Nothing happens to the horse. Who cares about covering your horse. All your doing is making your horse a woose.
No harm will come to a cold wet horse to give it a mash with part grain and HOT water. In fact it would probably appreciate that. Also soaked warm water hay cubes with a little sweet feed. It also needs to be blanketed till its dry and stops shivering.
You would put a blanket on a horse in the winter to save him from getting a cold or even dieing. However, if you do not clip your horse, it is better to leave him unblanketed. To tell if your horse is cold enough to blanket him, touch his ears. If the are cold, he is most likely cold. If they are not, he is fine as is. Also look for abnormal behavior. If he is standing listlessly with his head down, something is wrong, and it may be that he is cold.
not if its hot, or not if they just worked
Nothing really, hot shoeing is the old method. Its easier to cold shoe and doesn't make much differnce.
Season doesn't matter. If it's cold, you need to put a blanket on your horse. It can get cold in the middle of summer sometimes; you have to pay attention to the weather.
A horse without fur would be very susceptible to sunburn and cold temperatures; exposure to intense sun or cold would likely prove fatal. However, if the horse is kept stabled and blanketed, it could have a reasonable life expectancy and quality.

Usually horses are blanketed to protect them from weather or keep them clean. Full size blankets can be used to help cool down and dry a sweaty horse, stablize the temperature of an ill horse, or warm one whose hair has been clipped. They can also insulate a horse from severe wind and cold. Saddle blankets keep the saddle clean and protect the horse from pressure points.
Most horses are happier in a more natural state. But if you live in an area that gets very cold in winter it is in the best interest of the horse to at least have a turnout rug and a place to get out of the worst of the weather. In extreme conditions a horse burns a lot of energy just trying to stay warm. Older horses especially need a little pampering.
a broad comment.
Ash from Mount St. Helens eruption was detected in several states but "blanketed" would be an overstatement.
no
Blanketing is bad for horses as you can read in the related link, however, if you rob them of their protection from the cold just because you want to spend less time cooling down or because you think it looks better, then your horse has no protection from the cold and you will have to blanket them in the winter, or any time it drops to extreme temperatures. To tell if your horse needs a blanket, touch his ears. if they are cold, he is cold. If not, leave him unblanketed because he is fine.
If a horse reach 100 years - nothing happens.
The type of cold medicine that a horse may receive would be totally up to the equine veterinarian that is overseeing the horse. Human grade cold medicines are not equine safe and should not be given,
if you're on the horse...how will you be biten..
