My owners gave me a very nice horse shelter, but I'm too stubborn to use it! I would rather put make up on. This is almost as good as a mud pack!I could use the horse shelter, I guess, if I have to.... but then would I still be a rough tough Alberta hoss?
Maybe that's pride showing up..
Note from owner: Nope, that's stupidity!
What do you think? Is this my better side?or this?
| Wind Chill |
| A measure of the cooling effect of wind. Wind increases the rate at which a body loses heat, so the air on a windy day feels cooler than the temperature indicated by a thermometer. This heat loss can be calculated for various combinations of wind speed and air temperature and then converted to a wind chill equivalent temperature (or wind chill factor). |
The formulas used to calculate the wind chill index are:
Old Wind Chill Index (Pre-November 2001) =
91.4 - (0.474677 - 0.020425 * V + 0.303107 * sqrt(V)) * (91.4 - T)
New Wind Chill Index =
35.74 + 0.6215T - 35.75(V0.16) + 0.4275T(V0.16)
where:
V = wind speed (mph)
T = temperature (F)

Present situation:
Temp -20F
Wind speed 16 mph
Old wcf -60.14 degrees F
New wcf -45.72 degrees F
Brrrrrr!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYour horsie is just a tough Canadian for sure! Yikes! Mine would be hiding in the barn and shivering!
Yowza! That's Cold!
ReplyDeleteIf you stuck some antlers and a big red rubber nose on your horse he would just like Rudolf. :-)
Hahaha!! When we moved to our farm my husband and I built a beautiful shelter for the horses but they never used it, even when it was -40 degrees. The only time they will venture towards it is when it is +40 but even then they prefer the trees.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they ever get brain freeze.
Stay warm!!
Thanks for sharing,

ReplyDeleteUnbelievable!
My horses used to do the same thing. Stand out in the sleet and rain rather than use their shed.
My quarter-horse gave himself pneumonia one year - that was no fun!
But brr, you'd think your horse would feel cold!
Cold1!! Yet he seems to have a good coat on for the winter. It is cold there..I thought it was bad here, but cold is a lot like riches, it is relative.
ReplyDeleteIt's like his winter stole! He makes me cold, just to look at him.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! I guess if the snow on his head isn't melting, he must have some awesome insulation. Do ya think he'd daydreaming about a spring meadow? I know I am!
