They shed their coats in the summer like dogs, then grow a thick coat during the winter. It's evolution I guess, I mean they need a nice coat to stay warm in the winter.

They lose it because they would get too hot in the summer with it.
If you mean they have bald spots then they might have some infection, and a vet should be called to check it out.

Can other howrse players use the same coat as the one you have on your horses?

Yes they can. They have to buy a golden apple and use it on their horse to get the coat though. Also, sometimes a coat will be retired. At that point, that coat can no longer be used. Horses who already have it will be able to keep it, but no new horses will be able to get it.
