Do horses get cold

Answer 1

Yes, horses can get cold. However, horses evolved in temperate climates, so they are much more comfortable at colder temperatures than humans (generally down to around the freezing point of water). Also, horses grow a thick winter coat in preparation for cold weather, which provides a lot of heat retention. I have seen horses with good winter coats happily standing out in a pasture when it is 25 F outside with no wind and a layer of snow on their backs - they wouldn't come back into the barn even though their caretakers were trying to get them back inside.

A horse will generally only get too cold when it is either very cold, the wind is blowing, or the horse is wet. In these situations, the horse needs to have a blanket on and shelter from the weather until the conditions improve.

Answer 2

Yes, horses can get cold, especially in cold or wet weather. It is important to provide them with proper shelter, blankets, and access to food and water to help maintain their body temperature. Regular health checks are also important to ensure they are coping with the cold weather.

Answer 3

Yes, they can. But it's not called a "cold". If you think you horse has a infection, go to your vet and ask lots of qustions. I hope I helped!
