11 degrees

[Barton Bounty]

Currently 11 degrees and a very chilly wind! 5 degrees overnight, BB was cold this morning so I think its heavier rug time now ?

 

[criso]

I put on a knitted sheet last night and asked for a lightweight turnout for today as it's windy and raining. Been naked or fly rugs for months.

 

[AShetlandBitMeOnce]

I'm thrilled, I have been far too hot far too long. I have been moaning that I am hot since about May I reckon - time to get cosy of an evening!

 

[Pinkvboots]

It's a bit of a shock to the system as its been so warm and lovely I'm not looking forward to rain wind and mud ?

 

[Barton Bounty]

BB has a 200 on now! And he will be toasty

 

[SpotsandBays]

My lot are nakey still. Will probably have to rug the warmblood if we get any proper rain soon

 

[Horseysheepy]

I've upped the boys hay a bit in the hope they will keep warm that way, really hope to hold out from rugging them just yet (she sayes!!!)

 

[Sprogladite01]

Mine are both still nakey. Though they are natives with far too much padding (depsite my best efforts!)

 

[Peglo]

We are at 7 degrees today with gales and heavy showers. Last night was the first time we had winter rugs on since spring

it’s been a cold day at work with the wind swirling around the shed.

Is bb clipped?

 

[Lexi 123]

My horse has no rug on she won’t have a rug until she clipped at the end of October .

 

[Barton Bounty]

Is bb clipped?

No, not yet, but with a 0g rug on this morning he was cold, my boy likes to be toasty ? hes spoiled rotten

 

[Barton Bounty]

Im in the west coast and get the wind off the sea, even in 18 degrees it can feel chilly , will clip bb in a couple of weeks, just bib probably

Yup mine was chilly in his 50g turnout this morning so I've added a neck for tomorrow and he is in tonight

 

[PapaverFollis]

7 degrees and windy and rainy here. Rainsheets for Little Dragon and MrT. 100g for The Beast. They're not getting more coddled than that until they aren't quite so fat. They've all got the equivalent of a subcutaneous 100g rug at least!

 

[Barton Bounty]

At least I dont feel bad for rugging the boy up now

 

[lynz88]

Bbbrrrrrr. I don't want to return to the UK now (been in Greece for the past 8 days)....!!!!

What a lovely place you have to ride.

What a lovely place you have to ride.

It is amazing ?

 

[Sanversera]

Mine are all unrugged and will remain so unless clipped.

 

[Flowerofthefen]

Neither of mine have any sort of coat and no shelter. Both are currently in 100g. It's bloomin freezing!

 

[Barton Bounty]

took him hay to the shelter and he didnt move till he probably finished it! Spoiled much ??

 

[Boughtabay]

Mine have been naked up until this evening, we’ve had some unforecast heavy rain tonight with cold wind and my TB was actually screaming at me that she was cold when I went down this evening.. popped a thin-ish rug with a neck on her & she stopped screaming ? meanwhile the PRExWelsh was happily grazing in the middle of the field so he stayed nakey!

 

[Zoeypxo]

All naked still bar 2 tbs , one is in a 300g with neck and still didnt feel massively warm today. He has no condition currently tho.
Heavy rain coming in 12 hours tomorrow so think some 0gs can go on!

I dont feel so bad now ?

 

[holeymoley]

We’re 9c at the mo and the wind’s died down thankfully. Bit chilly for me. I’m happy at a nice 16-20c. Horse is too hot though can’t wait for clippers to arrive!

 

[PoppyAnderson]

My 4 yr old cob is nudey and most likely staying that way, despite living out. She grows a coat like a yak and will be fine. My older lady had a nice toasty rug put on last night. She's 18, precious and I'm a bit soft on her!

 

[Lady Jane]

Your horses don't want to be toastie-just not cold. My native type is clipped out (inc legs) and has a 50g turnout on overnight and a 50g stable for about an hour before I ride to warm his back muscles. Every horse is different though. One of mine seemed happiest in what is in my opinion over rugged, another happiest unrugged unless it was raining. Both are very fine coated WB. All of them hold their weight though

 

[MagicMelon]

9 degrees here just now with a very chilly wind and wet. The summers been hot and ground was so solid and now suddenly we're chucked into this weather, bit of a shock to the system! I think people overthink rugging, every horse is different so just rug how you feel it right, not what next door is doing etc. Im on top of a windy hill, my veteran is always quite skinny these days so I rug him quite well despite his thickish coat as he really feels the cold. My other one is also in a medium weight as she has such a thin coat. Theyve been totally naked all summer so Im finding it annoying having to start the rug changing lark again for the next few months... ugh.

 

[Abacus]

My oldie is now in a 200g but otherwise they are still naked. I’m wearing a duvet, cashmere and a hat. Indoors. Just 5 months to go…
