My "irish type" has a high blanket clip and is out in the medium weight (spotty joules one, not sure what weight) as she came in chilly this morning after getting a through soaking last night in a lightweight.

Deffo knew it was colder today - washed my hands under hose and really regretted it! This time last week I was having a water fight in shorts and T shirts!

chaser clipped oldie is in a 100g. full clipped 12yr old is in a 100g plus a full neck lightweight. both out 24/7. 12yr old will likely be clipped again tomorrow and then go up to a MW plus or minus a neck depending on wind strength and if due to rain or not.

Everyones in a 200g I think.

OH is at his house, getting ready for work and has just posted on FB that he feels bad leaving his boy out, while my girls are snuggled up inside - Don't think he will be living out much longer!

Ours are still out, in lightweights at night, nothing in the day. No rain here though and they haven't been clipped yet so are gorgeously toasty in all that fluff!

21yo IDxTB unclipped has lightweight rug on (no filling).

14yo TB in lightweight also. He was clipped 3 weeks ago but it has pretty much grown out already! He is a hot horse so have to be careful not to over rug him or he will roast! Second clip is on Sat, so mid weight with or without neck depending on weather.

Both horses live out all year round and were toasty warm this eve! I wasn't tho, it's bloomin cold compared to last weekend, a bit of a shock to the system!!!

My TB's have been out naked most days, sometimes having a rain sheet on, and naked in stables at night, but it's so horrible tonight they have lightweight stable rugs and I've got medium weight turnouts ready for tomorrow! And I've just put the heating on for the first time!

all living out are unrugged (broodmares and 4mnth foals upwards) weaning begins after weekend so the babes will be in at night. and one or two of the mares will come in as well- but no rugs unless clipped

The unclipped are in medium weights (mainly as the unclipped now are the pain in the arse sedation jobbies or a couple that arnt in competition work at moment )and the clipped are in about 300g so heavyweight i guess
