Winter's almost here in Wisconsin! At what temperature do you guys put blankets on your horses? I know everybody's got a different situation, so here's mine:My 3 are all on pasture with a barn to go in for shelter and they keep their coats (are not clipped) all winter and have heated waterLast year I was putting blankets on when I felt it got too cold/windy/whateverThey don't like their blankets much but mom knows best! At least, I thought I did, until I asked around.I've had some people tell me a bunch of different things about putting on blankets:-Not until it's below zero outside;-Never; horses are fine as long as they have their winter coats and shelter;-Whenever the weather is below freezing (32 degrees);-All winter long, no matter what;-Only when the horse needs his muscles warmed up to work.So what's the best answer here guys?! To clarify, we're talking about actual winter rugs, not light sheets, etcThanks for the input!
Fruit is very healthy, as long as you don't make them unhealthy with adding sugar or whateverSo that is greatThe omelet is a good meal as well, but if you want to make it even healthier, cook with just egg whitesThe yolk is the fatty part.

My thought is: if it's wet, and it's going to drop below freezing, I throw the blankets onI guess I just feel bad for them, but I'd rather be safe than have a middle of the night vet visit! I've never had a problem with the coat not growing when I do that, and (knock on wood) haven't had any colic because of the weather.
