What breed of horses can live out all the time in really wet cold weather?

Any horse can live out in really cold and wet weather as long as the horse is not clipped and with a natural coat, with blankets it is hard for a horse to regulate its body temperature when the blanket is removed in cold weather. Any and all breeds of horses will grow a thick winter coat to bare the cold weather.

Does the cold weather affect the equine lamintis?

Yes it does. Cold weather can cause the ground to freeze over and become hard which makes it hard on the horses with laminitis to move comfortably. The cold weather will also cause the horses circulatory system to slow down and decrease blood flow to the hooves which can lead to more laminitis problems and increased pain in the hoof.

Do horses get cold?

Yes, horses can get cold. However, horses evolved in temperate climates, so they are much more comfortable at colder temperatures than humans (generally down to around the freezing point of water). Also, horses grow a thick winter coat in preparation for cold weather, which provides a lot of heat retention. I have seen horses with good winter coats happily standing out in a pasture when it is 25 F outside with no wind and a layer of snow on their backs - they wouldn't come back into the barn even though their caretakers were trying to get them back inside. A horse will generally only get too cold when it is either very cold, the wind is blowing, or the horse is wet. In these situations, the horse needs to have a blanket on and shelter from the weather until the conditions improve.
