Re[2]: Winter management

["Jennifer Kendall" <jennifer_kendall@kentrox.com>]

     I live in the Willamette Valley in Oregon.  It rains alot here, 
     and it does get cold.  I leave my horses out whenever possible.  
     I blanket them in the barn, then I use a canvas or insulated 
     nylon blanket to turn them out...after all...fresh air is the 
     best medicine and if your horses are well taken care of with 
     shelter, it won't hurt them to be outside.  Sounds like your 
     doing fine!

I have been very curious about something for a long time. I now have the means 
to satisfy that curiousity......you. I have often wondered how folks in the 
northern parts of the US and in Canada deal with their horses in the winter. I 
have very mild winters here in NC and leave all mine outside all the time. The 
few that I help out have shown sensitivity to the cold (use waterproof 
blankets, left outside) or are new moms with babies (they stay inside during 
bad weather). Wanted to know how others deal with this.
