“Results of a multi-year study by Colorado State University, one of the top equine veterinary schools in the country:
Blanketing horses is one of the worst things you can do in the winter. Horses have the ability to lift and lower their coats… it's like exchanging different blankets all day and night.
…It turns out that blanketing is done more for pleasing the human...The horse blanket industry has done a great job of making us think that their product is a necessary part of good horse keeping -- when it is actually very seldom needed.”
A horse keeps warm on the inside by eating hay. More grain and less hay can actually make them cold. Throw them an extra flake on those cold nights!!
