Ok  , now I understand why I am so darn cold. I don't even own anything with down. My long undies are cotton. The only fleece I have are the PJ bottoms on my head. I do have a insulated coverall, but I won't wear it, because after the cold air, I have to pee as soon as I hit the door, and I takes to long to shruggle out of them. Thank goodness my horses are at my house. I can go out, get cold, come in the house to warm up, then go out again. |

diamond....you don't just listen in "the belly" area but include up to the loin area {by the hip bone where it sinks in if thin or water lacking}...both sides too as they can sound different.
It is great you listen to healthy gut sounds so if they go "unhealthy" you will hear it sooner due to comparisons in the past...
, your temps are to darn cold....
I use to bundle up to go to work, then strip off layers as I worked hard in the barn, then dress up to go to the poopy truck with wheelbarrows full...
Ride, probably not. Can't imagine the sting when you hop down after riding for any time....not enough layers can keep my toes warm. {got bad frostbite as kid and pay for it as a adult!}
mini-graphics-christmas-855175...about all good it is for is playing in it and looking pretty if it only stayed where you need not drive or walk!! Felt that way for most of my adult life...
I love having "retired"  -shovels and deep winter boots!!

Down isn't the only answer, but it is a good way to trap warm air next to your body. Fleece and wool but cotton, no. Cotton is NOT a good way at all especially if only one layer. Layers, layers, layers and stop the flow of air from up your body and out your neck. Gerald ALWAYS has to poo after he gets his clothes on too, guess its the same as us loading in a trailer, just how it is.
