Last night it did drop down to minus 8. The horses were happily playing in the snow so they weren't bothered by it. None of the blankets were damaged or had any straps hanging so that was good. Right now it's still minus 1, so I'll let them have their breakfast before unblanketing them. I also think it’s good for the horses legs to be in the snow! Last night it did drop down to minus 8.

Eeeek, I feel like I've accidentally moved to Alaska! Isn't it remarkable how a string around the neck counts as "caught" to a horse? My gelding would N-O-T stand to be wormed unless you had "caught" him with a hay string. Then he was totally fine. :) You’re so blase about all this snow!

We have had the blankets on our guys since yesterday afternoon... One thing that i like about the snow and having their legs in it... It's like cryotherapy or intense ice boots :) Lol, or maybe thats just me trying to find a reason to like the snow here now :D Its a similar situation over here… We have had the blankets on our guys since yesterday afternoon… One thing that i like about the snow and having their legs in it… It’s like cryotherapy or intense ice boots :) Lol, or maybe thats just me trying to find a reason to like the snow here now :D
