24-Hour Photo Challenge: 12 Chilly Riders

The weather outside is frightful… but that doesn’t stop these brave riders from saddling up anyway!

For this week’s 24-hour photo challenge, we wanted to see you in your winter finery, a.k.a. bundled up to your eyeballs so you don’t miss out on any quality horse time regardless of the weather. As usual, our readers delivered: here are 12 equestrians who refuse to yield to winter’s elements.

Jennifer Ann Losey: Oreo and I a few days ago

Meredith Lynne Conrad: “My mare Breeze and I after a ride in -20 degree weather. Yay Alberta winters haha!”

Amanda Watkins

Haley Ruffner: “Tons of layers and bareback for extra warmth”

Sarah Garber: “We both have on as many layers as reasonably possible for a bareback ride…”

Haley MacDonald Johnson: “Some days are better than others”

Jess Louise Kynett: “Livingston, Montana.”

Rachel Bisaillon: “The first day it rained here, Ace says no thank you!!! Damn California OTTBs”

Natalie Leighton: “Winter in California!”

Kayla Phillips: “Winter in Canada!”

Keep an eye out for next week’s 24-hour photo challenge! We announce challenge subjects on Tuesday around the middle of the day on both Instagram and Facebook.

Go riding!
