Horse is on part livery, slightly underweight thoroughbred type, uncllipped and out of work for winter (I can't ride at the moment). I have put her in part livery as I can't be there to do the day to day care but I am wondering if the YO is overugging her a bit. She was in her stable with her 100 g full neck turnout on last night and it was 9 degrees. She was quite warm to the touch so I removed the rug but know that YO will put it back on unless I instruct otherwise.
Last month she was in her 50 g and I found her sweating in her stable so took that home but YO popped on her 100 g the next day saying it was windy.
The field is very muddy with not much shelter but she gets adlib hay and brought in at night. All the horses on the yard seem to be in full neck 24/7, but I know that wouldn't suit mine as she tends to be on the hot side rather than cold side.
What would you do? I think my options are to (1) tell YO that horse doesn't need rug for the moment, (2) buy a no fill rainsheet and let her use that or (3) just let YO choose what rug to use (likely to be the full neck 100g) as I can't be there to monitor on a day to day basis.
