Anyone leaving back out now weather looks much more settled?

My 2 have been in for about the last month os due to so much unsettled weather and i@m not ready for them to be in every night all winter just yet! anyone else in the same boat and thinking of turning back out 24/7? My boy does feel the cold but he prefers it to the wind and rain so I can just wrap him up more!

As someone once said, only get them in if it is two of the following :

Very wet
Very cold
Very windy

I’m a great advocate of this. I got them in on Friday when it was very cold and windy but they are back out hopefully until about February.

mine were in fri and sat night but back out last night with rugs and a shelter and haylage. They will come in at night soon but I am trying to hold out as long as poss

Not out 24/7 as not enough grass but staying out longer than he ever has this time of year so that's a win! If I could turn out 24/7 I would!

This is a good one to go by! I decided to leave them out tonight as was such a lovely clear night just a bit chilly but not dropping below 0 here!

Yes

Mine's out tonight - there's loads of grass where he is, and he has a big fluffy coat.

Mine were in on Friday night but back out 24/7 by Saturday afternoon once the farrier had been. I’m only bringing mine in if heavy rain and wind. They are still on Summer grazing! Can’t believe how much grass I have for this time of year!

No mine came in Friday night for the storm but will most be out, ground depending. But I’ve got nearly 3.5 acres untouched to see me through

All our Foresters (and coblet) are out 24/7, coblet with a light rug on as clipped, and that is exactly where they will stay

Ours are out 24/7, they wore rugs last Friday/ Saturday in the wet and windy weather but they have been rugless since Sunday morning and are absolutely fine and happy.

Similar here, still in the summer/autumn grazing and I've never seen so much grass in it at this time of year! Winter field looking lovely & green too, usually move them over for Christmas. Just what we need now hay is going to be tight. Forgot to mention that I got another pony a week ago, keep the old girl company.

Yep! I have 2 1/2 round bales in my hay barn but hopefully won’t need to feed that until after Christmas unless we have snow!
