Your horse needs a blanket when?
It is bad for horses to wear blankets as you can read in the related link. The only time you would need to blanket a horse is if you rob them of their protection from the cold by clipping them.

If not, he probably isn't, so leave him unblanketed.
Which season should a horse wear a blanket?
I'm pretty sure Winter.......the season is cold and the horse probably needs the extra warmth not completely sure If you clip your horse, then the winter. However, it is better to leave your horse unclipped and unblanketed. They are better off with only their coat to keep them warm. They have very good ways of heating themselves, and blankets aren't one of them. Blankets don't cover all of the horses body, they cause the muscles horses use to dialate blood vessels to cool off and the muscles they use to lift hairs to make a thermal blanket to keep warm to atrophy. And if a horse has a blanket and they are too hot, they are left to sweat under the blankets. Also, horses thrive in the cold. When it gets cold, surely you have noticed how frisky they get. They love it! just try no blankets. Come back 10-15 minutes later and feel the horses ears. If his ears are cold, he is cold, so he may need a blanket.
