Turning out in the snow!

[Mid]

I know this is completely random, seeing as it's practically summer, but I'm soooo bored...

Would you turn your horses out in the snow?

Yeh Peter used to absoloutely love being out in the snow!

 

[Rachel_M]

As long as I know what the surface is like underneath then Yep!

 

[Kate_13]

Yup, and give them hay. They love they snow!

 

[Super_Kat]

If I had turnout then yep.

 

[skye123]

depends on how thick it is etc etc. i will normally as it dosent bother me as long as they are warm.

however when we had snow last winter our field was very rutty so with the snow over the top it was a big no no as they could have easily twisted something

Yes of course. Why not?! All mine live out 24/7 all year round. Obviously they have 2 shelters / stables they can go in whenever they want and are rugged up. Mine have been out in almost blizzard conditions with no problems. They seem to love rolling in it. I think it would be a tad different if we got proper proper snow like Canada etc. though! That would likely bury one of my little ones...!

 

[Nailed]

yup.. Its white.. its fluffy.. and when you role in it .. it turns brown!!!!!!!

 

[Rachel_M]

......and yelllow

 

[Nailed]

only if you wee on it!

 

[CheekyCob]

Yeh, rug them up [heavy] and then turn them out. As long as it isn't snowing really hard as one of my cobs doesn't like any weather except SUN!!

 

[pottamus]

Yes, my boy was out in it all the time in his rug. He even carried on eating grass through several hours of blizzard...even though he could go in if he wanted to!

 

[truffles]

Yep, as long as lots of vaseline was put in.

Yeap, see my sig! Ours love the snow! Obviously wouldn’t if it was really icy or nasty but otherwise yes.
