Monday dithering going on here!
Last night it looked like the storm was going to pass us by. This morning though we are predicted 20mm of rain in about 2 hours with a likely thunderstorm in the early hours. I think even my PSSM mare will have to put up with the rain because its so humid and that kind of rain will go straight through a rainsheet. My OH thinks I should bring them in, but my little draft horse absolutely hates loud noises and I think he'll be better in a field than a small stable.
OH then tells me lots of horrible stories about cows dropping dead when lightning struck their field (he used to work for one of the electricity companies). Thanks for that!
So do you leave out in storms? My gut feeling is to let them get on with it, although I will probably be wide awake worrying if we do get a decent storm here - doesn't happen very often
