Ginny would chose to stand out in the pouring rain/ice storm all day long even with her nice cozy stall to stay in. She is 315 days, the thing I am worried about is how slippery it its outside and I don't want her hurting herself. When it switches over to snow I could send her out. What would you guys do?
 
I would not take the risk of her slipping, also if she is that far along I would be keeping her in a stall most of the time anyway. My mares average gestation was 323 days. Hope your storm is short!
 
I would leave her in ...you don't need to take any chances with her ...things are probably a little awkward for her being heavy in foal in good weather

I would not chance anything slippery
 
She's in...she is in at dusk every day turned loose in the morning. When things progress further along she will be in there the majority of the day unless we are out there with her. She walks with us every night anyway.
