[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 1668594, member: 2653"] I had an Arabian mare here, the first born on the farm; she's in her late teens, and given me many beautiful foals. One a reserve champion in the Houston (Spindeltop) Arabian show. The first day she struggled with the freezing rain. Then it hit me! Duh, she WAS a showhorse many moons ago. Went up to my attic and found her heavy blanket and leggings, all in matching purple, lol. After I put that on her, she settled down and made it through the ice storm a week ago with flying colors. Beating myself up for taking that long to remember. I should have had it on her before the cold weather hit..... I've seen people strap saddle blankets to horses to help them a little, but the best method is shelter from the north wind, shelter from overhead to escape the precipitation, plenty of hay, and sweet feed to make them feel a little better. I did brush the ice off of her after the first day. It was bad (for Louisiana) here. [/QUOTE]
