Why does a winter jacket keep you warmer than a thick sweater?
A winter jacket has several layers, unlike a sweater. Body heat is trapped within the layers, which keeps you warm more than the fabric itself. It's similar to wearing a wetsuit or drysuit while scuba-diving, or having multiple blankets on a bed.

Do horses wear a blanket in winter?
Blanketing depends on the lifestyle of the horse. Some never wear a blanket in their entire outdoor lives, others have dozens for specific purposes. Horses who are allowed to grow their winter coats naturally rarely need blankets. The exception being if they are wet enough to lose the loft in their natural coats, and it's cold, and very windy. They will shiver to keep warm, though, and rarely suffer from the cold. People blanket horses sometimes when PEOPLE get cold! In a stable situation, horses are often clipped (shaving off most of their body hair) to allow them to sweat during exercise and consequently dry more quickly. These horses wear blankets to compensate for the missing hair, and also to keep them clean and comfortable in their stalls. They will have different sorts of blankets, too, from thin sheets (think underwear) to heavy weatherproof turnout blankets (think parkas).
Why is a horses coat so thin?
