It's chucking it down here (again!!) so glad we've got the option of stables so they're all in for night.

Really enjoying the drought ;-)
 
We are awaiting the local weather forecast, as we speak. The national WF was completely wrong, according to that we should have had a deluge all day today, whereas we really only had a prolonged shower around 1 o'clock.

ETA - just seen local WF, they're staying in!
 
Mine are in but only because it is forcast to tip it down tonight.It has rained everyday for yonks now and the horses have not gone out 24/7 as usual.Last year they were out at the end of march.My old Arab mare hates incessant rain so i want to do the right thing for her.
 
Ours are in but only because they are still in their winter routine! (in at night, out in the day). Our fields wouldn't be able to handle them charging about 24/7 with the ground being as soggy as it is. Horrible weather here too :(
 
Shetlands were waiting by the gate at 4pm and flew into their stables as soon as the gate was opened! It's peeing down here now, all the others are in but would be anyway, silly horses just don't do 24 hour turnout!
 
My warmblood is out rugged as she is having issues with stabling. My welsh A oldie is in as A) he is on a diet B) he hates getting wet and cold and C) my warmblood wants to play the whole time and he gets really fed up with her!
 
Bit worried now that I am a cruel and nasty owner... Our forecast is pretty good for tonight so I've turned out in a light rug! (He is a Welshie, and was sweating in his 200g today even with the showers). Tomorrow's forecast is even better so I was going to turn him out naked... :eek:

I hate this weather at the moment :mad: I feel that I'm always getting it wrong with his rugs :(:(
 
Mine are out, it's been dry here all day and no sign of rain at the moment!

Was half hoping we'd have a wet day so I'd have an excuse to hibernate, no such luck, have been outside all day doing various jobs!
 
My 2 TB's are out. I don't even have the option of stables at the moment so good rugs it is. I've just moved them onto a little paddock with tons of grass & 2 huge hedges to use for shelter. They will be fine :)
 
mine are in, its not raining tonight but they have trashed their field where it is so wet they were out 24/7 until 2 weeks ago when the rain started and it just turned their field into a swamp and with the spring grass turning them into idiots who gallop and slide to a stop because its fun im glad im keeping them in tomorrow haha :o
 
Ours are all out, including 3 tbs. Come to the conclusion that its May, they are waterproof and were not dragging 6 horses in unless they are stood at the gate wanting to come in.
 
I have one in and one out (with others!). Both are naked but its not raining down here and it was actually quite warm today (anything over 10 degrees is now deemed warm)
 
Left mine out tonight as weather forecast looked pretty good they are rugged and have tree's and hedges as shelter if it does decide to chuck it down, fingers crossed the forecast is fairly accurate. :)
 
mines in as hes on diy and yo hasnt said they can stya out yet - tbh im not bothered. Hes a cob so a night on soaked hay is just what he needs - when he can stay out he will be coming in through the day for that very reason :)
 
Mine are all in (even though they are hardy cobs) as the farmer seems to think the ground is too wet and they are all running round far too much 😳
 
Mines out, trudged up the fields in pouring rain - (which is a long way as its up a footpath!) and she was almost sweating in her no fill sheet! quite happy to be out which suits me :p.
