One that may be interesting!
Mine is kept in today due to the water in the field freezing over (we had to smash it with a hammer as couldn't break with boot, frozen down sides of buckets, will measure how thick later for my own curiosity) so quickly and the wind chill. The field is in an exposed location and there is not enough natural shelter at the moment for where they are. The stable is currently warmer and the buckets are not icing over. The horse in question is also a warmblood that grows nothing of a winter coat.
At what point do you say "this is too much - they're coming in"?
Edited to add: just curious what others do, not asking for advice on this one!
