Heck, that ain't cold!  That's only about 25 F, which we get on spring (and 
sometimes even summer!) nights here routinely.  Ours are out full-time even 
in sub-zero Fahrenheit, but with free feed hay and juniper wind breaks, and 
they thrive on it.  I'd be far more inclined to suggest being in for the 
reasons you named in the summer...
