Hi, I agree waterproofs can be quite slippy. I ride in jeans (I know not right at a riding school), but in winter I put leggings underneath, or a pair of wooley tights. So if she rides in jodhpurs she could wear leggings or tights underneath. Does she have chaps or long riding boots they help keep your legs warm.
The last couple of weeks I've been riding in a tshirt at 7am but this week the mornings have become chilly. The last two mornings I put my hiviz winter coat on over the top of my tshirt and body protector. But I came back absolutely sweating. In reality I just needed a jumper on and my body protector.
I find I get quite hot in a lesson as it can be quite intense work. I usually end up peeling layers off as I'm over dressed. It's more out on a hack when you get colder as you are not perhaps changing pace as much. But if I do get cold, i usually trot to get circulation and warmth back in me.
Hi guys, I was walking my little sister home from her Gymnastics lesson earlier (because I am a caring big sibling) and due to the fact it was raining, I asked her to zip her jacket up because she was getting soaked but she refused to cooperate so, in the end I zipped it up myself and held her hand the whole way home so she could not unzip it.
Any ideas on how to get her to obey me the next time or should I just keep on doing it myself?
especially when trotting or cantering.
My suggestion is have spare jumper and coat in car. Better to be prepared. If she says shes getting cold you can always nip to the car and get out an extra layer. Most riding instructors will be quite happy if you had to whip in with an extra layer. As long as shes out of the way whilst others carry on the lesson, you can hand her a jacket and you hold the horse whilst she pops it on.
