Thank you for eveyone who PM'd me about safe cobs for sale. Have moved house now and ready to look so AM looking for a companion safe friend for her and my partner - anyone who still has one for sale please PM ( 16hh and VERY safe pref in Kent and able to live out).
Buuuuuuuut have found a new yard where the rest of the liveries have been turned out all summer and not planned to come in til weather turns v bad.
My mare has been stabled at night for last 19 months so wondering if am mad to think about turning her out 24/7 in October (will rug her at night tho' she's not rugged at all at min). In the past I kept her at home and she lived out 24/7 and doeas well on it so am I just being paranoid?
shw is getting hot though when ridden and if I was stabling her as usual I'd be clipping this weekend. I want to move yards next weekend and so not sure when/if to clip?
Feel as best bet would be to turn away for a week or so, not clip and not ride other than v lightly, then, light work and then light clip and rug light, then increase clip and work.
am i being over careful?
