Best Answer

Horses, like many mammals, shed throughout the year to accommodate the seasons. Horses coats naturally grow to be thick enough to keep them warm in winter and thin out again for spring. They are as thick as they need to be.

During the winter, owners should feed their horses just a little bit extra food so a thin layer of fat is formed under the skin. This helps keep them warm.

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.
