When it gets cold horses typically have a few options.In the wild: Wild and feral horses will group together to share body heat to keep themselves warm in the open. If they can find it they will use outcroppings such as trees and rocks to provide shelter from wind while grouped together. They will also try to find areas where there is forage to eat, as digestion helps keep horses warm.
Domestic: Domestic horses that are pasture kept will do the same things as wild and feral horses, they will group together and look for shelter, typically this is a run in shed if the need it. Sometimes they may have blankets on, or they may not depending on how their owner chooses to keep them.If they are stable kept then they will likely be put in a stall, with or without a blanket for extra warmth.

What landscape do horses live on?

Horses live on all kinds of terrain. Horses will live in mountainous areas with snow and blizzards, live in tropical areas, live on hard rocky ground, and some horses live in desserts. They all have adapted to their surroundings: on cold areas such as mountains with little grass to graze on, horses have evolved into ponies so they can survive on less grass than a full-sized horse could and they have developed thick fur and manes to protect themselves from the cold. In desserts they are slimer and can get by with a little les water than other horses. on hard rocky ground, they have developed hooves as strong as the ground they run on and have developed into a smaller horse because there are not rich pastures where they live.
