Others for me..
Bedding is half bed of shavings on rubber mattting
One horse has full clip excpet for legs, one has chaser, two are not clipped
Riding in winter is schooling and dressage,a bit of hacking
They keep fit by being very active in the feild each day and weekends workouts.
Best winter product is Winter Pimms by the fire, after evening stables

Phew!
OK - I ride/loan a horse. She's in at night. On shavings and haylege in a haynet. Hay makes her cough.
She gets a variety of feeds and a veteran supplement.
I ride once/twice a week. I live in London Mon-Fri and visit her at weekends so don't muck out.
In the winter I hack, jump and school.
I try to compete but so far this winter I haven't been able to because of icy roads, snow, fog and high winds!! Have been thwarted on the last 3 attemps to get anywhere. It's a bloody nightmare.
I don't have transport but I can hire a shuttle or get a lift off of a friend
I go to group lessons approx every fortnight.
April is only ridden once/twice a week so just has a neck and belly clip.
I HATE THE WINTER!!!

I own one horse.
He's turned out during the day and is stabled at night.
I use rubber matting with woodshavings.
Hay.
Cooked Mix and Beet Pulp
3-6 times a week during the winter.
I compete about once or twice a month.
Have my own yard (I'm the only person there).
Well it's Spring now and the days are getting longer, woo hoo!
Yes, I have my own horsebox so I can go anywhere I want whenever I want to.
A mixture of hunting, schooling and hacking.
Fortunately no.
Fairly muddy.
No.
In a haynet.
In an Automatic Drinker.
Rugs with neck covers, as I own a grey it's fantastic to have a mud free horse!
I only buy Your Horse and Horse & Hound regularly so can't really compare to other magazines.
I hunt and compete as often as I can.
No, he's not clipped.

Others for me.
Keeping fit: mainly schooling & jumping but we do hack if we've had a nice sunny spell to dry the fields out enough to hack on.
Ailments : sometimes suffer with mud fever & a touch of thrush, but this year touch wood we've been ok.
I suppose the only other is the hay one, at which I ticked on the floor....but he does have a small haynet when he's in, with hay on the floor as well!
Um and he stays out when the weather is nice but is in at night when it gets grotty, and when he is in is fed a small feed of quiet mix, graze-on and some carrot/apple!

LOL, this was tricky as I've got 5. They're all out 24/7 unless we're doing something and only 2 are getting hard feed. They don't get any hay unless it's very frosty or snowy as the grass is enough for them.

I own one horse.
He is stabled in the winter with a couple of hours out a day in an all weather surface pen.
I ride about 6 times a week.
I use woodchips and feed hay, on the floor.
He is fed dengie hi fi and spillers fibre cubes.
I compete about once a month and do mainly hacking.
He has water in a bucket.
My fave winter product is my pair of derby house thermal boots.
I actually don't mind the winter
