For my horse i put rug on it all year round as it is old and clipped.
If you have a horse that has a thick coat then it would be ok in the wind although it would be a good idea to put a thin rug on during the rain.Also when it is extremely cold then you need a good thick rug to stop the animal from getting cold.
It is quite obvious for a horse that is clipped - rugs on for cold days and when its very cold then put a thick rug or rugs on.
If you have a choice of what time of year then it would be winter and other cold mnths but generally just the days that is cold and wet.
Hope i gave u an idea..x
What else can I help you with?
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.

When feeding a horse hay should you put it in the bowl fast so it doesn't bite you or should you put it in there slow?
You should always demand respect from your horse and especially during feeding time. A horse biting (at feeding time or anytime) is a sign of aggression and should be dealth with. In the wild, the horse would never bite at the lead mare. The lead mare tells them when and where they can eat. In short, your horse is saying they don't have much respect for you. Start by putting a halter and lead rope on your horse before you feed them so you can have some control. Put the hay or feed in their dish or regular eating place and using the halter, dont' let them eat for several minutes. You don't have to wait long, just a few minutes but show the horse that YOU decide when they can eat, not them. You showing your dominance at feeding time is very important in having a respectful relaltionship with your horse. If your horse freaks out when you don't let them have their feed right away then you definitely need to go back to the basics and teach that horse some basic ground manners. Gain some control by gaining some respect. There are many great trainers to get great advice from. As long as your horse is now violently aggressive, teaching ground manners is quite easy. There are numerous books and DVD's on the market that can help you. And training your horse can actually be a lot of fun!! A well mannered horse is so much more fun to be around.
