Rug dilema - please help!

[saddlesore]

Ok, so having moved horse to a new yard 30 mins away i'm being lazy and puting off going up today

(he is in atm and has been checked). It is TIPPING it down here and is meant to stay on all night, its about 14 degrees ish and he will be out all night. He hasnt had a rug on all summer but it is god awful, should i drag my butt up to the stables and rug him or laze about indoors some more?

Not fair - it wouldn't let me tick BOTH options. It is a little known fact that humans AND horses can melt in heavy rain. You should train ned to be happy with an open umbrella tied to his head collar.

PMSL, i think that would take some serious training! I already have catching issues do to ridiculous fear of headcollar

I am very prone to melting

im not putting a rug on tonight i dont see the point its only a bit of rain gives him a shower he's a hefty bugger anyway so he can deal with it

is realy wet but its not overly cold so no leave it of him them he will get the benifit when the autum does start to come closer

Its not that cold, and he will get a nice shower i would leave it off im sure he will be fine. besides you are likely to melt in the rain
