You usually put a fleece rug on a horse when you put them outside in the winter. Most horses wont need a winter rug because they grow a thick coat but if it's REALLY cold or your horse is clipped then you will need one.

What time of the year should you put a rug on a horse?
For my horse i put rug on it all year round as it is old and clipped. If you have a horse that has a thick coat then it would be ok in the wind although it would be a good idea to put a thin rug on during the rain.Also when it is extremely cold then you need a good thick rug to stop the animal from getting cold. It is quite obvious for a horse that is clipped - rugs on for cold days and when its very cold then put a thick rug or rugs on. If you have a choice of what time of year then it would be winter and other cold mnths but generally just the days that is cold and wet. Hope i gave u an idea..x
