Re: Horses Living Outside

["Tracey" <tracey@tbt.co.za>]

You are soooo lucky that yours can.  Over here we have such bad
thunderstorms in Summer that you daren't risk it at night (last I heard,
there were on average 400 horses killed per annum by lightning), and the
midges spread the dreaded AHS, which kills.


Now it's winter, and when I left for work at 6:30 am, it was four degrees
below 0C, so I guess mine are gonna have to live with being stabled from
4:30 pm to 8:30 am.  Ah, well, I keep the hay suppliers happy!

floor, Sheesh!")
