I live in Denmark, and no if you don't have a problem with a thick winter coat, don't blanket your horse unless you know they don't grow a thick coatHorse fare better in all weather without a blanket, putting a blanket on them asholly makes they feel colder, because you are forcing the hairs down, theses hairs normally trap a layer of air that is used as insulationThe only time all my horses wear blankets is if they are out and it's close to freezing and rainingA wet coat and freezing tempritures are not good for a horseAt the moments we are having bellow freezing temperatures and only the horses that are showing are wearing blankets, all my young stock and a few of the horses I have in training are fine going natural(no blanket).
