Mine are still out and have been since March. Is anyone thinking of bringing in. I going to hold out until next weekend. Most on our yard have brought in now!
 
Mine are still out, I think they want to come in now mind. I'm holding out that they can stay out until the weather really turns nasty!
 
We're still holding out until nxt weekend(before if weather turns). Really mild & horses are not wanting to come in yet. Most if yard is still out as well.
 
Mine are still out. And they ain't coming in! :-D They've got a couple of field shelters with big straw beds though, so they can please themselves. They're all still naked too. Im a mean mommy! :-)
 
Most of the yard was in from that frost the other week! But mine and my friends are out hopefully (weather dependant on trashed fields) till end of november.
She has blanket clip and is still only in LW no neck
 
My boy has been out since march and is still out at night. Naked in the day but rugged if its horrible weather/cold on a night. Going to bring him in 1st November though. Want him settled before fireworks really start - he reacts quite badly to them poor lad
 
Yes ours are still out. I know alot of yards change their routines when the clocks go back but we are sticking with night time turn out until our field starts suffering. As soon as the mud appears we will change.
 
Glad it's not just me...ours will hopefully be out for a little bit longer, they're moving into the last field this weekend so they should be out a few more weeks at least unless the weather is awful!
 
Two of my boys are still out as I have been busy rubber matting their stables for them before I put winter beds down and bring them in. They will be in from this sunday though :) they are okay out but the nights are getting colder and I know they would prefer to be in! also mine have always been in for bonfire night (and surrounding nights) and have always been fine (we even have fireworks at home but up the other end of one of the fields so far away from their stables) so I want them in again this year for all the fireworks!
 
Mine are still out... long may that last!!! I've been spoilt these last few years... I hope we get to keep them out all winter again this year.

Oh and no rugs, they seem to have grown a coat better than I could ever give them.. getting sick of clouds of mud though so may consider putting the WUG on soon.... :D

Same here. :D

They have a vast wardrobe which I will be carefully selecting their attire from and a big hedge to stand by. None of mine are clipped and at the moment only two are rugged in LW's although I will put them in MW's overnight. The TB and the grey arab are fluffy like teddy bears and are perfectly warm enough naked at the moment. :)
 
My younger ones are still out, but the old boy is in (i'm too soft!). They'll stay out all year unless the weather does get really horrific, but theyve got shelters in their fields so hopefully will stay out.
Most of our liveries are out barr one tb!
 
Ours are still out, field's not too bad yet, in fact only just packing the jumps away tomorrow!

Hoping for a few more weeks, we wait until they ask to come in.
 
The two 'wimpier' ones are in at night, but two are still out and I think they're going to be out 24/7 all winter because one refuses to be stabled - and unfortunately also refuses to be left alone in the field, so she's a bit of a trouble maker! Think her companion would prefer to be in a cosy stable though, bless him. They do have shelters though.
 
Ours are out 24/7 and we wouldnt have it any other way. They are much healthier and happier since our vet told us our grey must live out due to a very mild dust allergy, the rest followed and love it.
 
Mines come in tonight as I'm running out of grass! and everyone else has come in so she's out on her own. She's very easy to keep inside though so happy to!
 
Mare and foal are in but I'm phoning farmer tomorrow to get a big bale of straw into my shelter, haylage in my field and then I'm chucking them out again (even if they are TB's and foaly very late). Its very mild, I've got one on box rest needing a companion and I just can't do 4 in the morning. They will moan but they will survive I'm sure!
 
Mine are still out and it will hopefully stay that way for both of them. My highland pony has never been stabled and really doesn't seem to bother with how cold it gets in the south west (ie not very). The one bit of snow we had last year I found him snoring in a snow drift when I went to get him in so he's really not bothered! I'm not sure about the kids pony as it is the first winter we have had him so I will see how he gets on. I would prefer him to live out though, I do think its better for them.
 
yep my big wimp of a mare is still out at night, as long as I keep her rugged and feed her well she copes fine

there's lots of natural shelter and she'll eventually get her way and come in overnight but for now she's still out with her friends all night
 
My daughter's TB is unclipped and rugged,my new HW cob is unclipped and unrugged. I've always kept horses out, with a good shelter, apart from my old girl, when she reached her late twenties. Even so, she much preferred to be out, and used to barge me out of the way in the mornings in her haste to join her bovine mates.
