Visiting Missy and Tommy in the field , To make sure they are ok

They are both rugged up , although tommy is clipped he does have 2 rugs on (turnout has full neck as does missy )

I did tell hubbie I was away to get milk for the morning but took a 6 mile detour

This has been the first real bad frost we have had , Both geegees have been out since Monday , Just worried about the frost , esp with tommy clipped ??

horses cope with cold dry weather extremley well, if they are well rugged there is no reason a clipped horse can't live out, in fact they stay warmer dooodling around than they will stuck in a stable -STOP WORRYING!!

Of course you're horses are ok. They're fine in cold, its when its wet and windy that they tend to get cold IMO. My TB x Luso is hunter clipped and just has his Rambo Duo on (with 300g liner), it was -4 all day yesterday and he's always cosy whenever I stick my hand under! He'll be out all winter (snow etc.) in it. I rarely need to put any other rug underneath. Are other peoples horses woosy or something?!

As chilliem says - horses keep themselves warmer being out than cooped up in a stable anyway! Its crazy people are worried about horses being outside where they're meant to be!
