Are your horses out naked yet?

[GinaB]

Two of ours are now out naked and loving it

 

[FAYEFUDGE]

Nope! But hopefully soon!
Sick of the sight of turnout rugs!

 

[Grumpy Herbert]

I wish they were - I hate rugs!

But it's SO cold here, still, and windy and raining so mine still have rugs on.

 

[Bozzy]

Yesterday he had a fly sheet on and back in lightweight today due to rain this morning. Looking outside now I wish I'd just taken it off.

 

[dianchi]

No way!
Mind u mine is rugged all year in the field.

 

[GinaGem]

Ru was naked yesterday which was lovely but it's a bit colder and raining here today so he's got a lightweight on

Cairo was for the first time this year. Chancer has his summer t/o on as he is showing this weekend and I am trying to keep him cleanish as we are still on winter mud paddocks.

Today - summer t/o for both - Cairo is old and needs to be kept warm and dry for his joints.

Not long and it will be hot weather and fly sheets - I hope.

No mind you ours arent in the field yet,

 

[lowbardon]

not yet still in medium weights but there out now so its not too bad,it raining and still cold up here

 

[lisan]

Ours are in this week while they roll the fields

Roll on next monday!

 

[sfward]

My TB's living out at the moment and not in work, Mum was all for whipping her rug off completely on Monday, but seeing as it is still cold here and getting down to 4 degrees at night and she had been in her winter weight up to then, I thought that was a bit mean!! So she has her lightweight on now, but I'm hoping to take it off on friday when it's meant to get a lot warmer

She'll then stay naked whatever the weather until the autumn, I can't be doing with changing it every day, but I do like to give them a bit of time to acclimatize gradually!!

 

[luckilotti]

some of mine are and some arnt. they have been out 24/7 all winter and its just my old retired mw hunter who has one on now, gone down from one with a neck cover to standard neck.
the livery horses who have been allowed to keep them out at night a few weks now, tend to either still be rugged at night or all the time.

 

[DiablosGold]

He was but he has a lw at the mo as it's pouring with rain. When he's clipped soon he'll wear a lw until it's warm.

Ooooh, do you think anyone would notice if I snuck May into one of your fields for a few days?????? lol - she barged out this am and ran off up the yard to go and flirt with the boys in the top stables!

 

[Christmas Crumpet]

Mine is naked during the day unless its p*ssing with rain. Got mw rug on at night. Hoping to leave her naked completely soon!!

 

[kick_On]

not yet, but down to lighter rugs with no necks - OMG mud

But once they off, they stay off until sept, cos i've heard a rumour that horse are waterproof!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Accy]

Mine are both naked at the moment, have been for a few days but feeling guilty today as it is now raining opps

 

[squirtlysmum]

Me too Accy, it was lovely this morning and now its been raining for a while, if it stops it'll be ok otherwise I'll have to get the soggy boys in to dry off before the have their pyjamas on.

 

[BBs]

Old horse was naked yesterday.
The others all have their medium 200g spring/autumn rugs on with no necks.
Twas pouring this morning so wasnt going to chance them getting too cold (they are clipped out).
Am considering turning them out full time come next week tho.

 

[rdc1000]

Naked..is it August already?! :-S

 

[Lill]

Ours are out naked today, think they might be abit wet now oops!

We've got as far as naked during day, rugs on at night

 

[carthorse]

Swapped mine to out at night in during the day so they still need rugs while out and Rafi needs his sweetitch rug on all the time now.

 

[HorseS0S]

Somedays yes but today it was raining cats and dogs, so after I had ridden I put some L/W waterproof ones on them. Then tonight I will change them back to the warmer, waterproof ones! I wish i worried about what i wear as much...x x x

 

[lastresort]

yes mine are all loving it its not cold but drizzling a bit. has been quite warm here for ages.

Was cross though as I left saw my grey rolling in a wet muddy bit grrrrrrr

 

[buffy2]

The oap has a light rug on,the welshie is naked,but then she has been all winter.lol

 

[Pep12]

Was naked during the day till today as is freezing up here. Still rugs on at night at the mo. can't wait till it warms up so they can be off all the time.

 

[nikkiportia]

Naked during the day this week.........but now it's drizzling

Just to add, all the horses are naked at work - all yr round! And the mares already have excellent fine summer coats, And yet Ellis, who has been rugged, is about half way through shedding.
I think most horses are over rugged nowadays! - They are horses after all.......

 

[newtonpark]

yep...day and night as from yesterday...

 

[Ellies_mum2]

Was going to leave Ellie naked but then it clouded over and threatened to rain so I left her LW waterproof on but now I wish I had left her naked

. Its lovely and warm and sunny ...

 

[amanda1788]
