Do you think your horse will start coming in soon??

We're hoping ours will be out until the start of November. It usually depends on how wet it gets - last year wasn't so great but the year before that my Arab was still out at night without a rug on in mid-November.
 
90% of the horses on my yard are TB's they are all out and will be out for a while yet, have only just started putting sheets on them at night when its wet or forecast to be wet. Its stil 10 - 14 deg at night at the mo so they are all more than happy.

Not 100% sure when they will start coming in at night full time for winter as this will be the first winter i will be at this yard....but certainly no signs yet!
 
Mine will all be out 24/7 :D

I would love to see them tucked up snuggly and warm, but a) they have various medical issues, which mean that out is better than in, and b) they prefer being out :D

No doubt it will all change and we'll end up with them all in lol
 
At my yard any stabled horses must be inby Nov 5th, 2 of mine live out and one is stabled. The one stabled will probably come in earlier this year, he's a softy
 
nope at the moment its still end of oct that hes goin in still rugless at night might start wearing his lightweight soon but horsecrazy dont you dare make those little shetlands go in early!!!!

Im not on about shetlands actually wilsha!!!!!! There happy out at night :D so they will stay out for aslong as possible!!
 
My TB is in tonight. She has a lovely soft bed with 2 haynets and loads of water. We'll see how the weather is but if it doesn't pick up she staying in at night.
 
If i had my way he'd be out 24/7 a bit longer as he has access to stable anyway, but yo wants them coming in and staying in at nights soonish probably end sptember ish.
 
This makes me feel like a bad Mum!!!

Mine is a 2 yr old Thoroughbred just come up from a racing yard so had a huge lifestyle change in four days and is now out 24hrs without a rug!! He's been fine so far. He's not complained anyway. I am wanting to leave him out until end of October - might be ambitious but he can go out with a medium rug on, he'll be fine! I hope!!! :D

Awwww don't feel bad! aslong as he happy that the main thing, and he will be fine in a medium weight. :D x
 
I usually try and eek it out until the end of October, just after bonfire night! That's if the ground holds out that long! At the mo it os ok, but we are on heavy clay here, so as soon as it gets really wet if it's before the end of Oct, they will be in!
I got their stables ready last weekend, I love doing that bit, all fresh new straw! (God am i sad?)!

God knows. Vet thinks she may have had a brushing injury I didn't see and then put them on her, allowing infection to fester or she's kicked herself and bruised causing an odaema or she's damaged a tendon. Coming back first thing to see what the antiinflam injection has left us with.:(
I put them on her as a new livery was causing her to hoon around so I put them on in case she injured herself = spot the irony!
