I finally broke down and started to wear gloves! Duke is still naked and doing just fine. He wouldn't let me blanket him if his life depended on it though. He is fat and fluffy and healthier than any horse I have ever met. He has also never spent a minute of his life in a stall. I've really learned a lot about horse keeping from him. He is proof that less is more and that he is fully prepared to handle all weather. Pistol on the other hand is blanketed because I've had trouble keeping weight on him and I don't want him spending extra energy trying to stay warm. I am sure though it is mostly for my piece of mind and he would probably be just fine naked!
I grew up in Northern Manitoba so I am a pretty tough girl! My friend from Australia was telling me about how hot it is there...and I'll take the cold weather anyday!
I feel sorry for you ......but am also feeling sorry for my sister as she lives in Australia up thr Hunter valley and is in 45 C. Don't know which is worse..... Your temps or hers
I have a good friend in Australia and she told me how hot it is. I honestly feel worse for people in 45C degree temps because when it's cold you can always put more layers on until you are warm. when you are hot you can only take off so many layers before you make everyone uncomfortable!
