I made the decision this year to winter out my lad with no rug on as I am always struggling to keep the weight off him and he is a Welsh un-clipped type that has a huge coat. I am hoping to keep his weight down by not rugging and he seems to be coping fine so far. I did put a rain sheet on him during the snow and -15 degrees we had lately but wondered now whether he did actually need it at all?!
Those with horses not rugged...did you do anything different when the temperatures were dropping to -7 and worse...or still leave them out un-rugged?
He is in at night on hay and has grass to nibble in the field in the day and is not too bad weight wise but carrying a bit more than I would prefer.
