any one rugging up at night?
I can't believe I am putting light weight rugs on my 2 boys at nights now ( they have had them on during the day too!) and have put a light/medium weight ones on when it has been a bit colder! Even I have had to put the autumn quilt on our bed now at home lol....... oh well maybe we might get a warm September

Re: any one rugging up at night?

Re: any one rugging up at night?
I have been rugging at night with a fleece and putting a turnout on when we have had that bad wet weather! It is getting so cold and my mare is dropping weight already due to the cr*p amount of grass there is!!
The Speedibeet is coming out this weekend!! Dreading the winter now

Re: any one rugging up at night?
I have been rugging up in the day on occasion as the wind and rain has been the pits. All mine in at night all year round......sooooo spoilt!

Re: any one rugging up at night?
Sadly, yes
 - only 1 of them though!I didnt want to rug up till abit later in the year but turning up in the mornings to riley stood at the gate shivering made me feel like a bad mum! Hes only got a lightweight on and when its been really cold has had one of those waffle rugs on underneith. The cob mare and foal however dont seem bothered by the change in the weather, thier still super plump and havnt been cold at all in the mornings.

Re: any one rugging up at night?
Really wish mine was like that!! I am trying my hardest to plump her up for winter as she has already dropped the weight and may I ad she is costing me an absolute fortune!
Speedy beat kept it on last winter so I am getting that out again this weekend so she has something extra to build her up! She is on sooo much feed and eating sooo much hay at the minute though, cant understand why she is not as fat as she should be

Re: any one rugging up at night?
Im quite lucky in the respect my cob mare lives off fresh air! Last winter when she was in foal and we had all that snow she only had a lightweight on and had one feed each day (purely for foals benefit)
I can see my ISH going to same was as yours though, he is already dropping weight and i think after this weekend ill have to start bringing him in at night. Hes currently eating like...well, a horse! Hes only in light work and hes on as much feed as the blooming horses that are jumping round burghley!!
