Which season of the year would you put a blanket on a horse?

You would put a blanket on a horse in the winter to save him from getting a cold or even dieing. However, if you do not clip your horse, it is better to leave him unblanketed. To tell if your horse is cold enough to blanket him, touch his ears. If the are cold, he is most likely cold. If they are not, he is fine as is. Also look for abnormal behavior. If he is standing listlessly with his head down, something is wrong, and it may be that he is cold.


How do you tell if a horse is dehydrated?

Good question. Horses, like people and most living things, need fresh water every day. A good indicator that your horse is needing water is gently pinch some hide on the side of his neck and then release. If the skin doesn't return to normal or is slow to return to normal he probably needs water. If he is very hot he may want to drink several buckets full. Dont let him. Give him small amounts slowly over an hour or so. And make sure that the water is not too cold. Too much cold water in an over-heated horse could give him colic or he could 'tie up'. Footnote-tie up usually happens when a horse has had too much exercise or different exercise than he is used to. The horse will stiffen up and not really want to move or walk.
