each way...and there are no mountains, just corn fields.

    It is for sure helpful. I wish I could get out there more but it is nice to have it close

    Yep! I lived in Seattle before Pullman (Boise and near Salt Lake before that) and then we moved to Chicago for my husband to go to grad school. Now we live in central IL which is completely flat with corn fields as far as the eye can see. I've been trying desperately to get back to WA for years, but my husband has a good job with an even better retirement system so we're making the best of it here. We've talked about Spokane a lot, but haven't been there for years.

    I grew up in Ohio so am very familiar with the flat cornfield landscape. There was a strong community of English riding there as I remember.

    Those aren't real numbers. It's 52 degrees here and rainy. We call it "snowed in." :lol:

    Wow! We have a cold front coming in sometime Wednesday night. On Thursday the high is supposed to be in the upper 40s and the low *may* get down to freezing. And that's as cold as it will get all winter. Seriously. I don't even own a blanket for my horse.

    Stay warm!!

    @Mouse_Potato we usually get these cold snaps but not until end of January... in this weather my horses are double up with 300-400g fill each blanket if they even go out.

    @showjumper My horse didn't get to go out today. Because cold. And wet. Uh... It was really cold and wet today...

    I'm guessing your horses are a whole lot tougher than mine! ROFL!!!

    We got snow yesterday, but now it's all melted and everything is flooded. Unfortunately, it's going to be in the teens later this week so everything will be a fun skating rink. Ugh! This is why this will be my 5th winter going south :smiley:
