So i have just baked this cake and i was wondering weather to wrap it in alaminium foil or glad wrap overnightAlso, should i leave it in the pan or take it out when i wrap itAnd i do not have a tupperware container big enough to hold this cake, otherwise i would have used that.
You definitely need to blanket her if she is outside 24/7 especially because she is thinA wet day in the 30s is much more uncomfortable for a horse than a dry day below freezingNormally a dry coat fluffs up and trap body heat close to the skin ( which is why your horse will feel cold to the touch and why you will see unmelted snow on their backs) a wet hair coat conducts heat away from the horse many times faster than a dry hair coatIn addition, wet hair tends to become plastered close to the horse's body, nullifying the air insulation potential of a fuzzy, erect winter To keep your horse warm and dry you need a waterproof turnout blanket if you just have a stable blanket that would get wet and make your horse colderI would suggest a medium weight turnout blanket and a our hasp even a heavyweight for extremely cold daysYou need to monitor your horse to see if she is still cold and needs a thicker blanket or if she is getting too hotTo dry her off use a couple wool or polar fleece coolers to keep away the chill while she drys is she is super wet you can towel dry her before putting on a cooler
If your horse is calm, you can cover her regular blanket with a tarpIf you're willing to cut it up, you can cut the tarp into a blanket-sized pieceHowever, don't use it as a sole layer - your horses skin and fur will be rubbed off and- if kept there long enough - will eventually lose feeling in the areas that are rubbed(tight and ill-fitting blankets will do that!) Also, if you have any spare wool blankets around your house and there's a dry place for your horse to be tied, you could throw that on and let her dry then you could turn her out in the wool blanketWool can still keep you warm when wet If that can't be done, throw straw or hay over your horse, cover with the blanket and tarp(blanket needs to be waterproof for this to work), and the straw should be able to take in the moisture and help your horse dry under the blanketThat is called thatching Another thing you can do for a tolerant or calm horse -you could also dry/warm her up by using your blow-dryer! If you can take her to your garage and have her stand in there while you dry her, that'd be another place she can dry off! (Idk how your property is set up, but if you can get her there and there isn't a lot of stuff lying around that could potentially harm, this could work!)Keep out some extra hay to eat, as the chewing and digesting will help keep her warm.
NO, she needs to be perfectly dry before you put a rug on herA cold wet coat with a rug on top will make it worse and she may get a chill followed by diarhea, Buy a fleece and put her in a barn with a good straw bedYou can also put straw under the fleece to help dry her offWHEN she is dry, put at least two good turnout rugs on her, including one with a neck pieceFeeding lots of grain will not help fatten her upShe may need sugar beat, barley rings, chaff and plenty of good quality hayMake sure she has some shelter in her field, either a long thick hedge or a three sided portable stable with somewhere dry and firm for her feeds and water (like concrete) A third rug may be necessary if the top one gets wet through to the liningDon't let her get cold like you say she is shiveringOnly once in 62 years have I seen a horse shiver with the cold and wet.
Aluminium foil would be best if you don't have a boxIt'll keep the cake fresh without the sticky and humid effect that glad wrap tends to have on pastries and spongeYou can leave it in the pan or take it outIt won't make any difference really, but the pan'll be a lot easier to clean now than in a few days :D
