covering horses is during winter is important for either a thin horse (or a horse that is hard to keep condition on) so they dont have to burn fat to keep warm, or a horse that is being ridden alot during winter, as a fluffy coat (although cute) can be very hard to groom out, (and you dont want to be wasting precious light time during the winter, trying to brush out your horses coat!) and the horse will get quite sweaty during work if his coat is too thick! But if your not working your horse during the winter, and he is a good weight, then there is no need to rug a horse (it is actually very good for a horse to not be rugged during winter, as it will get him using his muscles to keep himself warm!!) hope this helps!! p.s sorry about the bad explanation!! you can Google it, all the information is there!!
