So today was rainy and cold, high 30's. I kept Misty and Josie in until mid morning and let them out while I cleaned their stall and barn. After I cleaned I put plenty of hay in their hay rack in their stall and left their stall door opened all day. They were in and out all day munching on their hay but tonight when I went to bring them in to feed them they were all wet. Should I have kept them in with the stall door closed? I worry when it is cold and rainy and they get so wet. I just got them blankets and I can get Josie's on no problem ( She is just so tiny) but Misty is another story. Misty is afraid of it so I have been trying to get her used to it the past week, letting her smell it and rubbing it on her neck etc..... any suggestions?? I did feel both their chests, under front legs, they did feel nice and warm.
Maybe I am just an old worry wart, but I hate to see them so wet in the cold weather. They both have very,very thick woollies and I would not blanket them daily only on wet/cold days but I need to get Misty's blanket on her!!!! Anyway I would like to hear if your horses are out in the weather. What you do on cold/wet days?? And how to get a yearling used to her blanket??
