no they don't people often give their horse a blacket but they really don't need one as long as they have a dry place to get out of the weather they should be fine

on the other hand some horses do require blankets. Not all horses have a sufficient coat to last them through the winter. and a lot depends on the breed. like my TB would definitely need a blanket without one he would freeze, but before when I had a quarter horse it was no problem because his coat was nice and thick unlike my TBs'

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.

During which season should a horse wear a blanket - spring summer fall or winter?

u should only put a blanket on during winter. later fall and early spring u can have a light blanket on. horses do grow there own winter coat that is (don't quote me on this but) 10x warmer than a blanket and you should let them grow that for a little before u put a blanket on them. also younger horses do not need a blanket they should grow there coats out.


When do you use a horse blanket?

Winter of course.AnswerActually you shouldn't put a blanket on a horse because it stops the horse's winter coat from growing properly. Only put a blanket on a horse if it's extremely cold like so cold you are cold with a jacket on. Also during the winter horses should be in the barn and rubbed down. Show horses however need their sleek summer coat in shows (it makes them look better for the judges) so they need their blanket on as soon as they start to grow their winter coat.

How do you get bedding in on Howrse?

A blanket cannot be put onto a horse as you are unable to buy one. You can however have a blanket which allows you to have your horse sleep outside in all weather. To get this it is a random event. you just put your horse in the box and sometimes it will find objects. e.g tub of grease, whip, horse blanket and a few more. Plus I found it's more likely that you get the blanket when you put your horse in the box for THREE HOURS.
