If you don't clip your horse and provide a run-in shelter from wind and rain, 99% of horses will be just fine and better off without a blanket in any season. However, the 1% of unclipped horses and the other horses that are clipped for whatever reason will need one in winter, it provides an extra layer of insulation to keep the horse warm because either it, for some reason isn't able to grow a good enough winter coat or because you robbed him of his natural insulator by clipping him.
