[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.)
