Just for Horse Folks: Winter Footwear

Editor’s note: We are running our popular series on winter clothing (and potentially gifts) for the horse person in your life–or perhaps for you to buy for yourself! In this article we look at coats and pants designed with the equestrian in mind.

Ovation Country Boot Cameron

Nine out of 10 people agree that wearing comfy boots is the best part of winter. Okay, we made up that statistic, but really, comfy boots are the best part of winter, aren’t they? Warm boots—and warm, waterproof boots—are a boon to everyone taking care of horses in a cold climate. More winter-boot options for riding and for general barn wear means you and your clients have fewer excuses to not go outside.
