Whats the weight tonight?

[shadowboy]

ok, just because i'm intreagued as to how quickly some one will guess- One livery has rugged her horse tonight. He is unclipped and a warmblood- guess the total weight in grams he's wearing tonight?

 

[horsegirl]

450?

 

[TiaPony]

I'm guessing quite a bit! 350g?
I admit to that fact my pony is rugged up to her eye balls atm though, it is blinking cold!

 

[Cobland]

300

 

[Moggy in Manolos]

too much?!?

 

[Chex]

Its either going to be nothing, or about 600gm lol

 

[shadowboy]

keep going up!

 

[SilverSkye]

I guess 700g??

 

[Moggy in Manolos]

bloody hell, where do they keep said horse? antarctic?

 

[shadowboy]

still not there.....

 

[meandmyself]

800?

Do tell!

 

[Chex]

800?

 

[shadowboy]

nope- keep going...

 

[meandmyself]

Holy hell, I didn't know that rugs came in such high weights!

1000?

 

[Moggy in Manolos]

900?

 

[SilverSkye]

Crikey what an evil mother that makes me my fully clipped horse has under 300g on but was toasty warm when i left her about 6 ish. Even in the depths of winter i never get near 700g!!!

 

[shadowboy]

well done you got it.

 

[maddielove]

oh dear...fully clipped out horse is out with 360!

my guess is 950?

 

[Moggy in Manolos]

my god, that is over rugging at about its worst, an unclipped horse with all that, its ridiculous! poor thing

 

[shadowboy]

this is why i wanted to be doing my own horse rather than the other livery taking over.

 

[maddielove]

very worrying...i dont think i have enough rugs to add up to that

 

[Moggy in Manolos]

i dont blame you frankly

 

[SpruceRI]

Blimey

It'll expire from heat exhaustion won't it?

Haha, all of my 3's rugs put together wouldnt be that! My 3 are clipped and have 350g rugs on.

 

[showjump2003]

Mine are both full clipped and have a 360g stable rug and fleece on and feel just right. It is freezing outside. Just had to de ice my car to get back from work

It is -5 here tonight. My horse is in an open pen, so read *out*, and is in a necked Mark Todd under-rug, a 250g (v old, not much padding in there now!), a 150g (which is also v old and thin) and a full neck TO which is 250g = I would say 450g tops (with added insulation of layering) - she is fully clipped and I will ensure I am there by 9am to adjust. She had the top rug added at 10pm as at 5pm evening stables it was still above freezing, so if she had been rugged up then she wouldn't have had the benefit later on. Up until tonight she has just had the light duvet (150g) and the TO on.

Spring has a blanket clip and is in a 250gm under rug with neck and 150gm stable rug. She was toasty when I left her at 8pm and the school had frozen then, it is meant to be -5C here too.

 

[dun_in]

Mines on 0gm!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fat and woolly.

 

[MagicMelon]

That's really quite awful. There is no way that horse needs that! I don't even go above 450g and mine all live OUT, hunter CLIPPED and one is a TB x Luso so a woose! All are cosy enough whenever I check them... Right now the woose has on his Rambo Duo with the liner which comes with it, without the neck cover (its bust

). My other clipped ned, a Welsh D who is never cold is in a WB Orican which he lives in all winter. I never add under rugs unless its actually a blizzard outside. My 2 old ponies have nothing on just now.
