    You are wearing a heavy jacket, so I am thinking that it is quite cold in there. I agree with someone below that says that your horse looks cold. When it is the winter time, or is very cold, you should keep your horse’s blanket on, only folding back the areas where you are grooming. There is no need to make your horse cold, before and even after a ride!! Just an observation, you shouldn’t take anything personally.
