on howrse its winter
A 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. If you live in a very cold area, and own a horse bred for warmer weather, it is best to keep a blanket on him. However, breeds that were made for cold weather may not neccessarily need a blanket.

AnswerUnless you clip your horse, he will be fine without a blanket year-round, and it is better for the horse this way. A horses coat is a great insulator, and can handle at least 30 degrees colder than we can. However, most people clip their horses because they dont want to take the time to cool down the horse or because they want the horse to look better in a show, and in that case a horse will need a blanket in the winter
