Hi how do you put a rug on a mare with a foal at foot who is still feeding occaisonally.
Mare is a full TB and a complete wimp when it comes to wet weather (has been a competition horse most of her life and pampered) In winter before she has been known to wear 3 rugs (heavy turnout, thick fleece and a middle/heavy stable rug) and still be cold!!!
I am planning on leaving her with the foal until at least christmas as the mare seems happy to wean her off herself.
I was thinking of normal rug but with a fillet string rather than leg straps? but am worries about the rug blowing up.
