It is bad for horses to wear blankets as you can read in the related link. The only time you would need to blanket a horse is if you rob them of their protection from the cold by clipping them. In this case the blanket is the lesser of 2 evils, even though it is still really bad. To tell if the horse needs a blanket, touch his ears. If they are cold, he is most likely cold. If not, he probably isn't, so leave him unblanketed.
