So pleased I did it today - daughter schooled him tonight and it was like he had an extra gear. I guess it's like exercising in a fleece compared to a tshirt. Did feel a bit sad turning him out tonight in his rain sheet as know that it is now rugs on overnight at least for next 6 months. I love seeing them naked and both he and my big lad love scratching necks with each other which they obviously can't do so well now!
