Any other cruel mums out there or is it just me?

[StellaArtois]

Anyone else keeping their horse out in this horrid rain or is it just me. Always feel just a little bit guilty driving away when its like this, especially when other start bringing theirs in and I start to doubt keeping her out.

Anyone else as horrid as me!!

 

[samstar]

No both of mine are out, although one does have a stable to walk in and out of and one is in his MW rug

 

[E_Lister]

Yeah, most are out in the rain down here

they are tough animals if we let them be!

 

[PaintboxEDT]

mine are out,been raining on and off all day but the sun has come out now,still windy though

 

[StellaArtois]

Thank GOD people who agree with me I dont feel as bad. She does have her rug on and a field shelter with hay in it. So bascially a penthouse, with room service already there in her field, whatever am I worrying about.
Cheers

 

[Ottinmeg]

Sun is out down here but mine are in tonight as storms predicted and they have 100ft TV masts in their field! normally out in all weathers and no rugs.

 

[MrsMozart]

Out, out, outety, out

They were out last night as well.... All rugged up, toasty and dry (half of them are clipped, and the other half are wimps lol).

My Welsh Cob and 2 year old warmblood are both out in it- youngster is naked and horse has flyrug on. Both are warm as toast and only soggy. 85% of the horses in our field are rugged tho

It's the middle of May, it seems madness!

 

[merlinsquest]

Merlin is out with no rug and no proper field shelter

Just 10acres of hedges and trees... Am I a bad mum then??

He did have an inch thick layer of mud on him this morning.... just to piss me off

 

[golddustsara]

Pad is out no rug but plenty of hedge to shelter under

As long as the horse is rugged and has plenty to eat then they'll be fine.

 

[kellyeaton]

i fell i totally bad mummy had rug on but no shelter at all!

 

[Coffee_Bean]

Ah they'll be fine

Mine was out all day but is now tucked up warm and dry in her stable

She was out all winter though before we moved yards, and she survived just fine

 

[4leggedfurries]

Oh dear, i'm being a wuss, all of mine are in!!

plus the dibble stick is rugged to keep him warm as he's just had physio... oh well, but if i left them out i'd have 3 grumpy gits in the morning, rather lose my lie in than deal with that.

 

[spotty_pony]

All three of mine are out, but it hasn't rained here all afternoon!

Two of them are in LW Turnout rugs, and our oldie is in his MW.

 

[Moggy in Manolos]

I have no stable so my mare is out, she has a lightweight back on with this rain as she is a wimp as she has got older

 

[loulabelle]

All 3 of mine are out, were last night too, the mare has a LW rug on as she is a bit of a wuss but the other 2 are nakey!!!
Plenty of hay to munch on and just left them with full bellies.
Its the first nights they have been left out this summer but the muck tailor is heaving and cant empty it till tomorrow

 

[Laafet]

Mine is out unrugged, he not made of sugar so I am sure he will survive and FWIW the vet said he is fat and recommended not to rug him and to give him more exercise, not starve him.

 

[LankyDoodle]

I have two horses out in this horrid rain. One has a sweetitch rug; the other has no rug. I don't think that is anywhere near cruel and I am not going to rug them for a bit of rain. I would rather they were wet than hot. Both of them are happy as larry out playing in their big field. A bit of rain will not hurt them.

 

[MrsElle]

Both mine are out and would be unrugged but Ellie was stood shivering last night so I chucked one on her. Chad is naked though and doesn't seem overly bothered.

 

[sallyellis]

All 3 of mine live out 24/7 but have field shelters and 2 are wearing lightweight rugs and to be honest they would prefer to be out than in...if I did bring them in they just stand at the door waiting to go out.

 

[clairefeekerry1]

both mine are out with no rugs on. there is plenty of natural shelter if they fancy... but guess what they are grazing fully exposed in the torrential rain and they look like they dont even know its pouring!!!

 

[LadyRascasse]

we if mine hadn't decided to do something to his leg he would be out still, but as it is they are both in

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

OUT OUT OUT!!!!

Everything here is out - some with rugs on some naked!!

Mine have their rainsheets on in the hope that I may get to ride in at some point tomorrow!!

My big grey boy also thinks he is a hippo......

 

[JoBo]

Mine are out 24/7, no field shelter but lots of natural shelter. The Fjord is naked and the cob has a LW on, mainly to keep the white bits white. They would much rather be out then in.

 

[H's mum]

My two were eager and fighting to get out into the field - rain or no rain - and it was absolutely torrential!

They were happy as anything - both like drowned rats when they came in but they did what they chose to do

[BankEndRescue]

Well someone had better call the RSPCA, mine are all out and NAKED

and you know what...they couldn't care less

 

[soloabe]

They are horses not chocolate teapots.
In the wild do you think someone comes out to put rugs on them?

 

[Halfstep]

Osk is out, but he is in a medium weight rug. He was quite happy going back out after being worked today, even though it was chucking down. I did feel awful last night though when it was positively torrential and thundering too

 

[Ellies_mum2]

Ellie is out with LW on and Bella is out naked with natural shelter in hedges and few trees

Do I feel mean? Not a bit of it
