If your horse shivers from the cold in the winter, you need a blanket. some horses get cold easy other don't. If you live where you don't get snow I would just let your horses grow there extra hair the natural way, but if you live where it snows you should put the blanket on.

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.
Which season should a horse wear a blanket?
I'm pretty sure Winter.......the season is cold and the horse probably needs the extra warmth not completely sure If you clip your horse, then the winter. However, it is better to leave your horse unclipped and unblanketed. They are better off with only their coat to keep them warm. They have very good ways of heating themselves, and blankets aren't one of them. Blankets don't cover all of the horses body, they cause the muscles horses use to dialate blood vessels to cool off and the muscles they use to lift hairs to make a thermal blanket to keep warm to atrophy. And if a horse has a blanket and they are too hot, they are left to sweat under the blankets. Also, horses thrive in the cold. When it gets cold, surely you have noticed how frisky they get. They love it! just try no blankets. Come back 10-15 minutes later and feel the horses ears. If his ears are cold, he is cold, so he may need a blanket.
