Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses

I would venture to guess that if you were asked to name 10 activities you have done at 20 below zero Fahrenheit, horseback riding probably wouldn't be on the list. This often overlooked sub-zero activity is actually quite enjoyable if you wear the proper attire. After our Christmas dinner at my older brother's house near Fox, Alaska, we ventured out into the dark (around 4:oo pm in Fairbanks) and all got to enjoy feeding and riding the horses until we could no longer feel our toes and fingers. Afterward we enjoyed warming up beside the fireplace and snacking on Christmas goodies, including cotton candy.
