real random question

Does anyone have a horse who loves being in the stable???

One of my horses absolutely loves being in and rolls in his straw and loves it but the other hates being in and gets an awful grump on.

I didn't think usually they like being in.

What are your horses/ponies like???????

Depends on the weather!

My girlies don't like being left out in the rain, but hate being in if the sun is shining.

Def fair weather horses - keep finding brochures in the stable for moving to spain, lol!

My 3 yr old loves her bed - I put it down to her doing a lot of showing as a baby / yearling and hence being in and pampered quite a lot!!

I have had 2 or 3 neddies that have come from homes where they lived out 24/7 all year round - and those ones ALWAYS loved their stables. I think they seemed to appreciate them that little bit extra after their time living out all the time!
(mind I never have my lot in full time - they are always on a half day in half day out system)

my 2 really love their beds, my mare more so than my gelding.

My mare is far happier in than out! She hates being turned out. even though she has a lovely friend to play with and plenty of grass, after an hour she is at the gate and stays there until I get her in! However, she had a pretty traumatic past as she was left to winter out alone with no rugs (shes an ultra fine TB) and nearly starved to death!

My old lad loved his bed, Id open the stable door and he would poke his head out, check the weather and if it was fine he would pootle out whilst I mucked out, then trundle back in! Melly enjoys coming in, and obviously loves lying down and having a good sleep, but shes ready to go out in the morning! x

I have a split camp i have some fair weather horses, and others that just love their beds so much it is hastle to throw them out for even a few hours a day, and they are just waiting to come it, but i have 1 that just hates being in, and god help me if it is cold or wet then i am just the most horrid person on the planet for put the poor creatures out

My mare is far happier out, she doesn't pace tirelessly round her field, grab a mouthful, pace, shout, grab a mouthful, pace etc but she does in her stable. She was on box rest last week and towed me out to the field yesterday

I have to literally haul my cob out of the stable when its raining. He waits by the field gate all day desperate to come back in his nice warm stable. The mare would be out in all weathers by choice though....
