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@stephen01king@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglish6•3 months agoAs someone who’s never dealt with snow, what temperature is considered warm enough for Sandy to play outside?
minus-square@LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilink5•3 months agoIt was 30F outdoors today. The barn was about 35F.
minus-square@stephen01king@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglish4•3 months agoSo it’s around freezing temp? That’s lower than I expected.
minus-square@LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilink6•3 months 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.
