Are Horse Blankets Really Necessary?
Physically the horse is a thing of incredible beauty and unbelievable wonder.
There are very few things in
the world more beautiful then a well groomed horse in motion.
It doesn t matter if that horse is performing a
complicated dressage test, running down the backstretch, sailing over a jump, or chasing after a calf, the
horse is a thing of incredible beauty.
In addition to being structurally designed to steal your breath , horses have a hair coat that is designed to
withstand the elements.
As long as they have plenty of fresh water, lots of roughage and a good shelter there
is very little reason to blanket a horse.
Most breeds have skins that are fairly tough.
In addition to a tough
skin they are blessed with a wonderful hair coat.
Their hair is designed to fluff and catch pockets of air, once
the air is caught in the hair it is warmed with the horses body heat.
A healthy horse with a good hair coat
will stay warm, wrapped in their air poc
