You can if you want, provided it is warm enough and sunny outside. Horses are thermoneutral down to about 32 degrees F, meaning they don't need to expend energy to stay warm until the air temperature is 32 F or less. However, being soaked through from a bath or a rainstorm raises the threshold significantly; being in the wind also raises the threshold.

If it is above 80 F, you are probably fine. If there is a light breeze (10 mph or less) and above 70 F, you are probably fine. Any lower than 70 F and I would suggest squeegeeing the water off your horse and getting him/her "towel dry" prior to letting him dry out the rest of the way in a pasture. Anything less than 50 F and I would let him dry completely in a sheltered area - barn, stable, lean-to, anything out of the wind and any rain.
