1* Warmbloods do not seem to melt in the rain

2* Warmbloods with top class dressage breeding can survive in a LW TO with no neck. I know it shocked me as well.

3* Said Warmblood will continue to put on weight despite rain, wind and only having a LW TO.

4* Horse still remembers its schooling despite lack of filling, neck cover and being in a stable at night.

Conclusion
At the moment it is too early to draw a conclusion. Inclement weather is on its way to fully test resolve.
 
Ha ha you are just tooooo soft. My Don Henrico/Argument 3yr old is still out 24/7 and so far unclipped and unrugged. Due to amount of work he is getting can't see him needing clipping this winter so will see how he goes but he looks really well and gets 1/2 scoop of Non-heating cubes a day. Previous winters he was in a fold yard with other youngsters and has never been rugged up in the winter so don't want to start making him 'special needs' just yet. :-)

Don't tell me you turn it out without equichaps on? I bet the poor thing has leg rot.
You probably don't even exercise with a sheet on?
That's just insane. Go and stand in the naughty corner.
 
My warmblood is naked, out 24/7 and on a diet.

The TB at mine is also out 24/7 and only in a LW for the rain.

Amazingly, they are still alive! I'm sure someone will send the RSPCA to collect them shortly.
 
Horse is actually in a rainsheet with no fill but thought whoever JM7 is now would kill me for putting my horse at such a bacterial risk!!

The only reason he has that on is to keep him vaguely clean as I am too lazy to clip, keep him in and brush him off.
 
Hahaha mine too!

He hate being hot and if he does starts troting around worrying - thus making him hotter- (SUCH A WB!!!!) so I have to under rug him.

But I was driving home yesterday 7pm on the 3rd of Nov and it was still 15 degrees- its not cold at all! They slept out in colder than this in the summer :)

oh your WB obviously hasn't got high enough dressage breeding if it can survive in this country at all without at least 3 rugs:p:D (i think you have a cob really:eek: )

LOL


Its so warm atm mine is only in a lightweight to keep rain off, hardly any winter coat either where as the cobs have gone into winter mode and thick hairy coat already, poor things are boiling.

nah, it's the cobs and natives that are queuing up to come in and trying to convince us that they must live like racehorses:D

yep exactly lol

My TB is still unrugged, and as above, is not yet melting. Next doors hairy shetland is rugged to the eyeballs.

Still pretty mild here
 
Mt TB is in a lw with neck to stop him getting disgustingly filthy in the lovely dust patches which he has lovingly been preparing all summer and have now turned into boggy muddy pits. First thing he did this morning after his breakfast was dig a bit more mud out and roll in it, he really should have been a hippo:} He is not at all cold but is a bit sulky cos he hates getting his face wet, given the chance he will walk sideways on to the rain to avoid it!!
 
My WB is only in a lw too and just a summer sheet at night whilst everything else is clipped and rugged to the eyeballs even though they don't get ridden ;)

She looks flipping fantastic even if I do say so myself :)
 
mines clipped out - except legs and face and in a NO FILL!

shes in at night but anything other than a no fill shes roasting!!!

strange hoss.
 
My tb is very jealous of him then as it was bucketing down this morning so I subjected her to a mw with neck.

Am now sat in my office looking at the sun bearing down and counting down the minutes til I can go and rip it off her :mad:

Its ridiculous isn't it? My (very old) tb is out in a med/light full neck. I got soaked this morning before work so thought it best he keep it on, yet it is blazing sunshine now.

I am not a WB person (as in I don;t have one) but have worked in dressage yards. Fail to under stand why you would have a WB and treat it like a TB? I love my TB but god what a faff he is compared to the others (natives) i wouldn;t have another one unless I didn;t have to work......
 
ISH with trace clip, naked at night but stabled and no fill amigo in day - even during this down pour! and she still fat. Humph!
 
My warmblood x is clipped and out overnight in a medium weight no neck turnout,during the day he is in a no fill amigo.

He is also still remembering his schooling with no exercise sheet on.

Do you think his passport may be faked?

My TB wintered out all last year with no rug, stable or hard feed :eek: she had to go on a diet come spring ;) I probably should add that she is 20 now too ;)

Brilliant! People make me laugh when they say that WB shouldn't be treated like TBs - WBs have so much TB blood in them these days, they are almost TB! And TBs aren't all wusses - it's the owners that fuss.
