She didn’t stay out for long because she’s old, but she enjoyed trotting in the snow and looking around at everything.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish6•1 month agoAs someone who’s never dealt with snow, what temperature is considered warm enough for Sandy to play outside?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish4•1 month agoSo it’s around freezing temp? That’s lower than I expected.
minus-square@LaunchesKayaksOPlink6•1 month agoYeah. Horses can tolerate pretty cold temps, especially if they have blankets on. I don’t do anything with the horses below that, though. Some people work with horses at temps as low as 25F, but that’stoo cold for that imo.

It was 30F outdoors today. The barn was about 35F.
