I would say the horse is fine if she is healthy, strong and not shivering. In Tennessee there isn't a lot of cold weather that concerns me, but whenever I am afraid they might get chilly I give them lots of extra hay to eat which keeps them warm in chilly, wet and windy weather. If it would put your mind at ease put her up in the shelter. >>><<< Meredith Sessoms >>><<< Soddy-Daisy. Tennessee. USA >>><<< Dorina & NFR Aagot
