1. Weather should have no impact on whether or not you can ride a real horse. Today most stables offer indoor riding in inclement weather. Heavens, we're having an ice storm here in the DC area and I just went for a very pleasant, warm indoor ride this evening.
2. Disability should not prevent you from riding either. Just the opposite. Even if you are paraplegic, there are wonderful therapeutic riding programs for people with all sorts of physical problems. Riding is the best therapy in the world for folks with physical disabilities. Even if you think you can't, modern riding therapy programs will benefit you in amazing ways. If you can sit on a fake horse, you can sit on a real one with far better effects on your health. Riding therapy is used for seriously wounded soldiers, so it's got to be okay for you, too!
