Its 7-8 degrees at night here, and the beast is currently in a 100g turnout, he hasn't been clipped all winter. The weather has been pretty lovely by recent comparison but is set to get a bit wet by friday again. I have been holding off on whipping off the rug for 2 reasons really - the swamp-like resemblance that his field has - I just know he will roll straight away and the mud is thick and just bleurgh. It is however better than it was - not completely dry but much better for the weather this week. Second, 8 degrees isn't freezing by any standard but its still a bit brrr. Every day I say I will take the plunge tomorrow and every day I put it off for one more day. But he is moulting like the beast he is and I do like to take their rugs off when they are moulting and let them have a good roll around...
So, am I being a wuss? Anyone else taken the rugs off? I only go up in the evening so the rug would have to be off over night as its not fair to ask my YO to do this in the morning.
