[Not from Roy]

Well...they are wearing water proof turn out sheets, because the last three nights it's dropped below freezing AND been wet.

I can add stable sheets under the t/o sheets, I can swap out sheets for heavy t/o rugs, I can add stable rugs under t/o rugs, I have more whitneys than you can shake a stick at... or I can lock them up.

I like to leave them out. I will let them cope with cold, I will let them cope with wet, I just won't let them cope with cold AND wet at the same time, given that they are wearing wussy-boy Virginia hair, and that Petey is quite elderly.

My horses have a lot of clothes. They've all been inherited from my sister's crazy show people. (The horses, and the clothes. In fact, their wardrobes are probably more expensive than mine...hahhahahaha...they are even monogramed.)

I'm perfectly happy so far, but I'm not mucking in three feet of snow
yet, so I'll get back to you. I put blankets on the horses for the
first time two nights ago, when the temps dropped below freezing.

Yikes Moon. If you put blankets on the horses now, what do you do when
it's -20 degrees? My ewes bred out of season and are dropping lambs now.
So far all are healthy and scampering around.
