Just like dogs and other animals, horses shed because of temperature change. When you're hot, you take off your jacket. When you're cold, you put on a jacket. You can sort of relate to a horse taking off their "jacket" when they are shedding. How would you like to be kept in a winter coat for the whole summer? Horses shed so that their body feels comfortable during the hot months.
