I know this is a daft question, but why would you use a LW rug? I thought that by flattening the hair you made their natural coat less effective against loosing heat? Is it just to keep them dry? Before anyone jumps on me, I am interested because I am wondering whether to winter my yearling & 2yo out unless it gets really wet or just to use rugs. If I go the rug route would it be best to have a couple of MW & HW's. I was told it was better not to rug as their coats are designed to insulate them, just make sure they have enough fuel inside. We dont have field shelters but we do have some high hedges.
