we do pretty well with cold and snow here (stjarni will plow through up to about 3' of snowfall) but i HATE ice. fortunately today it was just on the ponds, not on the trails!
A good ride like this one is a gift. I feel exactly as you do, appreciating the sights, sounds, smells, sensations and especially the communion between self and a good mount. I totally believe that they enjoy getting out as much as I do. The way they look around as if to capture the experience. I am grinning now as I write this.
indeed! in fact one of the things my instructor kept saying was how much more willing ljufur is than she thought -- she'd never seen him out on the trails, or with a rider besides my rather lazy and easygoing spouse, who owns him. i know stjarni enjoys both ring work (esp. jumping!) and the forest, but ljufur was definitely really getting a lot out of the work, and seeing him and his rider enjoying that and appreciating one another was amazing :)

It's, sadly, getting to cold / icy / snowy here to squeeze in many more rides like that here.
