Re: Horses' living outside

Sandy wrote "Speaking of horses living outside..Several years ago my horses
spent two
days outside in 60 below zero wind chill...cold enough to close down the
entire state of montana....as we'd just moved to this particular spot we
hadn't had time to build any kind of barn or shelter...not even a frost bit
ear in the bunch! "

And Sandy lives in the banana belt of montana ! That same time frame we had
50 below  here for a week regular temps with no wind chill figured in . The
herd stayed in the willow's in the creek bottom and we kept good hay in
front of them constantly , no problem's .
