Please Reply to: Beth caglehead10@xxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

Seems theres no real answer. just what you are most comfortable with .
Just this past spring, A friends Mini was struck by lightening.Her Horses 
always stayed outside and all have run-ins for cover.  She was a firm beleiever 
that they should be out in " whatever " weather . Her pastures are also 
semi-wooded.
She came Home late to find Her Mini on the ground ,next to the run-in, stiff as 
a board and his legs sticking up in the air .  After giving Him a Nudge, He 
moved , He was still alive ! After many weeks  of recovering, He is now back to 
normal. She was very lucky. As best She can figure, He  must of been standing 
next to, or In  His run-in  as There is a Big Burn Streak across the run-in 
Shed.   Now, She brings her horses inside during  bad weather, she just feels a 
little better do that even tho they still may be safer out .  whatever makes 
you sleep better  at night !
