It is possible to play with this method with temperature over 6°C (putting foal to bed in pasture) => but you will have to feed him more.
Be careful with over weight !
You might have to put your foal on a diet after the end of games period.
(thanx to nagoya for this coment)
Also, When temperatures are less than 6°C/ 50°F, you will lose play time duration...
It's possible playing with the foal the same numbers of hours until 3°C. This is the adapted method for this situation:
Thanks to nagoya whose poon's had been used like cobayes to realize this method.
Of course, the foal sleeps in the pasture!!
