What rugs have your horses got on at the moment?

Hunter clipped connie in a 200g combo, out during day in at night. Does stay out some nights though. Do put his snuggy jams rug under it on a night unless friend is turning him out.

If it gets cold like its meant in the next few days he'll have a stable rug under day and night.
 
Mines still got no rug on during the day (despite one or 2 people at the yard making comments about how it's getting cold and the rain will make them colder & basically hinting that they think I'm being mean by not putting anything on him..). He's a hardy native who lived out 24/7 with no rug pretty much all of his life until last year when we moved yards.
I've been putting a waffle on him at night especially when it's been raining and will put a light/med stable rug on when it's really cold.
He is overweight and I'm using winter to help him lose weight by not rugging him as well as him being on a diet etc
 
My little Connie X has a blanket clip. Our fields are about a foot under water at the mo so they're all stuck in. At night he has on a 75g full neck and during the day just a LW (no fill). Both are turnouts because I find stable rugs get disgusting very quickly!
 
This threat makes me chuckle every time it is done. What do people do when it's really cold!! 70g turn out with neck on a 21 year old, ID type with a trace clip. 100g stable rug with no neck at night. Once it stops raining he will go back out at night too.
 
Blanket clipped ISH. 200g Necked turnout. She has the same rug on at night to save time changing rugs etc, plus it helps dry it out if it has rained (she is dry underneath though) she is toasty warm in this, so don't think she will be needing anything else until it is very cold!

Last year she was trace clipped, I could not put a neck on her because she got far too hot, even in the snow!

I must admit I am very shocked at some of the rugs people are already putting on their Horses. But I suppose it is their Horse. But I get what you mean, it isn't that cold at the moment.
 
These threads make me chuckle because as soon as I see
'If people are using HW rugs now, what will they use when it gets really cold?' I know I've hit Full House on my HHO bingo card :D

Anyway I rug as much or as little as needed to keep the horse warm for that day. I don't worry or 'save' rugs because I'm worried about how cold it *might* (or might not ;) ) get. If needed I will layer rugs to get the horse to a happy temperature.

Today wimpy 'likes to be warm' unclipped TB is wearing a full neck med weight Rambo with a thin-med insulator rug underneath.
Older unclipped TB is wearing a Rambo duo incorporating a light liner. No neck.
Welsh mountain is in the nudey :)
 
My WBxTB with high trace clip is in at night in her Rambo Newmarket stable rug (200g) with no neck, and is out during the day in a Snuggy Hood with ears and a lightweight Amigo XL without neck. She's more than warm enough. Might add a neck cover to the stable rug if it drops colder and up the t/o to a medium weight Amigo XL but even if it drops to -3 or lower mine gets too hot in anything too warm. I've got a Fal Power turnout combo in heavyweight. Even with a hunter clip last winter, she only wore it twice.
 
One's in a lightweight as he's a wimp and his weight drops with the temperature. Coblet had to have lightweight on today as he has developed signs of rain scald and I don't have a rain sheet for him....Poxy weather :(
 
Nothing on 2yo that lives out and MW on clipped cony that lives out. Not ready for HW yet, he won't be aloud rugging up beyond that so we will save that for the real cold wether.
 
My ISH mare is clipped and wearing a 200g Rambo Wug. Elderly TB is unclipped and wearing a Rambo Duo with liner (200g in total) neck cover as well - she feels the cold. In the stable overnight they both had M/W rugs on.
 
Both mine live out 24/7.

Unclipped 16.3 warmblood.
Quilted shoulder protecter on first, then
1 x rambo H/W wug (bit old and feels thin these days though!) and then
1 x amigo hero M/W (200g) with neck, on top

Blanket clipped 17hh TB (with anorexic tendancies)
1 x Snuggy hood (shoulder and neck, no head) underneath the two rugs-
1 x Shires Typhoon H/W mid-neck , and then
1 x Amigo Hero M/W (200g) with neck, on top

My two hunt and I can't afford for them to lose condition. The TB never gets "hot" anyway so better he is too warm than remotely cold.
 
My boy is fully clipped head legs the lots.

at night he is now wearing a fleece then a LW stable then his heavy combo ontop
in the field he wears a HW combo probably about 300g
 
They are now naked, out 24/7. If the rain AND wind start again at the same time, lightweights (no fill) will go back on, but only because there is nowhere to get out of the wind. Until then, they have fantastic coats. I look forward to seeing some fuzzies tomorrow morning! :D
 
full tb with a high chaser clip is in his 200gm turnout, neck up at night but down during the day. If he gets too hot, then he goes back into his fleece cooler for the day, and back into his 200gm turnout at night.
 
A Heavy weight with two medium weights on top and then a light weight. I am thinking I should maybe pop a fleece or two under as well its now down to minus 1. What do you guys think do you think she would be warm enough.


She is a Norwegian Fjord pony.:p

Nooo she will still be freezing.. maybe buy some cling flim and wrap it round her a few times just to be on the safe side she is nice and toasty :D:p
 
Tb clipped in 300g full neck plus full neck fleece at night
200g full neck turnout or full neck fleece plus extra fleece daytime.
Clipped for second time this week.
 
Horses live out 24/7, one fully clipped and in a 300g stable rug with 100g turnout on top

hunter clipped pony (although grown back a bit) in 400g heavyweight

hunter clipped and mostly grown through pony in 400g heavyweight

they feel a nice temperature in those, a tad too warm (not sweating by any means) but when it hits night and the temperature really drops I feel they need them. its only going down to -2/-3 , I don't know what I will do when if it gets to -10 . didn't have to rug them up as much as this last year, seem to be wimpy this year
