One of the dirtiest jobs around the barn is the clean-up. Cleaning up the barn can be even more difficult and unpleasant when the weather becomes colder. When cleaning up your barn, it is important to feel comfortable and to have the right clothes to make the job go quicker and more smoothly. Here are some essential items to wear when cleaning up your barn:
- Always wear a pair of rubber muck boots. Rubber muck boots will keep your feet warm and dry even if you walk in mud or get your feet wet when using the hose to wash down the stall or your horse. One of my favorite pairs of muck boots for women is the Womens Classic High Bogs Boot and for men, the Bogs Classic High Boot. This high quality boot is made to keep water out and your feet warm no matter how cold the temperature is in the barn.
- To keep your hands warm, always wear a warm pair of gloves. If your hands are warm, you will feel like working longer in your barn. A great pair of warm gloves, such as the Split Deerskin Gloves w/Thinsulate, will keep your hands comfortable at cold temperatures while you work in the barn.
- For messier jobs, wear a full waterproof suit. A waterproof suit provides extra warmth and is designed to keep you dry all over. The Storm-Champ 2 Pc. Waterproof Suit is easy to put on and take off with its two piece design and has snap closures and a heavy-duty zipper. The 100% waterproof material will keep you dry and warm when cleaning the stall or washing your horse.
Barn clean-up is much easier when you feel comfortable and dry. Using rubber boots, warm gloves, and a waterproof suit are ideal for keeping you warm and dry when cleaning up your barn. For a variety of comfortable barn clean-up work wear, check out Shane’s Tack.
