SO and I have pretty similar views on horse care -- we agree most of the time. BUT, I lean towards more pampering than he does. Example: my horses always had blankets -he thinks they're a bad idea for a number of reasons. I prefer shavings over straw -- it's prettier and cleaner.
Not major stuff -- just different styles growing up.
As it's getting colder here, I would have brought the horses in at night already. He thinks they're fine. Since he lives there and does pretty much all the work, he gets the final say. My new mare is in foal, so I really would have preferred she be in last night. I pretty much want to baby her.
His opinion: it's not going to freeze, the weather is still pretty mild, she came from NY which is much colder, she'll be just fine. OK. 
Fine. 
SO stayed at my house last night. When he pulled up to the barn this morning, my mare was standing in front of the barn.
Apparently, at some point during the night she pushed open a gate (somebody goofed up and didn't secure it well enough) and let herself into HER stall. She didn't go in anyone else's! She ate her hay, laid down for awhile and then went back outside and just waited for him to come home. She's only been here less than week and the pasture she was in is one of the furthest away -- she's good.
She's so smart. She knew her Mom would have wanted her inside last night.
