how could i give 37degree temperature in a plastic box?
My horse does even though he is in a covered stall where i board its very cold and i would not want to be standing in thereI bought a blanket for him and it cost me $64.00
Here is one possible approach! Your first task in the preparation of the experiment would be to cover the inside box with a thin sheet of aluminum foilAfter the sheeting is done you can proceed to the filling and packing of the box with shredded newspaper to create the main heat barrier of the boxThen a barrier can be made with a thick layer of aluminum foil that would be laid down to seal off the boxA bit of improvising might be needed because a hole will need to be punched into the aluminum to fit the heat gun that will be needed to heat the boxAfter the box is heated to the needed degree the heat gun can be removed and a piece of packed steel wool can be placed over the hole and covered by another sheet of aluminum foilThe temperature of the box could be recorded every forty-five secondsSee how these works! Try other materials such as styrofoam, clothe, plastic, etcfor the interior of the boxGraph your results and compare which materials maintain the desired temperature for the longest period of timeGood luck!

Your horse does not need a blanket so long as you don't clip them,the horses I look after have been fine out in the snow when it's below freezing.Besides horses don't usually like being blanketed
I have a wool lined canvas turn out blanket for my horse, I think it cost aroun $70.00 several years agoHe doesn't wear it unless it is very cold during the dayHe has a medium weight stable blanket that he wears when the temp falls below 40 degrees F at night It probably cost around $70.00 too.
None of my horses where winter blankets, because they make their own winter coats.If your horse is shivering than it would be a good idea to get a blanket on him ( a light on) and if not then they are good for the winterIf they hae a really think coat or you plan on showing and keeping the coat sleek then blanket him heavily and his coat will stay sleek
