Re: Cow Country
My kind of weather, RR. BTW, cool hat you have on...I like it. Late last winter I found a similar one and decided to buy it. Last had one when I was a young person, and they are especially great protection in cold, windy weather conditions. Your neck of the woods sure qualifies for those blustery, wintry days!
I partly enjoy this hat style because of the Russian background connected with these fur hats. This ethnic style is the "shapka-ushanka" (шляпа солдата), which simply means "trooper's hat." Mine of course is faux fur, and I'm sure the Russians most often have the real thing. Anyway, I think that's great headwear on a "nice crisp day for a ride."

Re: Cow Country
Thanks PT7. Mine is sheepskin, and very warm. Great day today as long as you dress for it. I just pulled all the horse's shoes this week so their feet need to toughen up a bit, just have to watch nobody gets sore. But so far so good, Badger was sound when we got home. Gotta watch the rocks though. I used to keep them sharp shod for winter but it's actually better for their feet if they can go without shoes for a while.

Re: Cow Country
I got this one a couple of years ago, sheepskin, very warm and well made. The chin strap is new, it doesn't really need it and looks like it's use is optional. Wish I had it back when I spent more time outdoors, I had a decent hat with ear flaps but not nearly as warm as this one.

Re: Cow Country
Christmas Day in cow country requires a little saddle time. Badger and I take a little break and wait for the noon train...he looks excited, maybe the mail pouch has something in it for him....
18F and no snow...gorgeous day.

Is that like looking a gift horse in the nose?

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

Re: Cow Country
RR, you've made Badger's ears famous through the Cow Country journeys. This paired photo looks great, especially with the smile peaking through the handlebar!
Yup, looks like a gorgeous day there. We had almost the same here in KCMO....sunny with a blue sky, but the big difference was that the temps reached almost 53* on our Christmas Day!
Did anything special show up in the train's mail pouch?!?

Re: Cow Country
Nothing on the train but Santa did bring them a big bag of apple crunch snacks. They all had a couple in their mineral supplements tonight for Christmas supper.
