Hello fellow horse owners!
How are your horses doing with this crazy weather? It's hot then it's cold then it rains a little. My horses are growing and shedding winter coats on a weekly basis. So the big question is, should you blanket your horse or not? From what I understand horses have a huge tolerance for weather changes not really needing additional insulation until the temperature drops to 115 (burrrrr good thing we are in Southern California). Blanketing certainly makes grooming easier and keeps the coat short but I was told once you put that blanket on you have changed the horses inner "thermostat" and you need to maintain the blanketing process for the rest of the season even when it warms up a little. On, off, on, off, on, off.....what do you do? Mine get wooly in the winter months!
