I'm a convert to Roots!

Here in the UK we are experiencing the heaviest snowfalls for the past 20 years. Now I know that compared to the Canadian members of Barnmice, it really isn't all that much snow, but for us UK peeps it's snowy, & cold, & icy!

Luckily, one of my international Xmas presents was a pair of very long & very warm Roots socks - I'm assured that these are essential winter wear for Canadians. Well I'm converted!

So today I lunged my 3 horses by moonlight in the snow (sadly I don't have an outdoor arena). All very beautiful but bloody freezing! Luckily I was wearing breeches, roots socks to my knees & jeans over the top. I may have looked a little like the Michelin man but I was warm. Dressage queen style will have to wait until it gets a bit sunnier!
