are anyone elses horses still out 24/7 or am I the only cruel one:-0

I was forced by yard to have to bring my horse in at a night about a month ago.He had been the only one out for over a month then.

Can't believe how mild it has been, 

Yes it has been ..

but my yard is very much a cant wait to clip and rug up. In fact one poor horse well over a month ago when it was still very very mild at night was being rugged up in a thick deep stable rug which covered him right up to his ears. I wonder what he will wear if we get the winter predicted.

As for mine, Flynn is a ID through and through and last winter he was only rugged around late November in the thin mac type to keep the cold wet off and only when we had the very cold snap over Xmas did he has his slightly heavier rug on, Soon though that came off and he went back to thin one.

He isnt rugged at all yet, and I will hold off as long as possible as he needs to keep weight off not snuggle inside his fat!.

But then to many I am considered mean and yes he gets muddy but I just clear away what is under saddle area an bridle bits and continue riding. Most in my yard would never consider riding unless perfectly turned out.

I am more laid back then that.

You sound more like me.. what types are yours?

I am also intrigued by the stables you mention.
