Horse's have a high tolerance to the cold, but are still vulnerable to frostbite. Horses evolved as temperate animals and actually are more comfortable in cold temperatures than in warm. One source states the horse's neutral zone - the temperature where the animal is most comfortable and is not expending any energy to keep himself cool or warm - is between 20 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit. That's why healthy horses, when left to their own devices, don't suffer the same discomforts as humans when exposed to chilling temperatures.
