Which season of the year would you put a blanket on a horse?
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.

What season of the years would a horse need a blanket?
on howrse its winterA horse should always have a blanket or sheet on if he's turned out or while it's raining or when he's cooling out after work. Some owners also put sheets on there horses overnight when they stay in their stalls so that they don't get dirty. Generally you want a sheet or blanket on a horse if he's clipped in cold weather because he doesn't have a winter coat to protect him.

Do you need to blanket your horse after you clip him?
You most certainly do. Unless you are committed to the expense and chore of blanketing then you should not clip your horse. When a horse is clipped you have stripped him of his natural jacket. When I clip my horses in the fall for end of season shows I dress them in layers. At night when it is the coldest I start with a sleazy (full body or head/neck), then a cotton sheet or blanket liner, and last a stable blanket or if hi is outside a turn-out rug. If the weather is very cold I put hoods over the sleazys. If you put your horse out instead of a stall forgo the sleazys and hoods. The thing is once you start you have to keep the blankets on. Its a lot of work but your horse looks good all year and they do stay cleaner. The down side is of course as mentioned above is the work but mostly the expense. Hoods, sleazys and sheets run about $75 a piece. Stable blankets are about $125 to $150 and turn-out rugs can run up to $300 a blanket. If you have more than 1 horse like I do then multply and that will give you an idea of what you will be spending.
Do horses need to wear blanckets?
depends on the breed of the horse. after a sweaty workout and if it's cold defo put a blanket no matter how hot they are.Answer:Actually, no, a horse does not need a blanket no matter the breed and it is better for them if they do not wear one as it heats them up unevenly, and therefore does not do a good job. However, most people clip their horses for their convenience. When a person clips the horse, it is for one or both of two reasons: 1) they like the way it looks 2) it cuts cooling down time significantly. When they clip the horses coat, a horse needs a blanket because in clipping the horse they take away his insulation from the cold. If you are in the horse's best interests you will take the extra time to cool him down after a workout and see the beauty in an un-clipped horse just so that your horse can live a better life.
