Those who bring in in winter and turn out in summer 24/7

Our little unclipped pony is in because I cant risk frost lami, but three big'uns are all out! Only J is clipped and he is woolly again already, won't clip him again until I bring him in for the night, which I am hoping not to do til the end of this month. Other 2 mares are not clipped (yet) but even if I do clip them later they are out 24/7.
Of the ones who are out, my 2 have their older HW rugs without necks on as yet, and my OH's mare has an underrug and her LW turnout on as all her HWs have necks and she's a woolly mammoth!
 
All out at the moment, 'cos the weather has been so dry and (reasonably) mild overnight - even the WB and our little cob who is clipped are out, suitably rugged up. All seem very happy, not showing any signs of wanting to be in overnight so far. Yippee! The longer it delays daily mucking out the better!

Henry's still out and will be for as long as possible! He's already been fully clipped and regrown hair, now he's in a MW but probably boiling as I type, poor lad! Still, he'll be bald again come Sunday!
 
All of ours still out, babies will be coming in to be weaned for a week when we have the new muck trailer and some straw and then after that the 3 boys will probably come in over night, the rest stay out 24/7.
 
My horses live out 24/7 in summer and in in the winter. I started bringing them in almost two weeks ago now as they are fully clipped and I like to have then in the stables so I can go and check how warm they are before I go to bed!
 
Mine is in at night as it's a yard rule - I wouldn't sleep myself if he was still out at night!!! He'll be going out 24/7 from about end of April/early May.
 
All mine have been in a week now.
Mainly because i needed to clip both winston and snoopy. Plus I wanted to start doing some proper work wtih them now.
TBH theyve been standing near the gate wanted to come in and as soon as they see the car they charge down and arent at all bothered in the mornings yet.
I just hope the weather continues like this as I hated having them in all day and night last winter as my grazing flooded
