Anyone tugging at night now?

Brilliant thread, this may go down in HHO history! No tugging here :p and no rugging either, even though my lad is fully clipped.

By the way the 'no, mine is naked' comments really tickled me too!
 
That title amused me far more than it should! Fantastic!

Old boy (poor doer) in no-fill sheet for first time last night and younger one naked. They're out 24/7/365.
 
Nope. It is over 30C during the day, drops to a chilly 20C overnight.

I may be leaving my rugs off for a it longer yet :D
 
Not rugging (chrome wants me to change it to tugging) here, but clipping this week, so will be then. Grey pony has decided that it's a good idea to start growing his winter coat already(the joys of natives, eh?)
 
Its not to cold where l keep my horses but its getting pretty windy my palomino filly is starting to dapple & my ISH is moulting bad, autumn is definitely on its way but don't want to rug up until l have to its getting thd balance right l suppose!!!
 
It's very chilly here tonight so from tomorrow the TB and the WB and the clipped cob ( who evil owner wont rug until he's freezing ) will have jackets Fatty the ID is allowed no clothes .
 
I have thought about it, he wear a fly sheet during the day. However have discovered it only gets very cold here in the early hours (3am ish), so it's only a couple of hours, but he does get cold :( So no, unless it drops below 10 degrees. He's a very fine coated TB. If he does wear anything at night its a amigo cotton sheet.
 
I was poo picking the field late last night and have definitely noticed a chill in the evening air - autumn is on its way!

Not rugging as I have a hardy fjord youngster who I don't plan on clipping this winter :)
 
I had to clip my shetland last week as her winter coat was well on its way and she was itching/sweating in the 25 degrees heat. Have been putting a rain sheet on her at night just in case it rains.
 
All our ponies have lightweights on at night, and fly rugs in the day. There is a definite chill in the air and the TBs in particular really feel it. I suspect we could leave the Argentines without rugs all winter and they'd be fine...but I'm a softy...
