Cold Weather This Week ❄️
Central Florida is experiencing record-breaking cold, with overnight freezes and early morning temperatures in the 40s. These are the coldest conditions we’ve seen in over 16 years, and colder than anything Cheyne Ranch has experienced during our 7 years of operation.
We do plan to hold class as scheduled, but last-minute cancellations are possible if safety becomes a concern.
🧥 Please Dress in Layers
No special gear needed — just layering what you already have at home:
A t-shirt with a sweatshirt or hoodie, plus a jacket or coat
Long pants (leggings under sweatpants are a great option)
Warm socks — even two pairs of socks can help a lot
Hats & gloves are very helpful, and if needed, Ms. Katie made several warm winter hats available for students to use.
❤️ Health Comes First
If cold weather triggers immunity concerns, asthma, or other health issues, there is no pressure to attend this week.
🐎 About Riding
Cold weather can make horses a little more spunky, so riding classes may focus on groundwork and animal care rather than mounted work. As always, safety comes first.
🐴🧤 Learning Through Responsibility
This is also a meaningful opportunity for students to learn that animals need care in all kinds of weather. Our Cheyne Ranch staff and volunteers will be here, dressed in layers and ready, modeling preparation, responsibility, and thoughtful care. 🐴🧤
^^ Cheyne Ranch workers and volunteers take note :)
In the meantime… help me figure out how bottle up this cold weather for our June and July days together! ❄️😉
