So I finally gave in and put a lightweight (no fill) on Jess yesterday, she doesn't really grow much of a winter coat, she is still slick and shiny and Sunday night was cold enough for the rain water in my wheelbarrow to have a few mm of ice on it and she had her coat puffed up and the forecast was for a lot of rain and an even colder night, and there had been a squabble and someone had taken out 2 mains electric fences (she gets grumpy when she's cold or hungry )
So this morning I checked the weather, when I went out to do the horses before work it was frozen and 0c but today is going to get up to about 16c but is also meant to rain which should keep tonight's temps up to 8c. I would normally whip the rug off again if its going to be in double figures in the day, but it was biting cold and thick fog this morning so I didn't want to leave her cold until it did warm up, so I've left it on for now with the option of calling a friend to whip it off later this morning if it does warm up as much as they say it will.
Do you leave rugs once they are on or are you a day and night changer like me? once the day and night temps stabilize I normally leave them as they are but autumn I always struggle with.
