Who needs a rug when there is snow

He is warm underneath his coat, the snow isn't melting because the coat is efficient in stopping the heat from escaping.

If he were mine I'd be slapping a rug on.... Just kidding :D
 
My rising four warm blood gelding is out 24/7 no rug and no shelter just natural shelter with big hedges and trees. He's perfectly happy even on the thick snow. His coat is like a bears - very very thick. I check he's warm by feeling behind his elbows and under his mane and base of ears - he feels warmer than his rield mate that has three rugs on!
