11 degrees and rug free too, yay! Turned my IDX out and he galloped around whilst all the TBs stood watching in their big rugs (I think he was showing off hehe). Hammie - I love the picture of your horse in the middle, it looks like you're lying down whilst cantering?!

I was in the middle of falling off in that picture - first time I rode him after buying him, too... Decided I couldn't leave Snowstorm in his warm rug and stopped off on the way to work to swap it for his rainsheet. I was tempted to leave him with no rug, it's probably warm enough, but the thought of turning up to ride tomorrow and finding a horse covered in mud swayed me - he just loves the stuff

Flynn hasn't had a rug on all winter - and he's getting clipped on Sunday - but it's part of his weight loss programme as much as anything else! He loses weight much faster when it rains I have to say!

OK, that's it, 11C and Snowstorm's out naked! But I know I will turn up tomorrow to find a muddy monster

I took Ories off when it first thawed for his weight loss programme. His clip has grown out enough that he is now rain proof so with any luck he can stay rug free for the rest of the winter. Skinny mini has a lighter rug on but the wind here is sharp and she drops weight faster than I can blink if she gets cold or wet
