To Rug or Not To Rug?

[lamb1977]

Hiya, as we're having some lovely weather I'm wondering about rugging up my tb. When is it warm enough to stop putting a turnout rug when out in the field? She's fairly skinny at the moment and was clipped in December. Thanks

If the temperatures are above 10C and its dry with no chill factor, I'd chuck out rugless, as long as the horse has forage and is fit and healthy.

I chucked my mare out today rug less and she's a TB she also had a quick bath before going out to try and repel flies, didn't work though

Mine spends most the time naked if its wet and cold Ill chuck a rug on.
