Found this article online and wondered what your own winter tips were for a happy and healthy horse?

Before I built my yard, so I just had a farm, most of mine were out 24/7 with access to a barn, but I hardly ever rode in winter. Since building my yard with facilities such as indoor arena, outdoor arena, horse walker, round pen, hot water, solarium, all-weather turnout pens, most of mine are in 24/7 with access to the turnout pen and facilities, and are turned out once or twice per week if the ground isn't water logged, but they are clipped, worked and happy. My retired ones and youngsters are still out 24/7 in a huge grassy field. I really think it depends on individual circumstances and facilities. I've done both, still do both and much prefer having them in!!!
