Both Pidge and Sunny out naked and it was still 15.5 degrees when I got to the yard and they were munching grass and then grooming each and plenty warm enough

though Pidge was a tad grubby

Mine have all been out naked all week and are loving it. Major downside is grooming them all when they come in. I don't really mind, they'll be bundled up in rugs before too long.

The majority of our yard have yet to have a rug on at all yet.

It's been so mild, they come in on an evening and begin to get a bit sticky. I can't remember the last time we had them out this long on summer grazing, it's a good few years

Yep, My boy is still naked! A week or so ago I my tough side had a battle with my softer side and the softie in me one, and he had one on for 1 night only but it came off and stayed off as it got really mild again!
 
Ive had fly sheets on mine. both fully clipped. Its just crazy weather, but loving it.

all the others in the field have lighweights and medium weights. Yesterday, one poor lad went out in 2 rugs!
 
Yes mine was out naked. She is being clipped tomorrow so the most she wears is a lightweight turnout anyway but it was warmish today.
 
Yup, nude as per usual. We've had awful awful rain until today, and he was naked in that too. I keep hoping it'll help him shift some of that weight, but it doesn't seem to bother him at all. Even when all the others are hiding under the trees from the weather, he's usually in the middle of the field munching away.
 
Marius was clipped out on Tuesday, but I haven't rugged him in the day. He's in at night with a fleece and he objects even to that! He will start having a lightweight rain sheet on next week as rain is forecast.
I hate to see horses over-rugged, especially as I know I tortured mine for years by over-rugging him
