If the horse is exposed to the colder weather, his body knows that it is time to grow a winter coat. However if he is blanketed and/or stalled, he will not be exposed to the weather, or not exposed very much, and therefore won't grow a very good winter coat because he has no reason to.

Normally the change of seasons, but a winter coats keeps them warm and cozy during winter!!!

Do you have to put a coat on your horse in winter?

It depends on the individual horse and its living conditions.

It is important to monitor your horse for signs of being too cold or too warm and adjust their clothing as needed.


Why is covering horses important?

covering horses is during winter is important for either a thin horse (or a horse that is hard to keep condition on) so they dont have to burn fat to keep warm, or a horse that is being ridden alot during winter, as a fluffy coat (although cute) can be very hard to groom out, (and you dont want to be wasting precious light time during the winter, trying to brush out your horses coat!) and the horse will get quite sweaty during work if his coat is too thick! But if your not working your horse during the winter, and he is a good weight, then there is no need to rug a horse (it is actually very good for a horse to not be rugged during winter, as it will get him using his muscles to keep himself warm!!) hope this helps!! p.s sorry about the bad explanation!! you can google it, all the information is there!!
