[Firehorse]

those that live out 24/7??

 

[PurplePickle]

about 3 weeks ago, the non clipped have been for over a month

 

[Sparkles]

Left mine out without last night as weather was meant to be mild....but come this morning was running up and down the gate and came in shivering this morning lol. I think Wimp may just be the word tho!

Mine live out without rugs - but they are big hairy Dales, so they can cope quite easily.

 

[Umbongo]

I normally wait until the weather is mild but the temperature is in double figures.

Hopefully in the next couple of weeks. The weather is supposed to dry out towards the end of this week so I may well leave her naked then, she has a partly grown out apron clip. Also she has had a couple of naked nights already

Its usually always april that I let her go naked all the time

Clipped hunter type and ID filly been naked for a month now, fine tb in lightweight sheet - shivers in the rain! Hope she will be naked in a week or so.

I took my mares off around 3 weeks ago but she only had a light weight on to start with, she is a very hairy girl. I find she gets itchy and irritable when she starts to moult with a rug on, she has a look of relief when the rug comes off so that she can roll and leave white hair patches on the grass.

I am gonna say a bad thing!!! Mine has been clipped all winter but only been in a med weight during the cold weather and a LW rest of the time (hes a very heavy lad). But im gonna wait until the field dries out coz hes stayed very shiny, but he could have it off now tbh. As for pony she may not over the summer, gonna see how her arthritus plays tbh. As for new pony in a few weeks shes getting naked as shes been in all winter so would be a bit unfair to put her on full turnout and naked.

When it stops snowing!! At this rate I would have thought it won't be till June!!

 

[GLEEK]

At night?!!!!! We still hav snow too. They arent even naked in the day. They havent even started moulting!!!!!

 

[Toady]

My two are out now unless we have a monsoon.

 

[SO1]

Mine started living out naked this weekend - he has a chaser clip but has not been clipped since mid november and is a naturally very warm boy.

He seems very happy to be naked and the field is very sheltered so he would be hot in the sun with his LW turnout on - also he is a good doer so don't want him to get lardy with the spring grass coming through!

 

[sydney]

Mines been out for a while now naked as much as poss when its dry, but he is a slightly chubby section D.

 

[Lollii]

Naked!! I don't think so would you put your horses out naked in this? even the pony has a rug on now - mucky bug*er!

 

[Collytown]

My tb who lives out 24/7 has been in a lw no fill turnout for 3 weeks.

 

[Enfys]

It's 12C out there at 11pm! Mid 20's by day, mine haven't seen rugs for weeks, we're having freakish weather.
Often we still have snow on the ground now, the UK has got our weather it would seem.

 

[spookypony]

Mine's been naked all winter, but has full coat. He wore a rug for 2 days earlier this week though, when we had sudden snow/severe wind/rain again.

 

[HollyWoozle]

Mine went naked a few weeks ago but then the temperature dropped again!! They went back in their lightweights over night and now just Belle is left like this and the others are back naked 24/7.

 

[Prince33Sp4rkle]

never!

mine dont go out overnight at all, and so even in summer i go out around 10/11pm and swap their cotton sheets for thermatexes.

 

[freckles22uk]

Mine live out all year round, but I go day by day with their rugs, they have been naked for a week now at night, but its turned cold again so the rugs have gone back on..

strange weather in Spain where I am... take Sunday... very warm in the day..20'c+ )so naked horses) then at night it dropped below freezing (so rugs on)

 

[winchester]

Took rugs off my lot this morning!!! Supposed to rain tomorrow and Thursday - but all have long coats and very itchy so will probably just leave them off now!!!

 

[Firehorse]

Lollii!! i love that video. they look like they're having a fantastic time there, esp the little grey. i was i stitches watching that. def wudnt want to grooming him after tho!!!
