Maybe Lola could have done with some, she still has her ears though.

So long as they have basic needs met of food/water/shelter I'm sure most are fine in this weather. These 2 were toasty under their rugs despite the snow!

Pitty the owners of the foal near here that died didnt read it. We told them the foal was freezing cold and wet but they took no notice, next morning it was dead. A rug probably ould have saved it.

Oh that is a shame, a foal probably wouldn't have enough body fat to cope with the wet and the cold.

My 2 are wearing bedsocks during this extreme cold. They get their legs wrapped in fleece bandages overnight (plus their layers of rugs & plenty of food) & I have found this really does help to keep them warm.
