Is there a cut off point that you would rug? I am in the New Forest and so my field kept ponies are right next to semi-feral forest ponies that are not rugged. Even at -5.9 earlier this week mine were still warm to the touch.
It is forecast to be -7 tonight and that is colder than I can remember it being since I have been living here. Every single field kept horse and pony near me have at least one rug on. I am actually wavering on whether to rug, but think that as they are used to being unrugged, albeit not used to -7, it would be worse to flatten their coats. Thoughts?
