I was taught that once a horse is in at night, that's how it stays for that season - they need routine and it reduces the colic risk from changing from hay to grass and back again. Everyone of my generation (which is fairly old lol) was taught the same, horses either live in or out (usually in for winter nights and out for summer) unless there is a very good reason such as preparing for a show etc.
A rainy night isn't a good reason, maybe to rug but not to stable if they have been living out.
Anyone else taught the same? It's one reason why come autumn I leave mine out as long as possible, and have always done it that way, but I can't find it written anywhere.
