Can you ride a horse in the rain?
Yes, you can ride in light rain with appropriate gear, avoiding slippery surfaces and thunderstorms.
Detailed explanation
Riding in light rain is possible with waterproof clothing and caution. Several factors need to be considered: wet ground can become slippery and increase the risk of falling, especially on asphalt or grass tracks; visibility is reduced; and the horse may be more nervous. In the event of a thunderstorm, you should NEVER ride or be in an open field: the risk of lightning is real. After riding in the rain, the horse should be thoroughly dried before returning it to its stall.
