My pony and minis are hardier but I still prefer to keep them in the barn during really cold, windy, or icy days. I havnt blanketed anyone in several years but do provide extra hay and add hot water to the buckets to encourage them to drink. Good article, though. I know I for one have lost many a nights sleep worrying about what to do for them when the weather gets bad but when I put them in the barn, I can litteraly feel the stress melt away.

I don’t have any horses yet, but when I do they and my family and myself will have to content with very cold temperatures during the winter months. This information is very helpful in that I will be less tempted to fuss over my future equine friends as much. Thankyou for the educational information, very helpful!

Brilliant and logical. I wish I could give a copy of this article to everyone who needlessly frets and overblankets during the winter!
