Let me introduce you to the Jbird. He doesn't do cold. He turns down
right cranky if it's cold and wet. He's been know to take out a chunk
of flesh if someone forgets to put his blanket on and it turns cold. At
home if it going below 40 - he has a turn out rug on. Over the
miserable weather we had over Christmas one night he had a blanket with
a rain sheet on top. He has spend the night after a ride (in FL) with
two blankets
on.
When we drove to Idaho from early June through mid June - he dame near
froze a couple of times. One was when he got snowed on in Boseman, MT
(about 15 June). He had a blanket on every night till about the first
of July in Northern, ID.
Our other horses don't seem to mind the cold - some like it better than
others, but the Jbird is a horse of a different color. He was born in
FL, raised in FL and has a FL attitude about cold weather and as he
says, "I don't do
cold."
Truman

When out on good pasture, the hroses will get into a place with less rain

Nope, mine don't go under shelter, they don't go under the trees, they don't
go where the wind is less. Silly boys just keep eating, and turn their tails
to the wind, and get soaked.
