You should do a variation of both.
In the stall...
If your horse is in it's stall for a while, give it something to do; give it a flake of hay or put a salt/mineral-lick in there, or maybe a horse toy. At our barn, in the summer, we have fans in the stalls which we leave on. They seem to enjoy that.
In the field...
If your horse is out in the field, most people keep light blankets on them. Quite a long explanation for this;
When it gets cold out, the horse's body automatically begins to form a winter coat. When they shed this coat in the spring, there are smooth, short fine hairs underneith. For people who show alot, they keep the blanket on so that their body stays a warm temperature and doesn't for the winter coat. Showers do this all year round! It's a brilliant trick used for years.

∙ 14y agoYes, a horse can be kept in a field. If the horse is living in the field it does need some sort of shelter. Most people prefer to put up a run-in shed, a type of building with open sides, so that the horse has some place to go in case of wind or storm.

∙ 14y agoIt depends on the horse. When I am riding my horse and will be riding him for the next couple days, I keep him in a barn (but he has access to outside.) When I won't be riding him for a couple days, I put him in the pasture because there is more grass.
