We get no snow. The full sized horses are blanketed at under 45 degrees with a sheet or medium blanket. We rarely ever use heavy blankets, except for with our 49 and 28 year old mares. Both of them wear a sheet at under 55 degrees, due to low body fat. So really, you just need to look at all of the variables.
A horse will not die because it wasnât wearing a blanket, but in order to survive cold and wet and wind, it will burn calories and if there isnât enough food around to replace those calories, the horse eventually will perish. Horses do grow a luxurious winter coat that can be several inches long.The hairs will stand up as the temperature drops so that cold air is kept farther away from the horseâs skin. When the temperature rises, the hairs flatten down allowing heat to dissipate. horse will not die because it wasnât wearing a blanket, but in order to survive cold and wet and wind, it will burn calories and if there isnât enough food around to replace those calories, the horse eventually will perish.
