Question:

Should I blanket my horses?

I've always grown up with horsesI know way to much about them reallyWe have two halfingers and a welsh cross that we dont blanketThey arent shaved or anythingMy dad said it was fine and my grandfather never blanketed them either except during showsI just want to be sure that I shouldn't blanket themI live in TennesseIt gets pretty cold, but usually not extremely coldWhat do you think???

Answer:

whole grains, like multi grain breads and pastas, fruits , veggies, read labels
Wild horses to live up in the mountains, without blankets of course, and it tends to get coldYes, some do freeze, but horses are fairly durableBut they learn not to try as hard as their ancestors did in the wild because they are being cared forThis is because their body notices someone else is doing the work for themIt would probably be okay to keep them the way they are, until it gets to a temperature where you can see their cold, such as shaking or frost building up on their coatsHowever, if you do blanket them, it would be healthy to keep blanketing them and not stop suddenlyMy trainer only blankets them if it's below 50 degrees, but she does tend to spoil themGood luck!
