Can a horse survive out in the snow without any shelter?

Yes provided they have plenty of hay, water (preferably warmish water) and they haven't been clipped. However, it is ideal to have at least a wall to give them a place to hide from the wind.

If it ever did start to rain, watch your horse, and if he starts shivering, bring him out of the rain.

What is rain rot?

Rain rot, also known as rain scald, is a common skin condition in horses caused by a bacterium called Dermatophilus congolensis. It thrives in warm, wet conditions and often occurs in horses with compromised immune systems or inadequate grooming.

Prompt treatment with topical or systemic antibiotics is important to prevent further spread and discomfort to the horse.
