Blanketing depends on the lifestyle of the horse. Some never wear a blanket in their entire outdoor lives, others have dozens for specific purposes. Horses who are allowed to grow their winter coats naturally rarely need blankets. The exception being if they are wet enough to lose the loft in their natural coats, and it's cold, and very windy. They will shiver to keep warm, though, and rarely suffer from the cold. People blanket horses sometimes when PEOPLE get cold! In a stable situation, horses are often clipped (shaving off most of their body hair) to allow them to sweat during exercise and consequently dry more quickly. These horses wear blankets to compensate for the missing hair, and also to keep them clean and comfortable in their stalls.

They are always on their toes for predators, can travel a far distance each day to keep fit and get enough to eat. They are immune to diseases around where they live, as it happens through natural selection and several generations.As for blankets, horseshoes, and other things domestic horses have that wild horses do not, the truth is that domestic horses truly do not need these things. Horseshoes shorten a horses lifespan, and blankets prevent a horse from naturally cooling and heating its self, and heats it up unevenly, and this is bad.The question is more "How do horses survive with us", because we really mess with the way they were meant to be, along with introduce them to new diseases they are not immune to. Horses live better in the wild, and longer too.
