Nahhhh, they were already wet when I got home from town, can't rug them wet but if they start looking sorry for themselves I guess they will be coming in tonight!
, keep ummming and ahhing about putting one on him during the day but he is. Might be a good excuse to buy another rain sheet as his his drenched right now!
Yes mine went out this mornign with one on because it was already raining and I read the forecast which said it was to be showers at various times during the day.
Yes after the post i made about getting my rugs off to be washed and mended i'm now eating my words.My lad is in a LW.My lovely grey horse is now a dirty shade of poo!.
yep Dan has lightweight on and Fleur a middle weight but thats only because her lightweight is soaked through and she doesn't have huge amounts of shelter in her field when rain goes in certain directions whereas Dan can hide in corner of two HUGE hedges!!
Yup.... lightweight fal during the day if raining and a fleece tonight as he got a bit sweaty when lunging and didnt want to leave him nakie incase he got a chill :-( Not normally anything at night as in though.
What temperatures are you having at the moment? That was what always used to bug me about England; you'd get all your rugs ready to go to the cleaners after taking them off for the year....only to find a month or so down the line you had to dig them back out again.
they got lighter, and then a bit thicker again - but then he is a wimp.

Mine neither. He's had a few nights without a rug, but its barely got above 10 degrees at night, and its been back down to 3 or 4 at night now. He's had a mw full neck on at night with all this rain, and he wasn't impressed when I took it off to put his lightweight on this morning!
mines never had hers off been in just a summer sheet tho but shes had her fleece back on the last week she feels the cold quite a lot. and sulks if she gets cold
Dol has her big stable rug back on, she doesnt go out if it is cold or raining. I put her on the walker this evening, as it was reasonably warm!
Apparently she was cold this morning, so i may put a thermatex on as well.
Silly old thing, shes so soft.
Cropi had been naked for weeks, day and night but since last weekend she has had a l/w on at night and during the day if its been raining. Tonight she was a bit cold under her rug so I have put a fleece on under her l/w, its so damn cold. We have gone from 23c during the day to 15c with howling north east winds and pouring rain
the rain is fine but can we have some southerly winds and a degree or two warmer please
