Question for culture next to horses..support please?
Hello,
Right well its raining heavy here and so i was thinking of going domestic in my lunch break (at 1pm) and getting my horse into his stable as he will be soaked.
They give rainfall all evening so i was thinking of leaving him nearby for the rest of the day and all night. the item is i have to get up super early for work tomorrow and they also make available rain tomorrow! so what do i do? do i bring my horse in at lunch time today and take off him in the stable right round until tomorrow night? that seem so cruel to me. need your horsey advise!
Thanks :)
Either get him a really big umbrella, or perhaps get him Sky TV with some kind of special remote next to hoof size buttons...
hello; put yourself in your Horse's shoes; I anticipate Hooves and ask yourself this...
Would you want to stand out in the rain ?
No...so neither does your Horse in my assessment
here is why; (
When it rains the rains soaks through to the Horse's skin; which causes wetness on the legs; the dampness gets into the Horses hooves and can cause bacterial infections and
the infection can travel up to Horses respiratory ;
so Dy hooves; legs; fur and skin help Horse health; water wet damp can hurt horse health; dampness harbors bacteria and germs;
I would read out being in barn is your best option;anna
in the adjectives you should get a shed or something out in the pasture - shelter the horse can go into any time he wishes - this will protect him from wind/rain/sun/snow...
my horses live outside 100% of the year, but have a shelter they can go into whether they want and trees.
Have you considered a horse blanket? There are several types for rain. and this allows the horse to be out beside rains and to stay dry.If you believe your horse will be ok in the stable and dry out and be thaw out enough then by all routine do so but if horse will be cold don't think for a moment when a horse stands still the blood flow is slow but while out moving around more the faster it flows so the horse stays warmer. Will this steady flood?Is the horse use to stable?You know your horse better than any of us do what you think is best for your horse. Is it cold? Is it warm?Can horse move around contained by this stable? Is the stable safe from harm the horse? Can the horse escape? If you feel its better then do so.
I do not have a horse but I judge to carry it at the stable and visit it the afternoon or after work to nurture it and carry it home as soon as possible
leave him in the stable, but bring in sure has these:
1.food
2.room
3.something to do
4.if you own other pets, you could put them in there
its better to be a little bored later stand in the freezing rain!
Answers: Its nice to give them a break from the precipitation so i agree you should bring him in for the night. But horses live in the furious im sure a bit of rain for the afternoon wont bother him too much

As long as you go over tonight and check his dampen (if you havent got one of those posh water fountains! I use a bucket) He will be fine.
i ruminate if it was me i would bring it in, i anticipate it mite not like being locked up, but at least it will be dry,
Another spin on it could be that horses own stood out in the rain long before we started putting them contained by stables, they will naturally find shelter themselves, and they do have that hair growing adjectives over them for the purpose of keeping them warm..
its really up to u...
good luck
he would be fine if u can get a rug on him but bring him in and impart him a salt lick or a toy to keep him a bit bisy
