Question:

For a horse with no winter coat, at what temperature should you start to blanket?

It isn't that my horse doesn't grow a winter coat-she does, and also I do not clip herBut I just moved from the East coast to the Midwest, and already our temperatures are going down at nightWe're expecting night temps in the 40s this weekSince this is a colder climate, I know my horse's coat growth will not be in sync with our early chilly weather, at least for the first winterSo, while she still has little to no winter coat, at what temperature would you recommend I put a blanket on her? When she has a full coat I only blanket her when temperatures drop to 32 degrees or lower, or if it is wet and rainyBut since she still has her thin summer coat, I don't want her to be miserableAny help or input is greatly appreciatedThanks.

Don't blanket yet - wait it out for a whileYou moved early enough that she has a real shot at growing a full winter coat appropriate for the Midwest wintersHorses need to go through a few cold snaps in order to jump start their hair growth - a couple of chilly nights now will translate into a thick and luxurious winter coat in time for the real weatherI don't blanket unless they're shiveringHorses are hardier than we give them credit for.
