hi we have made a nice new outdoor enclosure with a large indoor bit at the back for shelter if it rains as i always had to bring them in if i was going out and there was a chance of rain as i know horsefields cant stand damp conditions.this morn it started to drizzle then rain but they didnt shelter they just sat there getting soaked.is that ok should i just leave them to it and let them get wet.silly buggers.

Its the cold and damp horsfields cant stand. Rain when its warm is not such a problem. It
might be if it rained oontinually, but not the odd shower.

phew thanks I was just about to ask this question

I onlt got mine on sunday but today with the weather he was going a bit mad on his table inside

he got himslef stuck about 5 times between the walls of his table and his shelter
so I stuck him outside and left him to it in the rain and he was happy as a pig in sh*t

and then I started worring about him

I think hes tried already
I put him outside in his table yesterday while oh was building the outside encloser and I put mesh over the top so the dog couldnt get by him
I wondered off to see to the kids and came back to him hanging upsidedown on the mesh

I think my oh is afraid of him he calls me everytime he does something silly to put him right
