Re: [RC] Horses Outside/Weather - Mike & Kathy Kelly

I agree!  And they are happier and healthier for it.  I think its abusive to keep a horse locked in a stall all the time!

HOLE.  "
 
My horses are also left outside 24/7 with no roof over their heads and I don't feel that is neglect . As I posted a few days ago , our temps here were hitting up to 40 below with no wind chill factor , it did not faze our herd of 15 that has 4 older retired dude/pack horses in it between the ages of 25 to 30 . And in the spring our place like most others becomes a mudhole until things dry out . I love my horses but they are not house pets . They can handle it , let them live like horses and not something that will melt if they get alittle wet .
