They will grow longer furry haircoats and it really shouldn't be a problem to keep them outside even in the winter and you can bring them in if the weathr gets really extra bad.
Is that the same with donkeys too? Yeah, that horse shed thing I said we are getting is a lean to. hehe I forgot the name.

Anyone know how much grain I should be feeding her daily right now? We feed her oats and corn mixed. I give her a little less then half a bucket (normal horse feeding bucket) of grain a day. Jack gets a couple hand fulls as a treat.

Thanks again!
