No tractor. Just peel off layers and feed morning and night.
Pen is for light workout. Just rode in it.

Barn is just storage. Horses are never in it.

They have shelters to go in. But they are outside 24/7 year round. Good hay and lots of it. They don't call them hayburners for nothing.

See that steel shelter near the barn? They have a couple of those on the property. But they don't use them very often.

Weather here is not nearly as extreme as your's but the only time Ruby used her shed was during heavy rainfall, didn't bother her to have several inches of snow on her back.

Goat are a different story, a slight drizzle and they head for their shelter. Also they hate to get their feet muddy, when they were sharing the paddock with Ruby or the neighbor's cows they would walk around the edges close to the fence to avoid the deeper mud.
