It depends on the cob and it depends on the winter. My horses live in California and they get turnout rugs. If you have severe winter weather where you live than it is probably a good idea to blanket him or put him in a stall during the worse of the weather. If you do decide to use a blanket you must stick with it until the spring brings milder temperatures. And it is alway a good idea to have an extra rug on hand. Especially when worn outside, horses tend to find anything at all to rip or tear their blankets on.

What time of the year should you put a rug on a horse?
For my horse i put rug on it all year round as it is old and clipped. If you have a horse that has a thick coat then it would be ok in the wind although it would be a good idea to put a thin rug on during the rain.Also when it is extremely cold then you need a good thick rug to stop the animal from getting cold. It is quite obvious for a horse that is clipped - rugs on for cold days and when its very cold then put a thick rug or rugs on. If you have a choice of what time of year then it would be winter and other cold mnths but generally just the days that is cold and wet. Hope i gave u an idea..x
