I'm rugging now. Not heavily though.
One's in a cotton and polar fleece over night and the other is in a light canvas

Mine always have a cotton on, but I have been rugging mine in lite's over night for about a month now. Some of the warmer nights just a polar fleece.

My boy was always in his fly sheet, but since that now needs mending, he's swapped to a cotton.

Hon is nude .. she's pretty fluffy already.

Thanks guys! It's really hard to decide what to do, I still have the fan on at night in the house. Think I'll start putting his polar fleece on top of his cotton at night seeing as he seems like he's abit cold in the mornings. He's an arabian riding pony so really fluffs up in winter.

Mine's either naken or just in a very light cotton mesh rug. Too hot for anything else.
