As in title really. I have always tried to make sure my horses aren't too hot, but there is a horse on yard that seems to rugged up a level from all the others.
Just trying to get info as to if it could cause probs really. It is my horse, who is on loan to someone else, therefore I know, having owned him for many years, what his rugging needs are. He is young, fit, well covered and a good do oer. However I don't want to be insensitive to the loaner, but neither do I want my horse uncomfortable, particularly when I know he is not keen on being too hot. We have discussed it a few times but the message doesn't seem to be getting across, we had to request his rug be taken off on the hottest day of this year so far when the weather was in 20s. Tonight he is in a medium weight, and def getting on the sweaty side of warm. I have no probs with the way he is cared for, but think the rugging could become an issue.
