Winter Suppertime

I do still love tucking up my neds for the night. I know, it's a bit sad and anthropomorphic. We've been having very cold clear weather - down to -90C last night, for example. Lutine's winter coat is so fine and silky, it's really not up to very cold temperatures and, added to that, I want to try and keep her muscles and joints warm and supple so that there's less of a risk of her injuring herself. So I've got her high neck rug out of the barn and she's had a feed, rug and lots of hay all night. Nothing nicer than seeing your contented horses munching away, snug and warm for the night.
