Hi, I am considering leaving my mare and her companion out at night. It is very warm where we are and I think that maybe they are better to be in their boxes in the middle of the day to escape the heat, and to enjoy the paddock for the rest of the time. Problem is that although the yard assures me that they will be brought in if there is heavy rain I don't really believe it - I simply cannot see one of the grooms getting up at 4am to rescue them from a storm. I need to arrange a field shelter, but since it is not on my own land I would like to find something fairly cost effective. Does anyone have any good ideas / anything that has worked for you? ANy top tips appreciated! Thank you in advance.
