We had our first snowfall last week and it was a horrifying sight. Molly doesn't care, she is an Alpen Frau. She continues to debark and defoliate whenever it suits her.

Like yourself, we feel there is far too much flotsam and jetsam and so forth that could become airborne and lethal in an instant. Besides which, we donkeys do not care for rain at all. So, a strong yes vote for inside shelter in the storm.ponymaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02996833096239732307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7769158267288053176.post-51525712315451661622010-10-29T13:20:18.914-07:002010-10-29T13:20:18.914-07:00WOW Sheaffer - you did have some wild weather.

We too had tornadic activity going on - thankfully not right in our backyard! <br /><br />There was an avid discussion on the local horse forum about whether to put horses (and donkeys) out during such weather or keep them in. <br /><br />What is your take on that? <br /><br />My vet says if the barn is secure and we are home to monitor things, inside is better, as he does far more stitching up of wounds causing by flying debris in such weather than treating injuries sustained by a barn falling down on horses. <br /><br />Other folks said the horses' instincts serve them best outside where they can find their own safety/shelter. <br /><br />I believe that, but otoh, how many horses (now or ever) have truly had to learn to dodge metal roofs and such? <br /><br />Usually when the wind is bad, mine are in, and I am out there with them.billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187141867284800597noreply@blogger.com
