My husband and I are going to be in Cologne for a Medical Business Trip this week and have a very limited time to sightseeMy husband is in a wheelchair thus limiting the time even more and the distance we could go on footWe will have a few hours here and there for two dayONLY two days so I'm seeking some recommended places to seeThis will help me plan our itinerary around the buisness endeaverThanks!
I find my horses are coldest in the fall when the temps are in the 30's and it is rainingWhen it drops to -20F or more, they tend to move to keep warmI increase their hay and check them frequently, but they are fine without blanketsHere is what I just said to another person with a very similar questionAs long as they have access to hay, water, and shelter from the elements, they should be fineI live in northern MN and I never blanket my horsesThey have a run in shed and are good all winterThe only exception I make is if one gets pushed out of the shed and is shiveringI will bring her into the barn, blanket her while I feed her hay and grain, then once she stops shivering, remove the blanket and let her sleep inside so she has a chance to dry offLike I said, I only use a blanket briefly to warm my mare up, then take it offI never leave blankets on a horse overnightHope that helpsSource(s): hay, water, run in shed for over 20yrs in northern MN.
Well you should probably visit the Dom (Cathedral)It is the most visited tourist thing in Germany, believe it or not.The upper Dom plaza is on street level, but I don't know if they will let up up there in the pedestrian zoneGermany is not as OSHA and handicapped oriented as the USAsk a cab driver how close he can get youI know there are a lot of steps between the Dom and the main train station.I don't recall any special elevatorsOK just thought of this.better idea would be a tourist bureau bus tour of the city-they have them of different lengths.hope this helps.
My horses have been happily outside without blankets at -40FNote the minus sign - that's 40 below 0FThey do not get cold if they are healthy, well fed, and have been allowed to grow their location appropriate coatIf you start blanketing, you'll have to keep doing itThey won't grow an adequate coatThey're warmer without the blanketTheir hair poufs up to trap air against their skin, which in turn traps their own heat against themPut a heavy blanket on them, and that air goes awayThe blanket can never do the job their own coat doesFurther, when you blanket they may get TOO warmWith their natural coats, they flatten their hair down so it doesn't trap as much air and heat, and they can cool themselves off as much as they wantThis is not cruel, this is how nature intends itThey're happier unblanketedThey feel warm and contentJust because we don't have natural fur coats and don't understand what it is to be outdoors and toasty warm doesn't mean we should afflict them with blankets.
Depends on where you're from or what temp your horse is used toIf you get your horse from Florida and trailer him/her up to Wisconsin, than your horse will get colder easierIf this is the deal, than put a blanket on him/her when it's under 20 degreesOther than that, if it's under 0-10 degrees during the day, than I'd put one on and if it gets below 0 at night than definitely! Hope this helps!
The wild horses in Montana and Wyoming don't blanket themselves, so I am pretty sure that you don't have to blanket your horse at any certain temperatureThe blankets are mostly for clipped horses, but if it makes you feel better, blanket them at whatever temperature you think is too cold for them.
